Do you ever get lost while exploring Idle Champions' nine-plus years of campaign content? Forget about a feature that could have been useful? Wonder what your Champions do when they're not out endlessly defeating their foes? The Bastion is here to help!
The Bastion is a new pathing & navigation system designed to help guide you through the features and functionality of Idle Champions. It is a sprawling 15-room manor where your Champions can rest and relax between adventures. Each room is associated with one or more game features, and each room unlocks in sequence to introduce new players to the limitless depth of Idle Champions one feature at a time.
We've been talking about the Bastion system for a while now on our Thursday Dev Insights Twitch Stream, and we're excited to announce that as of today, it is entering the opt-in Beta phase of its development, where we can begin to collect feedback and collaborate with you, our community, to make it even better!
Your Bastion isn't empty, either! You'll find your Champions wandering its halls and striking up conversations with each other as they make themselves at home.
Experienced players will begin with most, if not all, of the rooms already unlocked. Newer players will unlock additional rooms as they progress through the game and meet specific requirements.
And don't worry: opting in to the Bastion Beta will not remove access to any game features you've already unlocked.
If at any point you wish to opt-out of the Bastion beta, you can do so in the Settings menu. If you wish to opt-in again after that, you can do that as well through the Settings menu or by clicking on the small Bastion icon on the DPS box in the top-left corner.
Please let us know what you think, and if you have any suggestions that could make the Bastion system even MORE helpful!
