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!".

This reminded me of the last Tom Raider game. Just when you unlock the best skills and the combat starts being fun the game ends.

The roguelike formula can definitely open a new spin on an existing genre. My personal favourite is Against the Storm, a roguelike fantasy city-builder.

I am not sure I want more roguelike elements in my RPGs, I would prefer a nice solid expansion with well written characters and a sense of place. More often than not RPG expansions require high level characters and late game skills.

without reading the article, I feel this is what the new game+ modes like in Borderlands are for.

It's also a game loop decision - if your game has world-changing moments you either need a time travel mechanic or like FF7 remake - repayable chapters.

Most players usually want some kind if arena / horde mode too.
