Role-Playing (RPG): Denotes any game for which character development is the main driving gameplay mechanic. Typically one or more characters are created and shaped by the player, then embark on a series of encounters that increase the inventory, wealth, or combat statistics of said character(s). Traditional RPGs are turn-based and in a fantasy setting (Rogue-like games, The Bard's Tale, Wizardry, Pool of Radiance, etc.) but many fit into either different settings (Wasteland, Fallout, etc.) or are real-time instead of turn-based (Diablo, Nox, etc.) or even a combination of real-time and turn-based (later Final Fantasy games, Anachronox, etc.) Part of the Basic Genres category. You can browse through games in the MobyGames database that are part of this genre via the game browser. Highest Rated5.00 Atari Hits 2006 (2006)
