Today we launch our brand new campaign which takes our Crusaders into the depths of the Bush Whacker universe. Our intrepid heroes are tasked with dungeon raiding to wipe out the hordes of enemies creeping around in the catacombs.

However, the tight spaces mean the team have had to leave behind one of their comrades in order to fit into the musty tunnels. The new diamond formation requires more careful strategy to maximize your DPS.

New Diamond Formation



"Grond! Grond! Grond!"

The first three objectives we've created are dastardly enough, but the final fourth objective will challenge even the best players. The Crusaders must resort to a battering ram to taking down the final objective but, of course, that takes up two valuable spots in the formation. It's going to require the very best formation strategist to complete the entire campaign.

Victoria, British Columbia, 4 August 2015 - Today, veteran games studio Codename Entertainment announced the global launch of Crusaders of the Lost Idols, the next evolution of idle gaming. The game debuted at number 1 in the Idle Games charts on Kongregate.com - the largest dedicated web gaming site in the world.

Crusaders of the Lost Idols puts players in charge of a band of fighters set in the fantasy world of Bush Whacker 2. Their mission is to form a mighty group of adventurers to take on waves of enemies as they rid the world of evil-doers, bad guys, terrible T-Rex, irritable escargot and Panda Claw. Yes, that’s right, a giant panda with lobster claws.

In a unique twist to the new Idle Games category, Crusaders is the only game to include a unique formation feature. Players must now learn to master the art of organising their band into the most powerful formation possible.

The position of each fighter in relation to his or her companions will have a significant effect their attack strength. Combined with their equipped buffs and upgrades, this unique feature adds deep complexity to the idle genre. Another key feature of the game is the chance to earn the chests filled with rewards. As your heroes clear each level, they'll be matched-up against a boss character. If your Crusaders win, they'll be rewarded with gold, buffs and equipment to level-up their abilities.

Only those players who develop the best combination of formation, characters, buffs and upgrades will survive.

“We’re delighted to enable gamers around the world to play our latest game,” said Eric Jordan, CEO of Codename Entertainment. “Our beta player feedback was very positive with some players saying they were losing sleep because they were so hooked. We’re looking forward to more players trying Crusaders and also losing sleep because they can’t stop playing.”
