The grid is offline. The city's wealth is unsecured. It’s time to initiate the link. Welcome to Role Playing Grounds, the ultimate real-world cyberpunk territory war. The entire planet is your game board. We have mapped every real-world coffee shop, stadium, and skyscraper in your actual city and turned them into hackable digital assets. Walk outside, track your GPS dot on the tactical dark-mode grid, and build your digital empire. FEATURES: • LIVE REAL ESTATE: Scan your physical neighborhood. Hack real-world businesses to earn passive income. • AR FIREWALL BREACHES: Walk up to Legendary Tier 3 targets (like airports and hospitals), open your camera, and cut the holographic AR wires in the real world before the firewall detonates. • THE SYNDICATE DOME: Conquer 5 properties in the same zip code to fuse them into an impenetrable Mega-Syndicate, shielding your neighborhood from rival attacks. • TACTICAL PVP: Access the Black Market to acquire tactical gear. (Note: Premium items like Faction Airdrops and Titanium Shields are available as optional In-App Purchases). • HOLOGRAPHIC TRADING CARDS: Crack open Booster Packs to collect stunning, full-art 2D AI trading cards. (Note: Ultra Rare Booster Packs are available via In-App Purchase). *IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SUBSCRIPTIONS & PURCHASES:* Role Playing Grounds is free to download and offers a 1-Month Free Trial. After the trial, unlimited global map access and infinite real-world heists require an active "Grounds Pass" Auto-Renewing Subscription ($9.99/month). The game also contains optional consumable In-App Purchases to accelerate your gameplay. All paid features are clearly marked in-game. ://docs.google.com/document/d/1HIi5KyJktj2fNjC8B-2CG1jKoYiC-cTbNm1upRmltV8/edit?usp=sharinghttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1tG9k7wH1qJPxZf5g1kUR5u5j9fUivv_O4vMosaBzUeM/edit?usp=sharinghttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1K-IdAhJMZkD_i4zgK31bJT0gMF0LMCXyOBJaS3JSlUk/edit?usp=sharing

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Idle Mage Academy at none against Role Playing Grounds's 8. Idle Mage Academy also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Role Playing Grounds's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
