I'll throw my hat in with a few bumps from time to time, hopefully, but for now, I'll recommend a great offline Rpg i've been playing recently!
Tower of Fortune 3 is another in a line of Casino-style Rpg games, where you travel through a tower, running into various characters, descovering secrets, finding equipment, solving quests, and getting smashed at the tavern, all while interacting with most situations with a three point slot that shows up during them.
It's actually a really fun and engaging way to do it, because while it does have elements of randomness, it's a heck of a lot easier to use timing to reduce your risks then you'd think, and you can spend gold to reroll during a bad result if you think you can do better in a second shot.
Combat is also enhanced with this kind of system, with enemy attacks being just as likely to be rolled and your own various options, so being cautious helps. You also have two other mechanics to be mindful of in combat, Rage and guaranteed attacks. Both you and your enemy have bars under the health bar, you have a rage bar that fills up when you take or deal damage, among other things, and when it's filled, you transform into a terrible demon, who can only mercilessly attack, and deals ridiculous damage on top of that! Enemies get blips on their bar every turn, and if it fills up they do an attack before it depletes, giving you additional pressure to be mindful of.
Oh, and another thing, gold "rules everything around" you in this game. You buy items, you reroll, you pay for a pittance for your time at the tavern, it's important. And luckily, quite easy to accrue and keep if you're smart, either in fighting random encounters as you traverse the tower, revisiting areas that provide you useful stuff, like the Burning stake every morning in the prison, and even at the tavern, where you can get drunk enough to do some dancing, and with careful abservation, get 600+ gold every time!
The last and most important thing to elaborate on is the exploration. It is fantastic! There are so many different NPCs you can interact with, either in random encounters or in various places in the tower. You have multiple quests and storylines throughout the tower you can complete, many items that provide help, ranging from the always helpful Rope to sleeping and honesty potions! And there are tons of interesting, often dangerous situations. It's got that Western RPG spirit you find in games like Baldur's gate, and I love it for it.
Overall, it's a really fun rpg with great progression, interesting events and mysteries, and quite unique game mechanics. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!
(One last hint, the game doesn't save until you exit the tower or the tavern and are at that "'main menu" overlook screen, so save-scumming bad results or risky ventures are allowed and encouraged. At least by me!)
