A good game to kill a few tens of thousands of hours.

Why yes, I did only download this because they added Astarion.
And yes, I am already addicted to it despite not even being able to use him yet.
I agree this is Vampire Survivors all over again, but just one more run and then I'll come off, honest.

"I Didn't Choose the Idle Life, the Idle Life Chose Me!"
Ah, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, the game that made me question whether I was actually playing or just watching my party have a tea party with monsters. It's like Dungeons & Dragons, but with less dice rolling and more finger tapping.
Pros:
Multi-tasking Mastery: Finally, a game that lets me be productive while also pretending to be a hero. I defeated a dragon with one hand while folding laundry with the other. Who said men can't multitask?
Strategic Genius: Forget about intense battles and complex strategies. Just place your champions on the board and watch them do their thing. It's like chess, but the pawns have personalities, and the queen is a fireball-flinging sorcerer.
Epic Storytelling: The storyline is so engaging that I almost forgot it was there. I was too busy collecting coins and leveling up my champions to pay attention. But hey, there's something about saving the Forgotten Realms or whatever.
Cons:
Gold Addiction: I now understand the true meaning of gold fever. I can't stop collecting it. I even dream about gold coins falling from the sky. Is there a support group for this?
Clicker's Cramp: My poor mouse went through an existential crisis after all the clicking. I'm considering getting it a tiny ergonomic chair and a stress ball.
Party Animals: My champions are throwing parties more often than they're fighting monsters. I'm starting to think they're in it for the loot and the chance to show off their dance moves.
In conclusion, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is the game you never knew you needed in your life until you find yourself trying to beat a boss while cooking dinner. It's the ultimate test of your ability to simultaneously be a hero and an adult. Don't fight it, embrace the idle life!

This game came in a long line of other idle grinding games. I've played this before only now it has D&D and Baldurs Gate characters in it. You can throw money at it to give you a lot of boosts but you don't have to. It only takes you longer to reach all the goals and achievements.
Is it fun and worth it?
That depends on what you are looking for..
As a Gamer I play at least 3 hours a day and in the weekends sometimes 10 hours a day.....and sometimes it's the only thing I'll be doing except ordering a pizza when I get the chance. Lot's of different games. This one I'll start and end with each session since I downloaded it two weeks ago. It only takes you about 10 to 15 minutes to administrate your party and its upgrades to keep them going on their adventures.
Mmm, it's like my aquarium. It takes a couple of minutes each day to feed my fish and keep the tank healthy and clean. It's no hard work and I like to stare at it once in a while and see all my fish going on their happy swim. It'll scratch an itch if you know what I mean.
So yeah, it's a fun game to have on the side.
It helps if you have some intelligence to speed things up. Their is a lot of mathematics behind this game. But don't let that stop you playing this game if you are a dumb fart. Like I said, it only takes you longer to reach all the goals and like my mother said people who are always in a hurry miss all the fun parts. As long as you're enjoying yourself and don't do harm to other people in real life.
Man, that's deep. Didn't knew I had that in me.
Chow chow!

If you are going to play this game you should be aware that it is a very slow grind. Micro-transactions technically 'speed up' the game but there is no real benefit to going through the game faster. It's an idle game, 90% of the time I'm just running the game in the background. The game isn't for everyone so just be aware of what you're getting into.
I've also never encountered any times where I've felt I needed to use micro-transactions. Everything in the game can be obtained very easily for free - just enjoy the 'grind' :)
