The classic Dungeons & Dragons character from the 80’s anime has arrived in the Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, the officially licensed D&D strategy game. Developer Codename Entertainment is preparing to release the game’s 100th hero, and to celebrate, they’re bringing the Dungeon Master from the 1983 D&D animation into the fold.
Idle Champions is a free-to-play D&D strategy game available on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, iOS and Android. The game brings together characters from different novels, campaigns, and shows in a large D&D crossover. The developers are working with D&D creators to bring popular characters into the game, including contributions from creators such as Mark Meer, Anna Prosser, B. Dave Walters, and more.
Now, the latest hero to join the ranks is the Dungeon Master from the 1983 classic D&D animation. Players can unlock it in a running event that starts on April 27 and ends on May 9. In addition to Dungeon Master Champion, the content also includes United the Unicorn from the cartoon. The developers say it was great to include these classic characters in the game.
“He was our 100th hero, and we had plenty of classic D&D characters to choose from,” said Chris Dupuis, head of live services for Idle Champions. “However, when we finally got to the Dungeon Master, everything fell into place. I knew we had something special in the works.”
Dungeon Master game features inspired by his role in the cartoon. The developers say that he has a habit of invisibility, just like in the classic series. As he leaves, Uni takes his place on the battlefield.
Two other cartoon characters will also appear in Idle Champions. Two classic villains, Venger and Tiamat, will appear to try to impede your progress. Venger is the main villain of the TV series and Tiamat is a five-headed dragon who also fights the gang of cartoon friends.
