The Indie RPG genre is booming. More and more developers are seeking to rekindle the games of their youth and either replicate or build-upon the experiences that they had in their own early years.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Video games and how we talk about them is always changing, but one genre which has remained relatively consistent in how we discuss them is the humble RPG. While, in the early 90s, an RPG was a game where players specifically took on the role of, and development of, a hero, over time the levelling and experience-based systems have spread further into other genres. Theoretically, the Zelda games shifted from puzzle-solving and exploration-focused adventure genre into the RPG one early in their life \u2014 and that causes a little confusion.<\/p>\n

But, when we talk about RPGs now we tend to be discussing games where the main character can level-up and improve as the game continues, or where enemies receive numerals of damage, each worked out by math which churns away in the background.<\/p>\n

Over the next collection of pages we are going to list off our favourite Indie RPGs on PC \u2014 a very tricky job, considering how loose-fitting the genre is. If you think we’ve missed something off then leave a comment and we’ll make sure to revisit.

Dungeons of Dredmor<\/h2>\n

The dungeon-diving roguelike genre is almost certainly at one extreme of the RPG genre – and there’s easily enough of them that we could write a whole different list. But, we whittled the entire genre down to one, standout game among them, and that is Gaslight Games’ fantastic Dungeons of Dredmor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Video games are, for the most part, utterly ridiculous, and the more you think about it the more that becomes apparent. The roguelike-rpg is this especially so because it operates on loose frameworks, with procedural level design taking over the rest. It makes perfect sense then that somebody makes a game populated with ridiculous things, silly enemies to fight, odd items and equipment to use, and a character-class designer that exists outside of any previously seen framework.<\/p>\n

Dungeons of Dredmor<\/em> takes a very tough, grindy subgenre and pumps it full of colour and humour. It is a game where you can specialise in astrology, and defeat enemies by throwing baseballs at them. It’s dumb fun done well.
