CRPG apparently translates to "Computer RPG"
I'm still not sure what it means
It’s games like the original baldur’s gate and stuff. I think a clear defining thing is that you have a zoomed out perspective and you click where to move
Did they have a leveling system, class system and virtual dice rolls (explicit or implicit)? If they did, then yes, they were CRPG-s.
So XCOM is a CRPG?
You can call it a Tactical RPG in some sense, although I can't remember more Role-Playing components than any other strategy have.
Why even ask this?
