Idle Champions 12+

The game itself I like, but the interface on my device (an iPhone) is incredibly difficult to use. Everything is so tiny, I can’t read hardly any of the text or decipher what a particular button does, and when I try to press one button, a different one gets triggered because they’re about 2mm wide, making it very difficult to do anything with precision. Also, when attempting to scroll through FAQ’s and info, it jumps in whatever direction I scroll all the way to the end the moment I lift my finger, meaning I can only read the very beginning and the very end of any important info.

I’ve played Idle Champions since year 2. With time, of course they added new features and activities to keep you interested, but chipping away at the concept this is really an ‘idle’ clicker game. I’m fine with that, other than the period they added Seasons with daily tasks. While Seasons by and large were great once they got rid of the daily aspect, Idle Champions never properly supported idle gameplay with them. More than once, there would be a task with a counter revolving around kills or a feature that only works on an open, active party, not when running in the background or offline. Now they’ve given us Events 2.0. It’s overly long, tedious, convoluted and seems designed around offering 3x the micro transactions of Events 1.0. Of course I can just ignore Events (I am, and I’m no longer spending the $30-50/month I used to on this game), but the problem remains that server connectivity for all gameplay is choppy and the game itself crashes more in recent months than ever before. If it wasn’t for nostalgia, I don’t think I would be playing it at all anymore.

This game is great, except there’s a few bugs at the moment.

Minor Bugs: Using the level up until next upgrade button sometimes will level up tapping levels negatively 100 levels. Had a bug where Bruenor was buffing champions even when he was not in the same column somehow.

Major Bugs: Bruenor sometimes goes back to level 0 and then leveling him up grants you two Bruenors.
Game overheats my iPad sometimes, wish there were lower quality settings.
Lots of crashes all the time. Happens at the end of levels, as well as completing adventures. Only lost progress once though, most of the time the progress is still saved even after crashes.

Overall good game, but the crashes happen all the time, and it gets annoying after a while. The overheating is also a problem, but hopefully there could be lower settings in the future which would solve this issue.

Lastly, it would be nice to get some codes for the mobile versions as well!

And I suggest adding some mobile only gifts to all players to encourage the launch of the new app, those are always great!

I wish steam could sync to the mobile version, but hopefully that could be added in the future, for now, it’s not a problem.
