We got any idle gamers here? Come one come all! I dont care if its cookie clickers, realm grinder, crusaders of the lost idols, adventure capitalist, whatever it may be. If you play one of those idle incremental type games lets hear about it. What you like, what you dislike, etc. I will start with my current game
Im restarting realm grinder after a long hiatus. The basic gist of it is standard enough, you buy structures that earn coins, use those coins to buy more structures and upgrades, then reset once you have earned enough gems to do it all over again, this time moving further ahead. What makes it interesting is it has such a wide variety of options. For example, there are two factions to start, good and evil, each faction has three races to choose from, and each race has its own positives and negatives. As an example, one of the good races, elven, is meant to be played actively clicking for coins, of which its unique upgrades provides numerous bonuses that make a big difference. meanwhile on the evil side you have the undead whose stats increase the longer you play as them, and even more so when not playing the game at all. Meaning you buy all your current upgrades, then log off for the night. By the next day you are making LOTS more coins.
Then once you are settled in with these factions you will be able to unlock three more races that provide their own special powers and bonuses. The way to unlock them is secret but the game provides clues and there is always the very well setup wiki to guide you. THEN it gets even better as things start to slow down you get the ability to unlock 2 more races, these ones get stacked on top of the previous 6. So basically, you play as elves till you unlock all their spells, then you can unlock dwarves to get their upgrades on top of all that.
As you can tell it all gets complicated and there is a lot more to it than that. However, its all doled out slowly enough that you dont get overwhelmed by it all. Its not just dropping 375 combinations for you to choose from all at once and saying good luck. The other plus side is the trophies and accomplishments. In most games they are just a way to show how far you have gotten, "Congrats on building 300 of that structure!" That sort of thing. In this game its that, and they sometimes unlock even more upgrades. Some are so simple, just build so much of this, play as that faction, others require specific setups like say, playing as the good faction for such and such length of time unlocks a boost to all good buildings, that sort of thing. The DOWNSIDE is that some are kind of obnoxious. Right now im playing a single game with no resets for 36 hours straight to unlock something. So basically, just not playing for a day and a half. But its important to unlock so no choice really. But they are generally one time deals so once you do that, you are set. The game has an unbelievable amount of things to do and more and more get unlocked as you go so it helps keep boredom from setting in. Plus its still getting updates and such, adding in newer and higher level things to do.
