RPG

TL;DR definition: A game where you level up character(s), usually gain experience points have stats gain items that go in an inventory Usually fight other characters Usually uses a text based system but not always It also usually works just like how a tabletop RPG does but in a videogame. What it's NOT: Just a game where there's a character that has a role you play, there's a large amount of other games that have that description and aren't RPGs. A game that has a typically fantasy environment, those are just what a lot of RPGs have, but it doesn't define what an RPG is. An RPG could be about food, dogs,markets, etc. Two examples of RPGs are Undertale and Pokemon.
