What is a CRPG?
2 comments

Video games that try to implement a D&D like experience.

Baldur's Gate 2 is the defining example.

Top down party based story focused games.

That's a subset of CRPGs, which simply stands (as the sibling notes) for "computer role-playing game". It's not the entirety of the genre by any means.
"computer role-playing game"
