Role Playing Games

RPG Games

Defining with precision what RPG games are could prove to be a bit tricky. Initially, role-playing games came to this world through the media of pen and paper. Soon enough they went digital, transferring their text-based adventures in university networks.

RPG


It took a while for the genre to really pick up, but many online systems were created, using and modifying the principles of Dungeons And Dragons. There are still plenty multi-user dungeons games out there with their thousands of characters running after one quest or another. Or running for mayor, who knows. Role-playing games typically are connected with the control of one or a few characters. Unlike other genres which fit this definition - action and adventure come to mind - in true RPG games the player can influence the development of the characters. Because each one of them has ascribed certain statistics, depicting what the character can do or how good he can do it. Usually, but not necessarily, every character can grow in level, acquiring new points for allocation on a chosen attribute. In the majority of cases, there are items or tokens which can strengthen given ability, make two abilities synergize, or grant a brand new one. These two characteristics are intrinsic to any role-playing game, be it virtual or live action.

In games like Arcuz the player controls one character who has his stats and items. He roams around the world looking for quests and monsters to slay, saving the world in the process. In fact, the main character is the only hope left to the village of Arcuz before it is overrun by spooky monsters. Other games, like Hands of War 2, also involves hacking and slashing through ranks of various creatures, but they provide much greater freedom to the player. In these title it is entirely up to the player to decide which faction to join and what kind of quests to do. This means that he or she has substantial control over the final outcome of the game, making the narrative more interactive and attractive. Take for instance Dragon Age: Journeys. Indeed, it lacks the depth of its X-Box counterpart, where the player has astonishingly great impact over the fate of the virtual world, but this possibility is still there to be enjoyed and exploited.

Another great RPG title is Undead Throne. Full of action and bloodshed, it remains a real role-playing game, because the modifications of the main character are the only way forward. It has a wonderful crafting system for better itemization - quite in the spirit of RPG games. It is true that it lacks numerous quests and the main goal is not to save the world but to conquer it, instead. All the same, it fits the category of RPG games perfectly well because of the aforementioned reasons. Control over the development of the character, itemization, and a world of bountiful opportunities are keystones in every role-playing game.
Saving the world is possible but not always a necessity. Sometimes controlling it is much more rewarding.
