Role-playing games (RPGs) are genres that allow gamers to transform into characters in the game and perform tasks. Role-playing games can be considered a blend of action and adventure genres. They still have a specific plot or context but emphasize the control skills of gamers.
Although role-playing games are not the most popular names, this is the game genre that brings in the most revenue for publishers. This stems from gamers’ reluctance to grind but still wanting to own rare or high-power items. Taking advantage of this, publishers have released many power-increasing items at high prices.
Not to mention that role-playing games also have many different sub-branches. However, there will only be a few branches that really gain a lot of popularity from players. Detail:
- Action RPG
- MMORPG
- Sandbox RPG
- Tactical RPG
In terms of quantity, RPG is currently the mobile game genre with the most products on the market. There are games that can only exist for a short time. But there are also many names that have become true blockbusters: Genshin Impact, Chrono Trigger, Stardew Valley, etc.
