This game is definitely one that must be included in any top related to RPG Mac Games. It is pretty close to become the leader, with around 88.000 downloads, therefore it’s set on the 2nd position. Words can’t describe this game as it really deserves. This game was the most played game on Steam in 2012, with (ATTENTION): 5 million player logged in at the same time. That’s a HUGE record, unbeaten until now (almost 7 years passed). Skyrim for Mac works perfect and because of the periodical DLCs and mods released it doesn’t lose its players. Currently it’s on 2nd place in our Top RPG Games for Mac, but we have a feeling that it will become no. 1 soon.
There are very few chances that you didn’t played this game already on your Mac… although if you didn’t, download it now from below and give it a try. We guarantee that you will love it.

We were a little surprised to see that this game is on the 3rd place in our RPG Mac Games ranking. Definitely not because it’s not a good game, but because it doesn’t match the viral games pattern. It has pretty high system requirements and it also has a very big size (76 GB). Although, if the players have downloaded this game almost 33.000 times, IN JUST 1 YEAR, it must have something special. Middle-Earth Shadow of War for Mac has been presented in October 2017 and it attracted much visitors even from the first day. Now it’s included in our TOP and you can download it from below to see why the players love it so much.

Another game which climbed very fast it’s Monster: Hunter World. Present in February 2018, it already reached the 4th position in the most downloaded RPG Mac Games. Considering that this article is written on September 18, it’s pretty impressive that Monster Hunter World for Mac has surpassed older and bigger titles. The tastes of our players are unquestionable, therefore we are proud that we could present such a loved game.

We finish this top RPG Mac Games with another surprising title… a bad surprise we can say. Fallout 4 is just on the 5th place and it can even drop out from this top. That’s a shame for such a big game, but what can we say… the stats are not lying. Fallout 4 for Mac has been downloaded around 21.000 times, in almost 3 years. We are a little disappointed because the macOS players don’t know what they lose. This game is a true RPG for Mac, with a strong storyline and a very nice gameplay. It won the Game of the Year award alongside with RPG of the Year.

Best Low Acid Coffees That Won’t Upse…
If you’re a Mac gamer and a fan of Role Playing Games (RPGs), you’ve never been at a loss for AAA titles.
Even during the dark days of the late 1990s/early 2000s, when we wondered whether gaming on the Mac would survive, top tier RPGs continued to be released on our favorite platform.
Thankfully those dark days are long gone, but the pedigree of the best Rpg Games for Mac has continued unabated:

