A rare example of a game that starts out simple, but builds complexity depending on how quickly you can master the earlier mechanics, creating a satisfying experience throughout - as long as you're able to find an efficient path forward. There are points at which you fly through the progression, and times where things slow down and really push you to find the most optimal path forward. The game rewards both active and idle gameplay depending on your chosen factions (which can be swapped easily), with some upgrades only being accessible by spending time offline; but the overall trend is towards automation the deeper you go, as with most good incremental games.
My only real complaint is that the secret in-game achievements are all tied to upgrades, so you're strongly incentivized to look up the requirements online for any which you don't unlock accidentally or figure out yourself; these were fun for community-building when this game first launched on a site for flash games which had forums and chat functions, but with all of them solved it just creates a progression difference between those who look them up and those who insist on not spoiling anything and trying to figure everything out on their own. But that's ultimately a minor gripe which can be resolved in a few seconds via search engine.
Overall, if you want an incremental game that rewards analytical skills and experimenting with builds, with a very long road to completion, this is a great choice. I can't comment on the late game portions yet as I haven't reached them, but I find what's here to be very satisfying. All these years later, and it's still getting content updates!

Best idle game I've ever played, I haven't touched this game in 3+ years but i still reminisce about it and realized I never gave a review.
Pros:
1. Let's start with the best thing first, realm grinder has TONS of re-playability. Unlike other idle games, it doesn't feel like a chore to get to the abdication or even reincarnation aspect of the game. Because it adds something new and interesting, almost every time you do this (Such as excavating, factions, stronger factions, unique alchemy abilities and much much more) it gives the game a new playstyle, goal and something to look forward to every time. Unlike other idle games where you grind the same way over and over to just do it faster and faster with minimal difference in playstyle.
2. Nice music, realxed gameplay
3. A LOT of mechanics and continuesly discoverey, keeping things spicy and interesting and doing the same thing over and over.
so the cons some people might see.
1. Realm grinder is very complex, especially at higher reincarnations - you might need a guide unless you tirelessly sit down and calulate the math to manage your kingdom ( if you don't like this it's a con, if you do its a pro). It's one of the reasons I stopped later on, it became too much even for me - although there are guides.
2. it's not very animated if you prefer good visuals.
3. there is very slightly p2w like in any idle game, but I don't really consider it intrusive or bad - but could be a con for some.
4. runs can last days later on and can be a bit frustrating if you want to progress fast, but it is an IDLE game. So it shouldn't be a huge issue and remain a challenge.
I honestly can't think of any more bad things to say about this game and the cons are honestly nit picking and me trying to consider everyone.

There is several systems for builds and i like them so much, but progression curve is so slow that most people wont even see that there is great gamemechanics. Only downside is new stuff opens with giant gap after opening last thing.

A strategy idler, that has different factions with different play-styles, various research options, upgrades, buildings, pleasing pixelated graphics and clean/easy to understand UI that isn't cluttered with useless stuff. Very enjoyable and good for a casual background game. Also, doesn't shove MTX down your throat at every opportunity.
