Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The background to this game is an imposing column or coliseum structure, typical of those we have learned were in plentiful supply in Ancient Rome.

The graphics in this game are not going to set the world alight, but they are perfectly serviceable for a title in this genre. There is an abundance of gold and brown, which is perhaps the typical palette of the era. Throw in some orange and you also have the 70s!

The soundtrack is equally as dramatic and imposing, cranking up the volume every time you hit the spin button. It is somewhere between MasterChef and the The X Factor.

Heroes Empire RTP and variance

Heroes Empire bonus features

- Wild

In this Roman fantasy, the emperor is the game’s wild symbol, which is as it should be. He will step in and defend your honour by substituting for any other symbol in the game except the free spins symbol and the bonus.

- Emperor expanded

Our handy hero not only serves up winning combinations but will also spread across the reels when he lands anywhere on reels two and four.

- Free spins

If you manage to land three or more free spins symbols anywhere on the reels, this will kick off the free spins bonus feature. The awards are as follows:

• 5 free spins symbols = 20 free spins
• 4 free spins symbols = 14 free spins
• 3 free spins symbols = 8 free spins

During the free spins round, any part of the emperor that appears on the reels will nudge up or down to create a stacked wild.

- Free spin retrigger

Once you are in the free spins, you might find they never stop! You can retrigger the free spins round while you are in it and more can be won again and again.

- Pick & collect with multiplier

If you collect three or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels, this will initiate the pick a shield bonus game. Try not to collect the swords, as you will find yourself unceremoniously booted out of the bonus game. If you manage to collect three emperor’s golden coins, you will double your winnings!

Our verdict

Unlike many action adventure slots, Heroes Empire tethers you to one location rather than dragging you around on safari or subjecting you to a perilous chase with a dangerous enemy. In light of the surroundings, we will assume the location is Rome.

It is a relief to see a game with so many features. Caleta has put a decent amount of consideration and effort into choosing features that not only fit the narrative but also keep things interesting.

On the downside, your initial joy of securing a win may be deflated slightly when you see the size of the payout. The maximum theoretical win is far lower than most titles at 37.5x your total bet.

Knowledge is power, however. You will have to make your own assessment as to the volatility of this game, so stop chasing the maximum win and focus on what is coming in. You should find that Ancient Rome is a hospitable environment for your slot-based enjoyment.
