Realm Grinder vs Total War Battles: Kingdom
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.
Total War Battles: Kingdom
Total War Battles: Kingdom is the free-to-play version of a Total War game that is available on the mobile platform. Set in the medieval times, the game perfectly captures how things were back then - an era filled with almost constant skirmishes and conflicts between lords and fledgling kingdoms. The gameplay mechanics are pretty well-done despite being somewhat restricted - you can only bring a maximum of 9 battalions into battle, for example, and it does retain most of the Total War archetypes like city-building, army training, and battles.Unfortunately, Total War Battles: Kingdom definitely pales in comparison to any of the games in the main series mainly because it fell victim to one of the worst pitfalls in the free-to-play gaming industry: microtransactions. Don’t expect to get far into the game without spending real money first, but if you still choose to persevere, it would probably take you weeks of constant playing to get your kingdom somewhere solid enough for you to hold your own.
That said, the game is still a pretty decent albeit casual installment of the Total War series. Fans of the franchise or of casual MMO strategy games on the mobile platform may want to give the game a try.
