“Fun game at first, until you realize the progression is painfully slow unless you spend large sums of money to feel like you're making progress. In game purchases are too expensive, even on sale. I spent $30 on gems to…”
“Best "idle" game out there. Honestly, it's not particularly idle. Monthly events, weekly challenges, all sorts of collectibles, very active Discord, multiple weekly streams, thousands of variants. Set up your team and…”

“I’ve been having a great time with Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. What really sets it apart for me is how well it ties into real D&D lore. It does not just feel like a generic idle game with fantasy paint on it…”
“I don't have any strong reason to definitely give it thumbs up or down really. Idler like there are many just you collect roster of heroes and is in DnD setting. Due to that you can somewhat familiarize yourself with…”
“First and foremost, Idle Champions is a numbers-go-up idle game, and by the gods the numbers sure go up. If you're not into idle games, you probably won't love Idle Champions. However, if, like me, you enjoy a casual…”

“fun idle game. lots of nice characters and art, and no need to spend money unless you really want too. events are long and offer good rewards”
“It's pretty fun and really nice to augment between DND time with some Forgotten Realms content. It's dynamic and you don't have to super pay attention if you just want to, as the name implies, be idle for a bit. But…”
“I downloaded this ages ago but only actually played it because they added Raistlin, a blorbo of all time. The only purpose of this game is to unlock him and do 6 quintillion damage. weeeeeeeeeeeeee”

“For some reason I love idle games, and this is the one that has really grabbed me. They are constantly adding content and there is a lot to it (by the standards of idle games.) It can be a little money hungry, but you can get by on free to play. If you like idle games and dnd,…”

— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Sadly, after all the time spent in this game (and some money to support them), it was time to quit. The game has changed from a fun idle game where you could set up a team and let it run through an adventure, to a babysitting game where you have to check the team every 2 minutes…”

Thanks for the reports, and sorry for the inconvenience! The only change from the previous v656 changelog is a bug fix for the 0 HP blocker bug that we encountered in v655.
Update for Boss Bug
We've temporarily rolled back to v.655 to see whether this fixes the boss bug blocking some players' progress. We'll work on an updated build first thing in the AM, whether or not this resolves it.
