Role-playing game

A role-playing game, often shortened to RPG, is one in the video game and tabletop game house whose stories are likely about the player as the Hero and their party (the group they travel with), the Good Guys, as they go on adventures most typically in a fantasy setting. In the form of a video game, RPGs begin with the player either alone or with just one or two other members of their party all at level 1. To reach higher levels, the party must battle, often in a turn-based combat system, and defeat enemies to gain EXP, or experience points. Once enough experience points have been gathered, a party member will level up and have their stats improve. RPGs have the poor reputation as copy-and-paste games that are all contextually identical in terms of how they play with one of their greatest weaknesses being the slow and predictable turn-based combat system which requires little thinking power to win.
