Gameplay

The player confronts waves of enemies by clicking on them or managing a formation of unique champions with individual abilities. Each enemy drops currency that can be spent to unlock new champions or upgrade existing ones to strengthen the formation. Equipment can drop as loot, and be attached to specific champions to further enhance their abilities.[1][2] The game also revisits settings and storylines based on published adventures like Curse of Strahd and Tomb of Annihilation.[3]

Development

The game is developed by Codename Entertainment, whose previous incremental game Crusaders of the Lost Idols garnered popularity and served as a basis for this game.[2] On September 7, 2017, the game entered early access on Steam.[4][3] In 2018, the game released for the PS4 and Xbox One on December 11 and 14 respectively.[5] On March 25, 2020, it was fully released on Steam.[6] On May 7, 2020, it released for the Nintendo Switch on the eShop.[7]

The developers continue to add new unlockable champions to the game, some of which are based on characters from D&D novels, or actual player characters from D&D web series.[5][8][9]
