Role-playing games let you assume the role of a protagonist, customizing their abilities, equipment, and appearances. Through exploration, dialogue, and strategic combat, players navigate worlds, uncover lore, complete missions, and level up their characters.

Focusing on tactical decision-making, resource management, and long-term planning to achieve victory. Often involving elements like building, defending, and conquering within a structured set of rules and objectives.

Near infinitely replayable games that usually feature, random generation, perma-death, and brutal difficulty. 

A turn-based game mechanic is the opposite of a real-time game mechanic. In a Turn-By-Turn mechanic (synonym), each player has to wait for the other to have played, so that they can play, and so on. This way, each player has the time to think about their strategy. TBT games rely less on action than real-time games.
