Age of Conquest Slot Review

Age of Conquest - Game Overview

I have spent quite a bit of time with Age of Conquest, Neon Valley Studios’ fantasy slot on the Microgaming platform. It runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines, with a bet range from 20p up to £200 per spin. The medieval world with a knight and a princess looks decent enough, though the character art feels recycled, which gives the game a slightly budget vibe.

Under the hood Age of Conquest is a medium volatility slot with an RTP quoted around 97% and a maximum win of 10,000x your stake. The gameplay is very straightforward: you spin for stacked character symbols, regular wilds and the main diamond meter feature that can turn reels fully wild. Everything is built in HTML5, so the slot runs cleanly on mobile and tablet as well as desktop.

Bonus Features in Age of Conquest

The stand-out symbols in Age of Conquest are the two lead characters, the armoured warrior and the princess. Both appear as fully stacked symbols and sit at the top of the regular paytable. Above each reel there is a diamond meter that can hold up to two gems. Any time a diamond lands on a reel, it fills one slot in that reel’s meter and edges you closer to a wild reel.

When you have two diamonds in a meter, the Wild Reels feature kicks in and the entire reel becomes wild for the next two spins. The standard wild symbol already pays best in the game at 50x your stake for five of a kind, so landing full wild reels has proper punch. You can have several reels in wild mode at once, which is where the game’s headline wins come from.

Free Spins in Age of Conquest

Free spins in Age of Conquest are triggered by the golden throne scatter on reels one, three and five. Land all three at once and you are taken to a choice screen with three modes. You can pick 25 free spins with one guaranteed wild reel, 8 spins with two guaranteed wild reels, or just 2 high risk spins that come with three guaranteed wild reels on every spin.

In the bonus round the diamond meters are not needed for extra wild reels, as wild reels can appear under the blue banner on any spin. That makes screens filled with wilds much more realistic during free spins than in the base game. You can retrigger by landing the scatters again on reels one, three and five. Personally I lean towards the middle option, as it mixes time on the feature with punchy hits.

How to Play Age of Conquest

Age of Conquest has a simple interface, which suits new players. Most controls sit in the lower corners, with a small hamburger menu opening the extra options. I usually start by tapping the "i" icon to bring up the paytable and feature descriptions. The paytable is dynamic, so the values shift as you change stake size. The question mark button opens a help window with full game rules and small print.

The small cog symbol leads to the settings page. Here you can switch off the intro screen, turn on quick spin and toggle the sound effects and background music. Once that is sorted, set your stake using the central bet display. Age of Conquest works with total stake rather than coins, and the range from 20p to £200 per spin covers low stakes testing and the odd higher stakes session.

Autoplay in Age of Conquest is basic but handy. You can lock in 10, 25, 50 or 100 automatic spins, then sit back and watch the diamond meters climb. There are no advanced loss limits, so I tend to use short blocks and keep an eye on the balance myself. If I land a feature or a hit that feels decent, I often stop autoplay and reassess the stakes before carrying on.

Where to Play Age of Conquest

As Age of Conquest runs on the long-standing Microgaming platform, I find it in plenty of mainstream online casinos. Any site that carries Neon Valley Studios titles or the wider Games Global catalogue will usually have it in the lobby. The slot plays smoothly in browser without downloads, both on desktop and mobile, so you can spin it on whichever licensed gambling site you already favour for real money sessions.

The 200 Spins Age of Conquest Experience

I put Age of Conquest through my usual 200 spin test at £1 a spin. Wilds dropped so often in the base game that the diamond meters sometimes felt pointless, with full wild reels arriving even when the meters were empty. Small and medium wins kept the balance fairly steady. I triggered free spins twice, first taking 8 spins with two wild reels, then the 2 spin option, and finished more or less even.

Age of Conquest Review Summary

Age of Conquest feels like a slot that almost gets its balance right but stumbles in places. I would prefer fewer random wild reels in the base game so that the diamond-triggered reels had more weight when they landed. The borrowed character artwork takes a bit of shine off the presentation as well. That said, the pickable free spins modes and the constant presence of stacked symbols do keep the action ticking over.

For me Age of Conquest sits firmly in the mid-range bracket. Medium volatility, an RTP around 97% and a max win potential of about 10,000x your stake make it fair rather than spectacular on paper. If you like straightforward spinning with plenty of wilds, and you do not mind that the fantasy theme leans on familiar art, it can still serve as a solid, low-pressure option in your slot rotation.
