Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".


Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.

That *is interesting. I love the nostalgia and I’m honestly burned out on action rpgs and open worlds.

There is stuff I'd play for nostalgia reasons, but I wouldn't pick up a new title because it feels like such a slog. But also these types of games rely heavily on dialogue, and I don't want to spend hours reading a game, I want to play a game.

I feel the same about 2D sidescrollers. They can't really excite me anymore, because I've been playing them for 30 years.

This is a me problem though. I'm not saying they are bad games. Just not for me and that's fine.

I like that turn based I can play for a second or for hours or anything in between especially with my steam deck where I can sleep it real easy and its easy to pick up and put down.
