Steam Page Tips for RPGs
RPG is the broadest label on Steam, which makes specificity your entire job: turn-based or action, party or solo, 10 hours or 100. Every ambiguity on an RPG page costs conversions because buyers can’t tell which RPG tradition you belong to.
The capsule
Party or protagonist in a setting that declares the subgenre — high fantasy, sci-fi, grimdark. RPG buyers filter by aesthetic tribe before anything else.
The short description hook
Sentence one: combat system + structure ("turn-based party RPG", "open-world action RPG"). Sentence two: the narrative or system hook. Length/scope hints ("a 40-hour campaign") genuinely help here.
Screenshots that convert
Combat with UI, a dialogue/choice moment, character progression screen, the world map. RPG buyers want the whole meal shown: fighting, talking, building, exploring.
The mistake to avoid
Leading with lore instead of systems. Nobody buys an RPG for the proper nouns of a world they haven’t met — hook with what the player does.
Common Steam tags for RPGs
A starting set — cross-check against your closest comparables and keep the tags that describe what your game actually is.
