Whether you connect with your opponent, how much damage you do, whether you avoid your opponent's attack, and how much damage you take should be based on numbers attached to your attributes, not simply on your chosen weapon and on how fast you click the mouse. Combat based at least partly on attribute-derived statistics.This refers to the accumulation of experience points, the ability to increase attributes, or other types of character improvement other than better inventories. Adventure games have inventories, but the items are meant to solve puzzles, so they don't count.

This means that you have to be able to find and carry things that aren't necessary to solve a puzzle, like swords and potions and such. Finally, after thinking it over, I decided to set the following rule: no matter who thinks the game is a CRPG, if it does not have at least two of the following three core elements, I can skip it: I have erred on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion-if someone reasonably authoritative thinks it's a CRPG, it will be on my list.ДЄ couple of times I have arrived at a game, played it for a few minutes, and rejected it as a CRPG immediately. After claiming that I was following a Wikipedia list for over a year, I have finally updated my 'rule' to reflect that the CRPG list comes from several sources. Before describing War in Middle Earth, I should probably justify its inclusion in this blog at all, because some of you have said it's not a CRPG, and indeed I don't think it is.
