  • create my own action RPG using a modding interface
  • play a single-player RPG without multiplayer requirements
  • use an open-source game engine to build a 2D RPG mod
  • find a lightweight cross-platform RPG that runs offline

When to choose

  • you want a free, moddable, single-player Diablo-style action RPG
