3Dice continue their crusade to upset me by not re-releasing Kyoko's Quest, and instead have released a new game called LEGION.
It's a 10-liner with a sort of 'mini-bonus' in the main game, and a proper free spins round too. The wild doubles as a scatter, three wilds starts the free spins round with 8 spins, four gives 10 spins, five gives 12.
The mini-bonus is when a wizard's staff lands on at least three reels, at which point they nudge to fill the entire reel, and then all turn into the same random symbol, and they pay on all lines irrespective of their position on the reels, a bit like your Book Of..... games.
This can actually pay decently well, it's not that rare to land four of them, and I've seen five a couple of times already, and whilst the lower tier symbols are poor pays, the picture symbols have some solid values on them.
It means the base game does have a bit of action in it, and you're not entirely reliant on the main bonus round.
.
The main free spins round is where the real pays can come though, any wizard's staff that lands nudges to fill the reel, and then remains for the rest of the free spins, every spin all of the staffs will change to the same symbol and pay like in the mini-bonus round, so the idea of course is to get three or more reels with the staff on them, ideally four or five, as early as possible, and then you'll get the pays for those reels every spin for whatever random symbol they change to. (They all change to the same one.)
It's a bit of a death or glory bonus round really, it can do a zero pay, because I've had it, and it can do very paltry pays too, you potentially need to be prepared to camp out a lot of stinkers - but it is capable of hitting well too. Bonus round frequency feels sensible too, I'd guess at around 1/160-1/180 maybe, something like that.
RTP is solid if unspectacular at 95% on the nose, although given the volatility I'd have preferred to see it at 96%. 3Dice pitch its volatility as being in their new 'GOLD' category, which is four chillis out of three, i.e. Outside of the scale they used to use to rank their games.
I'd agree with this, it will absolutely lay waste to 500x if you catch it wrong, so matching stake to bankroll is very important unless you don't mind risking a quick and ignominious bust-out.
I've put a fair few thousand spins through it now, and I really quite like it. The fact it can hit in the base game is nice, and the bonus round does get quite exciting if you can get four or five of the reels transformed.
Graphics and sound are both appealing, like all of 3Dice's stuff it runs smoothly, and the autoplayer is highly configurable.
I think it'll make its way into my regular slots rotation there, although I hope we get something a bit down the volatility scale next, as they do seem to be leaning into this new GOLD category rather heavily.
This is my best hit on it so far, one more reel of these fellas would have been 3000x for the single spin alone! (A full screen of the top paying symbols is 3000x.)
Round finished at 592x stake.

Good review though 
. I keep trying the game but more dead spins for me. Also the rare times i got a bonus flags came more then anything. I have seen some nice wins on it though.
