Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms

free-to-play, with microtransactions (?)

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms combines the familiar characters and setting of Dungeons & Dragons with idle-game mechanics and a considerable amount of number watching. Players assemble a party of champions, upgrade their abilities, complete adventures and gradually make the numbers become impressively large. Different heroes bring different bonuses and roles, encouraging players to experiment with formations and combinations rather than simply collecting everything that looks powerful. Much of the progression continues while you are away, which makes it particularly suitable for anyone who enjoys checking a game occasionally and discovering that their heroes have somehow become wealthier in their absence. It is basically adventuring for people who appreciate spreadsheets almost as much as dragons.

“Idle Champions is an idle clicker game where players must assemble and organize a party of Champions and master the art of Formation Strategy. Players unlock new Champions, upgrade them to reveal special abilities, and collect epic gear. The key to success is learning how to combine each Champion's abilities to maximize damage or the amount of gold earned. Only then can the player defeat an onslaught of increasingly powerful monsters.As players upgrade Champions, they choose specializations to increase their power further. Specializations need deep strategic thinking by the player as one specialization may increase the power of an ability but at the cost of another ability. Choices are permanent until the player completes each adventure.” - Codename Entertainment Inc.
