Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is a free-to-play strategy management game developed by Codename Entertainment Inc. It unites Champions from Dungeons & Dragons tabletop campaigns, video games, novels, actual plays, comic books, and shows into formation-based idle combat. The roster is the strongest differentiator: more than 140 Champions, including Drizzt Do'Urden and the Companions of the Hall, Minsc & Boo, and Astarion and Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3, each with formation abilities and ultimate powers. Players optimize formations across hundreds of adventures, and Champions continue fighting enemies even when the game is closed. Familiars automate basic tasks such as leveling Champions and picking up gold, keeping focus on formation strategy. Since launching in 2017, the game has added 8 campaigns based on official TRPG releases and over 200 adventures.

Formation Strategy and Familiars

Formation strategy centers on positioning over 140 Champions so their unique abilities and ultimate powers create synergies. Players can manage multiple adventuring parties to test Champions and earn greater rewards. Combat runs automatically until the party is defeated, even if the game is closed, and Familiars handle basic gameplay like leveling Champions and collecting gold. Mastery means pushing formations further with each adventure; the source states only the most powerful formations will complete the greatest challenges.

D&D Multiverse Locations

The game travels across the Sword Coast and beyond, visiting legendary cities such as Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep, and Sigil, the City of Doors. It also features the mists of Barovia, the endless Blood War of Avernus, and the Astral Sea. These locations tie into the 8 campaigns based on official TRPG releases, giving formations specific D&D settings to push through.

Content Updates Since 2017

Since launching in 2017, Idle Champions has received multiple content updates every month, according to the source. It lists 140+ Champions, over 200 adventures, 8 campaigns based on official TRPG releases, and dozens of new features and systems. These updates expand the roster and adventure count rather than replacing the core formation loop. The next big update is described as never far away.
