Know Your Genres: Action Role-Playing Games - Xbox Wire

This week, we examine a subset of the role-playing game: the action-RPG. It’s difficult to specifically define, or rather delineate, the characteristics of the action-RPG versus a traditional RPG, but we can say a few things for certain. Action-RPGs put players in situations where they must make decisions in real time – there are no menus or tactical interfaces in-between their characters and them. Further, action-RPGs tend to emphasize combat over other aspects of role-playing, and they tend to focus on single-character, rather than party-based RPG mechanics. It is a fine line, however, and arguments will be made about games on the border – so let’s not stress. Instead, let’s talk about some of the classics that are roundly considered to be the best of the sub-genre, and get into its history while we do.
