User:Marasmusine/List of combat-oriented role-playing games

Combat-oriented computer RPGs are games of a specific sub-genre of hack and slash action role-playing games as exemplified by Diablo; in fact many games of this genre are described as diablo clones. They are generally home computer games rather than console, as they commonly employ a mouse point-and-click control system.

Key features include:
 * Features commonly associated with RPGs (stats, items etc)
 * Player control of a single character (although often in a multiplayer team)
 * In-game situations being resolved by combat rather than puzzle-solving or dialogue
 * Almost continuous combat action
 * Plot and dialogue being kept to a minimum

This genre can be considered a cross-over between the RPG and fighting game genres.
