Black Desert Online is an MMORPG with strategy and sandbox elements.For example, these projects have character class systems, classic combat mechanics where you can command all actions of your hero, detailed character customization and a great immersion into the game universe. Even more, video games of this hybrid genre have the best features of RPG too. Usually, there is an opportunity to fight for lands or specific areas on the map, which provides valuable benefits and unique resources. Strategy RPG projects encourage players to cooperate, form guilds and gather up into alliances. Usually, these games feature sandbox building systems, which provides an opportunity to create complex structures, build fortresses and castles, and place material sources.
The gameplay of Strategy MMORPG is based on politics, player-driven economics and social-based cooperations. Still, some developers take the best features of all genres and combine them to create a radically new kind of video games, which is called Strategy MMORPG. At the same time, RPGs suggest gameplay for a specific character, improvement of the skills and direct battles with enemies, where you can control every action of your hero. The gameplay of SLGs is concentrated on resource management and systematic development of the economy of your kingdom. At first sight, it might seem impossible to combine the genre of strategy and RPG - they seem if not opposite, then at least weakly compatible.
