What does an ideal cRPG look like to you? What game has come the closest to that idea?
I basically agree with this, if we're considering cRPGs retrospectively. For me, an excellent cRPG has the combat of a top tier tactics game combined with all the most interesting aspects of cRPGs like choice (in terms of narrative, party, solutions to problems, responses to encounters, etc) and an expansive and detailed universe that can be explored at my own pace. Leveling / improving gear and characters is obviously a part of this cRPG since we're talking about an RPG.the mechanical combat layer needs to be: isometric + turn based + squad based + hex based. then add worldbuilding that has breadth
Not even busty smokin hawt elf waifus?Anything that doesn't have elves.
Grimoire but with more unique enemy art, less anime, less spelling errors, a usable inventory, and the ability to unstack items.
Myself i'd probably like more:
Darklands historical(-ish) setting + expanded mechanics of travel/non-combat encounters/etc.
+ Battle Brothers combat system
+ [this last part is optional] a political plot of a crpg... that hasn't been made yet.
I spent more time trying to show the game that I solved the puzzles than figuring out the answers. Cryptic puzzles are great but the UI has to be consistent enough where it doesn't become part of the puzzle.I like my puzzles optional and/or less interconnected and roadblocking.
