ARPG
Hack and slash
ARPG stands for action role-playing game, a video game genre combining real-time combat with character progression systems like leveling, skill trees, and loot.
Unlike turn-based RPGs, ARPGs emphasize reflexes and timing alongside statistical character builds: I've been grinding this ARPG for better gear drops.
The genre includes titles like Diablo, Path of Exile, and Dark Souls.
