Crusaders of the Lost Idols

Yet another senseless, boring, ... clicker game... -.- Installed it because of a code from humblebundle. wasn't even worth the installation...

Nice idle game.

For a clicker game this is one of the better ones. However it does have that same store mechanic like every other game where they're selling you stuff for hundreds of dollars. Why would you try to get people pay tons of money for a game like this? A game that barely even has content or gameplay? That's just preying on people who can't control their spending.

installed for 30.3 hours played for 30.3 hours good fun for idling game!

a fun idle clicker with lots of potential

Crusaders of the Lost Idols is a clever game that is far too hard core and far too grindy to really be enjoyable. The premise is simple, use a group of characters, in a certain ‘formation’ to complete a goal, say level 350. Each ‘crusader’ has slot with equipment as well as powers. By placing certain ones next to other ones you might gain more damage or more gold. Each level has a goal, when it’s met you move on to the next one. Then you ‘reset’ the game which gives you idols. The idols in turn, permanently give you more dps and gold. The problem is that game is so complex, there are so many different talent and builds, that people have tried to make spreadsheet to figure it out. Those are so complex you need an MBA just to figure out where to spend your idols. You can try just any combination, but you will hit a wall and accomplish nothing. The devs have certain bases campaigns that are available all the time, and then 2 weeks a month, a special event. The difficult ...

I mainly play on browsers, which doesn't matter in the context of this game since they're all the same, except on mobile. But yeah, if you want an idle game this is an amazing one. One of the key things you're gonna have to get used to is optimising formations for specific purposes, be it purely for power for freeplay, or adjusting your formation based on an objective's specific gimmick. Only real downside is it's pure RNG when it comes to unboxing Epics for your crusaders. For the vanilla 20 (or 21-26 depending on whether you reach that far) crusaders that's not that hard, but for event crusaders it's pushing you to burning your warps to get event currency for more map runs, or eventually succumbing to spending steam wallet money (or the site's appropriate alternative like Kreds where I mainly play it).

Its ok, nice to have runnign in the backround during work....

[h1]This review is primarily for those in the same region (South Africa) as myself![/h1] [b]TL;DR for South Africans:[/b] Don't play this! Currently, the game is online only, and the server is located far enough away that not all sprites load when you play. It used to be able to be fixed by dropping to low quality and restarting the game, but recently there are just far too many assets needed to be loaded. As such, you cannot drag the Crusaders around to make use of their formation bonuses. Hopefully this gets fixed in the future, but the devs are seemingly focused on creating new content for the game rather than fixing these issues...ironically, that new content aggravates the problem, making it even more unplayable for us! [b]Gameplay[/b] Don't let the tag of "clicker" fool you - this is a great idle game that quite easily beats games such as Clicker Heroes and Adventure Capitalist. The formation strategies and swappable heroes add a dimension of thought and difficulty that feels ...

Good game to play in the background. Gets pretty interesting and challenging. Totally different from all the clicker games I played so far.
