More About Turn-Based MMORPG
Roleplaying video games with turn-based combat are quite a rare thing because this type of battle system slows down the pace of the gameplay and breaks down the immersion. The developers are taking up a hardcore challenge by creating this kind of projects: they may ward off a massive amount of players, especially casuals, and make the gameplay too dull. However, some studios don't afraid to experiment. Usually, Turn-Based MMORPG projects also have many other features taken from strategy genre — for example, isometric graphics.
The main feature with computer games with turn-based combat is a concentration on strategic gameplay and battle tactics. You have to think over your abilities, actions and strategy not only before you involved in the competition, but also during the combat itself. All players have to understand the situation on the battlefield, predict the enemy's actions and change tactics in time, depending on the circumstances. Usually, the skills of your hero are automated and simplified: all you need to complete an action is to click a specific button. However, it's not making the gameplay easier: you still have to practice a lot and improve your abilities to surpass other players.
Major Turn-Based MMORPG usually much more hardcore than others. At the same time, browser RPGs with the same combat style are often the easiest of all kinds: your hero will fight automatically, and all you need is to decide on the opponent and prepare for battle.
