I wanted to see what was up with all this Clicker game retardation. Well, I saw and it was just what I thought it was: a pleasure pill dispenser on rapid auto-fire. No substance, barely any "strategy" and I'm stretching to use the word, so don't expect any thinking needed. This is a Facebook game for those that want RPG flavor without the hassle of RPG playing. If you're a fan of clicker games, yes, this is probably better than others. If you're not, no this is not something so totally different than others that it is worthy of being called good entertainment.

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

This review is primarily for those in the same region (South Africa) as myself! TL;DR for South Africans: 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! Gameplay 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 far more rewarding than other idle games. Often, I've found myself having to abandon an objective simply because I hadn't thought out my strategy and I wasn't quite ready for that challenge yet; the time sink would not have been worth the rewards essentially. Crusaders are seen as Supports, Tanks, DPSes, Healers, Gold finders etc etc - managing your formation is vital! As an example: some supports may offer a buff to all male crusaders but that will be reduced for any non-Royal Crusader. You'd need to assess whether the buff offered by a female, non-Royal Crusader would counter-act that. There are also Events where you can "win" event specific Crusaders. There are also special buffs that only occur for those few days - this adds a level of excitement and freshness to the game fairly frequently. The biggest drawcard for me is the idler nature - I can leave this running in the background while I work, or play other games. Artwork and feel Quite a big drawcard for me here! The artwork is good, the characters feel different and fairly fleshed out compared to the Heroes from Clicker Heroes. In particular, the Event Crusaders and objectives come across as having thought put into them. This game possibly wins the Most Monty Python References in a Game award...which is awesome. Community and Devs Great community and devs that actually get involved! Great stuff! Microtransactions... There is a store which provides players willing to drop some cash with a huge advantage in terms of how quickly they can progress through the game. However, I feel that the base level of the game is not that punishing to new players - there is a large roster of Crusaders to keep you busy and interested. Server issues As mentioned, the game is online only - this is fantastic as it means that there is no way for the game to be hacked or cheated. It does, as in my opening paragraph, create a severe issue for us South Africans; a problem that will no doubt be experienced by other players across the globe as well.

Fun but pointless. Work hard, get better troops, move on to harder enemies. Work hard, get better troops, move on to harder enemies. Forever.

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).
