Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is adding its 100th champion, as the Dungeons & Dragons game begins to add characters from the classic 1980s cartoon. A free-to-play D&D strategy game available on console, PC, and mobile devices, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is an idle game based on Dungeons & Dragons and is set in the world of the Forgotten Realms. Deriving most of its content from the roleplaying game’s expansive lore, Idle Champions has characters from the tabletop RPG experience, alternative games, and community streams. Now developer Codename Entertainment is beginning to add a new cast of characters to the mix.

Fully released in 2018, Ide Champions of the Forgotten Realms has launched on iOS, Android, PS4, and Xbox One, as well as on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch via the eShop. Players progress through the game with various campaigns, collecting champions, forming powerful parties, and obtaining legendary gear to defeat a cast of villains. While Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms’ premise is fairly simple, there are complicated systems that enhance the game’s depth. From earning favor from a variety of deities, completing Time Gates and other in-game events to obtain new champions, and forming well-constructed teams, Idle Champions seems to scratch a strategy itch for many D&D players. A big part of the game’s appeal is the lengthy list of champions, including beloved D&D characters like Bruenor Battlehammer and Jarlaxle, as well as characters from Critical Role.
