Why play it

The RPG is a 2025 Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Indie game rated 8.7/10 from 815 ratings, with a main story of about 6h, available on PC (Microsoft Windows).

Minimalistic Skyrim + West of Loathing + Supraland. An RPG-lite adventure with intentionally twisted traditional role-playing games aspects, where your choices do matter.

Story and worldbuilding

You're stuck on an Adventure Island. There's a local attraction - the Dungeon, where you can raid, explore, loot, gain experience and level up. Just buy an adventurer's ticket, pass a turnstile, enter the elevator and choose the floor. The workers of the Island's administration make sure that traps are working, torches are lit and monsters are healed after raids. At the first glance, everything seems PERFECT for an aspiring adventurer, so why leave? Turns out that everything is not as it seems. There's a dark, dirty secret that the Cool King is hiding. Which is not cool. Monsters are tired of the constant respawn loop, their lives are like a groundhog day. But the main monster, the Glitchy Dragon, went out of control and broke the game's rules in order to find the right person for his (in)genius plan. Maybe it's you? It's up to you to decide!

The RPG is more than just a collection of jokes at the genre’s expense. It’s a clever, sometimes brutally challenging, and above all, sincere adventure game. It’s a must-play for RPG veterans who are tired of fishing minigames and endlessly sorting through junk. If you’re looking for a game that will entertain you, make you think about your own role in game worlds, and keep you from falling asleep over stats tables, The RPG is exactly what you need—simplified, yet with maximum depth. It’s the ultimate title that knows it’s a game.

Not flawless, but consistently entertaining, and absolutely worth checking out if you love RPGs, parodies, or just want something a little offbeat.

I enjoyed The RPG, but I won't be coming back to it. It has some good moments and jokes and I enjoyed the gameplay well enough, but its glitches and game design issues make it a slog to play.

The RPG attempts to deliver a satirical role-playing experience that mocks classic RPGs, featuring a random world and simple gameplay. While certain moments can be amusing in their humor and absurdity, the lack of a story, the simplicity of combat, and the weak visual design make it a limited experience. The game is aimed at those seeking a lighthearted and comedic experience, but it is far removed from any sense of seriousness or depth.
