I've needed to stop playing this game for a long time. Recent stability issues are kind of forcing me out now, app can only run a bit before disconnect and forced crash. I want to give it a thumbs down for stability right now, but after 20k+ hours I think that would be petty haha. I hope I don't pick this game up ever again, it's been real though.

Fun and surprisingly deep game to learn at start thinking its just casual idle game, click and upgrade and win, but nah man this game hits different lets say there’s a lot to learn about characters and strategies, and while casual play covers only a small part, the game has a huge “iceberg” of content like gem farming and wall pushing. Complex at first, but simple once you get the hang of it.

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, give I'd recommend it.

This is my first "idler" but as someone who has always loved the roleplay side of DnD this is actually a super fun game. There's several "Campaigns" that are quite extensive with surprisingly good writing - some laugh out loud moments and some nice, moustache-twirling villains. The "fan service" includes characters from the broader world of DnD - books, games, tabletop roleplay, cartoons - and is both well researched and integrates well into a broader world of Faerun.
If you are patient, you need to spend absolutely NOTHING to play this game effectively and well. The developers are incredibly generous with free giveaways and are concentrating hard on improving the experience for new players. Sure, the in-game shop has things to speed up your game or fun costumes, but not only are they all 100% optional you can earn them for free over time. Everyday the devs give you a small amount of free "real money" currency so you are not left out.
The game runs smoothly on PC and is just a fun, relaxing way to feel "productive" while also enjoying surprisingly good graphics and a catchy soundtrack. The devs are also active on social media, Twtich, and in charity streams so it's fun to see them lose/beat their own game.
I highly recommend this as a fun way to kill time even if you're not an "idler" game fan. Give it a go, it will cost you absolutely nothing to get hooked. :)

Not the most incredible game ever but I've been a fan of the forgotten realms since I was like 10 and I've read a lot of the books and played most of the games so it's fun to collect all the characters I've known for years :-) it's a little deeper in strategy than the usual idle game but there's not a ton of stuff to do so it's just a nice little way to waste some time

I would rate this game as "guilty pleasure", since I load it up almost every day, to watch my group of heroes either struggle to survive or finally beat another wave of enemies - sometimes the game doesnt want you to win... Anyways, you can play this on multiple systems, and it works with any kind of controls.

Game has been enjoyable, and they've been dedicated to releasing new characters regularly since release in 2020. Great to see so many D&D greats in the game.
