Role Play Games
Classic role-playing games immensely influenced contemporary computer or console role-playing games (CRPGs or simply RPGs). Players take up the role of any hero or adventurer, specialise in certain skills, and progress through a predetermined storyline. They manoeuvre their characters through game-worlds and gain access to important locations such as towns, dungeons, and castles. The characters’ skills develop through gaining of experience and acquisition of items. Modern versions have evolved into real-time RPGs enabling players to engage in live or online role-playing combat.
Adventure-thrill RPG game
Due to cultural differences, RPGs have been divided into two: eastern and western. The first allows players to create a character and make his own decisions through a non-linear narrative. The other enables players to control a group of predefined characters through a dramatic linear storyline. RPGs are further categorised into action RPGs (mixture of action/action-adventure games), massively multi-player online RPGs (MMORPGs), or tactical RPGs (mixture of strategy games). The “World of Warcraft” is the most dominant MMORPG, so far.
