CRPG
Digital dungeon crawling
CRPG stands for computer role-playing game, distinguishing the genre from tabletop RPGs.
CRPGs typically feature character statistics, experience points, inventory management, and narrative choices.
The term often evokes classic isometric games like *Baldur's Gate* or *Fallout*, though usage varies: I've been on a CRPG kick lately.
Sometimes spelled cRPG.
