Do you like role-playing-games but have a potato PC? Or perhaps you just simply like a good read and role playing. In any case, I have good news for you. There are many great text-based RPG games to play in 2022. This is the sub-genre you are look for! Moreover, I made a top 20 best text based RPG list for you!

HUGE OPEN WORLD RPG GAMES

Here is how text-based RPGs work. In these games, you find yourself in a fictional world. There aren’t many graphics describing it though, everything is in text. Anyway, as a player-reader you can make choices and these choices will shape your story. You can call it interactive fiction too if you will. They are basically a bridge between literature and gaming.

So, let’s get started, here is my top 21 best text based RPGs:

1. Tudor Intrigue

text based rpg

Do you like Game of Thrones? I do, especially the court intrigue parts of it. The Tudors is also amazing. It is old but gold. Anyway, why am I talking about these two specific TV series? Because Tudors Intrigue is basically text-based RPG version of these series.
