More about Indie RPG Games

Indie RPG Games usually feature simplified graphics; however, the wide variety of available stylistics allows the developers to create unique detailed worlds without using high-resolution textures. These games often provide the top-down view for the players, and in some cases, you are offered a few scripted scenes that are tied to the main storyline.

Most of the standard role-playing aspects are there for the players, and you may customize your abilities and equipment. In some of the games, you may even create a custom character along with choosing a set of starting skills. The players may explore the world, fight against various creatures, level up to increase characteristics and obtain better gear to increase the power of the characters. In most cases, you may tweak the abilities using a skill tree which allows creating a unique playstyle.

Indie RPG Games often allow the players to experiment with various in-game mechanics, and that makes many usually unavailable interactions possible. The games fit both casual and hardcore players because the basic mechanics are simple; however, being good at these games require the players to practice a lot and learn most of the content and how to complete it in the most efficient ways.