Of all game genres, Mac RPG games arguably provide the greatest embarrassment of riches, so much so that picking a top 10 is sure to leave some great games out in the cold. That said, we’re going to give it a shot (with a little cheating), and if we left your favorite RPG off our list, let us know in the comments.
Let’s face it, when I say Role Playing Game you think Dungeons & Dragons, right? And there’s some truth to that, as many of the games on this list are in that fantasy, medieval, dungeon crawling, monster fighting genre. The following are our favorites, and as you see, even within that category, there is plenty of variety.
Pillars of EternityLink
Pillars of Eternity (PoE) was one of the first high-end RPGs to get funded on Kickstarter (raising close to $4 million). While a little late to release, PoE delivered on its promise of a return to old-fashioned RPG for Mac gamers. Featuring an almost ridiculous amount of customizability for your character, including a large number of classes and races, PoE features a large (though not completely open) world to explore, an engaging story, multiple side quests, and a real-time with pause combat system.
As with most RPGs in this category, the story is a variation of good vs. evil; you play good, gathering your party (some have even managed to create a party just made up of polar bears) and going on your quest to defeat evil and return good and light to the world. With a deep main quest and myriad side quests to choose from or ignore, PoE offers some of the longest play time and greatest replayability in the genre.
PoE requires a fairly modern and powerful machine thanks to its higher-end graphics:
⚠️️ Requires a recent Mac with average specs.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.6.6, 2.53 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM, 14 GB HD space, Radeon HD 6750M or NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 512 MB of Video Memory.
The Witcher 2Link
As the title indicates, The Witcher 2 is another sequel and, like several others in this list, is considered one of the best RPGs of modern times.
While earning its Mature rating for various reasons including nudity, The Witcher 2 also manages to play like a classic fantasy RPG. As in the original, you play as The Witcher Geralt of Rivia, and the game features a solid story continuing from the events of the original, interesting characters, and notably good voice acting and graphics. Plus, it features combat mechanics far better than the original. The Witcher 2 will keep you as gripped as the original, and might even make you forget that the Mac has not (yet?) received a port of The Witcher 3.
Thanks to its 2012 release date, The Witcher 2 is playable on a variety of moderately powerful Mac systems, but you will need something with a dedicated graphics card, Intel integrated chipsets are not supported:
⚠️️ Requires a recent Mac with average specs.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.7.5, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 25 GB HD space, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512MB, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB or better with 512 MB of Video Memory.
Divinity: Original SinLink
Divinity: Original Sin, a prequel to the popular Divine Divinity, is an open world RPG featuring turn-based combat, cooperative multiplayer, and the ability to interact and manipulate the world as you desire.
In Divinity: Original Sin you play as two (or one of two if you’re playing in cooperative multiplayer mode) Source Hunters, seeking out those who use the darkest of magics, the Sourcerers (nice, huh?). A multiple award winner and one of the best reviewed computers games of 2015, Divinity: Original Sin also wins points for its voiceovers, controller support (if you’re into that sort of thing), and, it bears repeating, the ability to do just about anything you can think of in the game, things that maybe even the developers didn’t anticipate.
While the game can be challenging to newcomers of the genre, it rewards those who stick with it and are willing to explore, experiment and take advantage of the whole world they have been given.
Rpg Games For Mac
Divinity: Original Sin requires a moderately powerful Mac with at least 10GB of free space:
⚠️️ Requires a recent Mac with average specs.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.9.5, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 10 GB HD space, Intel HD4000 or better.
Darkest DungeonLink
A classic dungeon crawler with some nice twists, Darkest Dungeon is also one of the newest games on this list, having been released in 2016.
A roguelike (think perma-death) game with turn-based combat, one of the unique elements of Darkest Dungeon is The Affliction System, where the characters in your party, in addition to suffering damage from enemies, will also suffer increasing levels of stress, paranoia and more as your quest continues, which will impact their ability to assist you in combat.
This leads to another fun and different feature, the need to rest and relax in between your battles; go into town, relax and level back up, then head back underground for more battles. Featuring a unique 2D hand-drawn style and a gothic atmosphere, Darkest Dungeon is one of the most unique looking and playing games on this list.
It’s also one of the more difficult games, so if you don’t like having your characters die and need replacing (remember, I did say perma-death) you might want to look elsewhere. But if you can take it, you’ll be rewarded with hours of gameplay and the satisfaction of defeating a truly difficult game.
Thanks to the 2D graphics, Darkest Dungeon is playable on most any Mac from the last several years:
✓ Any Mac will suffice, even an older one will do.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.9+, 2GB RAM, Open GL 3.2+ Compliant, 2 GB available space.
Diablo 3Link
Diablo wasn’t the first computer RPG, but is one of the longest running series and is the one many people think of when you mention RPGs, especially combat RPGs. And it’s from Blizzard, which means you can get your RPG fix the same day as Windows users. And though we waited 12 years for the third installment, when it came out there was pretty unanimous agreement that the wait was worth it.
Continuing the story told in the first two installments, Diablo 3 is a classic hack n’ slash RPG with all the elements you expect: dungeons, monsters, fierce bosses and a richer story than found in many RPGs. Plus, thanks to Blizzard’s “Starter Game” concept, it’s one of the few somewhat free RPG games for Mac you can try before you buy. If you’re looking to dip your toes into the waters, Diablo 3 is as good a place to start as any.
Even though it’s a few years old by now, Diablo 3 still requires a moderately powerful Mac to run.
⚠️️ Requires a recent Mac with average specs.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.8.5, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 MB RAM, 25 GB HD space, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT or ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro with 256 MB of Video Memory.
The Banner Saga 2Link
The second installment in the Banner Saga series (a third, concluding installment is already on the way), The Banner Saga has many of the classic RPG elements, but with some differences: rather than the classic European-esque, medieval setting, The Banner Saga takes place in a Scandinavian, Viking-inspired setting; also, like Darkest Dungeon, The Banner Saga uses beautiful, hand-drawn 2D graphics and animations; and finally, as with many of the best games on this list, The Banner Saga focuses as much on story and character as on combat, leading to a satisfying experience and true investment in the members your party.
