Claudicus Quest vs Other Browser RPGs
Claudicus Quest is a turn-based medieval RPG that runs in the browser with local save (~132 KB total, ~105 KB game.js). Its loop is three tile maps (Brannford, Thornwood, Greymoor Crypt), menu combat, and class select at level 3. Here is how it compares with other games on this site and with installed alternatives.
vs Pixel Realm RPG (top-down tile RPG)
Pixel Realm RPG ships fifteen CSV/JSON maps at ~3.8 MB with equipment panels and save key ftol:pixelrealmrpg:jsrpg_save. Claudicus Quest is about 29 times smaller (~132 KB vs ~3.8 MB) with three focused maps and numbered combat menus. Pick Pixel Realm for map count and gear UI depth; pick Claudicus Quest for a lighter medieval quest on a tiny download.
vs Violence Town (turn-based town RPG)
Violence Town is a turn-based town RPG at ~1.1 MB with eight overworld zones, a radial action wheel, touch pathing, and autosave under ftol:violencetown:save. Claudicus Quest is about eight times smaller (~132 KB vs ~1.1 MB) with three maps and keyboard menu combat. Pick Violence Town for a larger sandbox with touch; pick Claudicus Quest when payload size matters most.
vs installed RPG apps
Native RPG apps often ship large campaigns, 3D art, cloud saves, and sometimes multiplayer, but they need a store download and often an account. Claudicus Quest trades scope for zero friction: one ~132 KB load in a tab, no account, localStorage only on this device, and no CDN at runtime.
