The Role-Playing Game is one of the most hardcore genres in video games. Players build up their skills and customize their characters by putting their noses to the grindstone and killing bad guy after bad guy. RPGs immerse players in fantasy worlds they’re encouraged to explore with story-driven gameplay. Porting this experience to Google’s mobile platform has been a hit or miss experience with many games simply being old iPhone or console games, but if the last five months are any measure of what 2013 will be like for Android RPGs, then it’s shaping up to be a banner year.
