Violence Town vs Other Browser RPGs
Violence Town is a turn-based 2D RPG that runs in the browser with local autosave (~1.1 MB, Canvas 2D). Its loop is explore hand-authored zones, fight with a radial action wheel, and continue from ftol:violencetown:save. 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 is a real-time-feeling top-down tile RPG (~3.8 MB) with fifteen CSV/JSON maps, equipment panels, and save key ftol:pixelrealmrpg:jsrpg_save. Violence Town is smaller (~1.1 MB vs ~3.8 MB), turn-based with a radial action wheel, and autosaves under ftol:violencetown:save. Pick Pixel Realm for larger map count and gear UI depth; pick Violence Town for tick combat and the action wheel on a lighter download.
vs Void Trader (space roguelike)
Void Trader is a real-time space trading roguelike (~50 KB, Canvas 2D) with permadeath and no localStorage at all. Violence Town is about twenty times larger (~1.1 MB vs ~50 KB) but adds town exploration, inventory, quests, and autosave continue. Pick Void Trader for a quick one-life space run; pick Violence Town when you want a saved RPG session in a hand-authored town.
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. Violence Town trades scope for zero friction: one ~1.1 MB load in a tab, no account, localStorage only on this device, and no service worker in this build.