Add in a beautiful soundtrack and The Banner Saga 2 is one of the most satisfying turn-based RPGs to be found on the Mac.
Thanks to the 2D graphics, The Banner Saga 2 can run on most Macs you’ll see around today:
✓ Any Mac will suffice, even an older one will do.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.7.5, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB Video RAM, 4 GB available space.
Honorable Mentions: There are so many in this genre, and if you’re a fan of some of the old series, the good news is that some have been updated to run on newer computers with improved graphics. Two of our favorites in this category that didn’t make our list are Planetscape: Torment Enhanced and Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced.
In recent years, there’s been a trend of games playing homage to the 8/16 bit days of gaming, both in graphics style and gameplay. The following are two of our favorite RPGs in that category.
UndertaleLink
Hearkening back to the days of simpler games and 8-bit graphics, Undertale features and old-fashioned look but a distinctly modern style.
You see, while you can fight your way through to victory, you can also win this game by being kind and sparing your enemies, and the way you play will affect how the game unfolds. Undertale takes place in a world where monsters were locked underground long ago after being defeated by humans. Your character stumbles through the magic barrier that leads to the Underground and the monsters and must find her way back up top.
With a minimalist, keyboard-based set of controls and an excellent soundtrack, Undertale quickly became a fan favorite and even the best Mac RPG of all time according to GameFAQs. So, if you like your RPGs games old-fashioned looking but with a modern sensibility, Undertale is for you.
Thanks to its retro graphics, Undertale can run on any Mac running MacOS:
✓ Any Mac will suffice, even an older one will do.
Minimum System Requirements: 2 GB RAM, 200 MB HD space.
Hyper Light DrifterLink
Hyper Light Drifter pays homage to the 16-bit graphic days, though with beautiful, hand-drawn graphics and animation as opposed to the blockier 8-bit graphics of Undertale (not a judgment, just an observation). Another Kickstarter-funded RPG, the Drifters (including you) of Hyper Light Drifter have access to long-forgotten technology while your character is also suffering from an unspecified disease for which you are seeking a cure. Another twist in the game is that instead of going around finding ammo to resupply your weapons, you gain ammo by hitting opponents with your energy sword.
With beautiful graphics and sound, and a focus on tactical combat against the increasingly more powerful monsters, Hyper Light Drifter has quickly become a favorite RPG game for those looking for a good looking, retro, combat-focused 2D RPG.
Thanks to its retro graphics style, Hyper Light Drifter is great for just about any Mac you’ll be trying to game on:
⚠️️ Requires a recent Mac with average specs.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.7 and above, 1.2 GHz processor,4 GB RAM , 512 MB video memory, 2 GB available space.
If you prefer your RPG futuristic instead of fantasy, there are options for you, including the two following games whose franchises are considered two of the best in the RPG field.
Star Wars: KOTOR 2Link
If you like your RPGs to be set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, boy have we got you covered.
The sequel to what many consider not just one of the best RPGs of all time but one of the best computer games of all time, Knights of the Old Republic II (KOTOR II) takes place, like the original, 4,000 years before the events of Episode I in the movie series. Also like the original, the sequel was very late coming to the Mac, following the Windows release by a cool ten years. That said, the game was remastered and brought to modern times last year. You can now enjoyed it with better graphics, sounds and an increased resolution.
Nonetheless, it remains, like the original, one of the best sci-fi RPG games you can find. Featuring a great story, interesting characters and pausable real-time combat, KOTOR II allows you to join the dark or the light side as you work to rebuild your connection to the Force and to find the remaining Jedi after they have been mostly wiped out by the Sith.
Despite being an older title, the game requires a relatively modern Mac running at least Mavericks (MacOS 10.9):
✓ Any Mac will suffice, even an older one will do.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.9.5, 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i3, 4 GB RAM, 10 GB HD space, NVIDIA Geforce 330M, ATI Radeon HD 3870, or Intel HD 3000 with 256 MB of Video Memory.
Wasteland 2Link
Perhaps you’re not a fan of the Star Wars universe but you are a fan of sci-fi RPG games.
What Are The Best Rpg Games For Pc
Wasteland 2 may just be for you. Yet another Kickstarter-funded RPG, it followed the original Wasteland by a mere 26 years. An isometric game featuring turn-based combat and set in a post-apocalyptic western United States, Wasteland 2’s strong points include customizability, large parties, decisions that really make a difference (one of my favorite things in an RPG), good dialog and obviously improved graphics over the original.
Set 15 years after the events of the original game, you again lead a party of Rangers in a post-nuclear world, attempting to provide some law and order to a world gone monster crazy. Wasteland 2 features plenty of violence and a Mature rating. If you prefer your RPG games futuristic instead of fantasy, Wasteland 2 is, without doubt, one of the best RPG for Mac you can find (and Wasteland 3 is coming for Mac also).
A relatively recent game, Wasteland 2 requires a fairly powerful Mac with a decent graphics card:
⚠️️ Requires a recent Mac with average specs.
Minimum System Requirements: MacOS 10.5, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM, 30 GB HD space, NVIDIA GeForce 300 Series or Radeon equivalent (512 MB).
Honorable Mention: Looking for a sci-fi RPG that still has that fantasy feel? Shadow Run: Hong Kong, the latest in this long-running series, may be for you.
Best Rpg For Mac
Hopefully, this list has shown you that RPG can mean a lot more than sword and sorcery, although there’s also plenty of that if you want it. And even within the “traditional” RPG style, there’s plenty of variety, from story-focused games to hack and slash action RPGs that allow you to kill monsters early and often. Whether you prefer a game focused on story and character or just want some action, there’s no shortage of excellent games for any level of gamer. Sci-fi or retro, 2D or 3D, the Mac has an RPG game for you. If you’re an RPG fan you’ve probably found several games on this list for you. But even if you’re not, this list probably has a game or two you should try.
And with our embarrassment of RPG riches on the Mac, we may very well have left your favorite off our list. I know that while our fearless leader Ric and I had very similar lists, there were a few differences. So let us know in the comments which of your favorite RPG game(s) we left off. I look forward to the discussion.
