Mount & Blade vs Realm Grinder
Mount & Blade
Mount & Blade is the first game in a highly popular game franchise that boasts of being an RPG with one of the most sandbox-like gameplay ever. In this game, you can play as anyone you like be it a lone adventurer, a military commander or even the "mayor" of a small town in Calradia. The game also provides a rich and open world, allowing you to travel anywhere you like and discover all manner of points of interest ranging from farm villages to massive castles. You even have the freedom to interact with hundreds of characters, some of which will likely be hostile towards you. Due to this, the game provides you with an intuitive combat system that includes both sword-fighting and fighting on horseback that you can use to dispose of the hostile.Mount & Blade is an old game, and as such, its graphics may be a bit dated and its controls feel rather clunky. Thus, the game by itself might not be worth the money, but if you can get it along with Mount & Blade Warband or Mount & Blade With Fire and Sword - the two other and much better games in the series, then it'll be worth getting it.
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.
