Might & Magic: Heroes VII vs Realm Grinder
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
Realm Grinder
Realm Grinder is an amazingly addictive idle RPG from Kongregate. In this game, you actually get to play as the proud owner of a piece of land that you've decided to turn into a kingdom with you being naturally the king. However, unlike most MMO strategy games that will have you fighting and conquering one another, this game puts you on the path to economic prosperity by simply tapping and purchasing upgrades, as well as by building alliances.What makes this game so much more entertaining than your usual idle RPG is that the features it has are simply astounding! You get to unlock new features and content as you progress and this little game contains months' worth of unique content that can keep you constantly engaged. This in itself is an impressive feat but the game doesn't even stop there - you have achievements to collect and frequent and varied events to keep things interesting whenever game fatigue is just about to set in.
So, if you are about to dive into one of the world's most in-depth idle RPG, just be sure to set aside enough free time. You will find time to somehow speed up whenever you are playing Realm Grinder.
