CreateRPG lets you build and play your very own role-playing game! BUILD: paint terrain, place people, enemies, chests, shops and gimmicks, connect multiple maps with entrances (walk into a village to enter the town map!), and wire up flags — bridges, locked doors, quests, and "defeat the boss to clear". PLAY: walk with the D-pad, fight turn-based battles, cast magic (MP), use items, equip gear, level up and shop for goods. Play the world you made. Cute pixel art and an intuitive editor make RPG creation fun for everyone.
