Legion Gold Unleashed Review

Legion Gold Unleashed, a sequel from developer Play’n GO to its earlier 2023 release Legion Gold, enters the stage. While the initial Legion Gold failed to impress, it later served as the foundation for Detroit Red Wings Winged Reelers, an ice hockey game based on a real team, which also received mixed reviews. Nevertheless, someone out there must have been intrigued, as now we have Legion Gold Unleashed, promising an enhanced entertainment experience. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.

As Legion Gold Unleashed begins, the scene unfolds from a scorching sky to a sandy vista, presumably in North Africa, where the Roman Empire once extended. Perhaps near Carthage, Rome’s formidable adversary, famously declared by Cato the Elder to be destroyed. Fast forward to the present, and players can stake from 5 cents to $/€100 per spin, with a medium volatility level and an improved default RTP of 96.25%.

The grid maintains its 5-reel, 3-row layout with 25 paylines, adorned with symbols ranging from royals to animals. While the gameplay largely echoes its predecessor, there are some tweaks, including the addition of Gold Coin Bags. These bags appear alongside Gold Coins, triggering Gold Respins when six or more are collected. During Gold Respins, only Gold Coins and Bags land, with Bags awarding the total value of Gold Coins present.

Mega Free Spins also make a return, triggered by landing three scatter symbols, offering 5 initial spins with a Mega 3×3 symbol on each. Retriggers and additional spins are possible, along with the chance to activate Gold Respins within the Free Spins round.

While Legion Gold Unleashed introduces a few changes, it falls short of truly earning its “unleashed” moniker. The addition of Gold Coin Bags is a welcome inclusion, but the overall gameplay feels more like a reshuffling than a true evolution. Moreover, while the potential win has increased to 3,000x the bet, it still pales in comparison to other contemporary slots.

In essence, Legion Gold Unleashed serves as a mid-tier slot that may appeal to casual players seeking a Roman adventure without the thrills of high-stakes gameplay. While visually appealing, it lacks the innovation and excitement found in more cutting-edge offerings. As Play’n GO continues to release visually stunning yet somewhat uninspired slots, it leaves one wondering when they’ll truly unleash their full potential.
