Not to be confused with Tabletop role-playing game.
Tactical role-playing games[1][2][3][4] (abbreviated TRPGs), also known as strategy role-playing games[5][6] and in Japan as simulation RPGs[lower-alpha 1] (both abbreviated SRPGs), are a video game genre that combines core elements of role-playing video games with those of tactical (turn-based or real-time) strategy video games. The formats of tactical RPGs are much like traditional tabletop role-playing games and strategy games in appearance, pacing, and rule structure. Likewise, early tabletop role-playing games are descended from skirmish wargames such as Chainmail, which were primarily concerned with combat.
