It was developed in Poland, which was not only east of the iron curtain, but is also currently in eastern Europe

Which makes it an eastern RPG (albeit not a Japanese RPG)

If you keep going west you'll get to Japan. Therefore it's a western game.

Is eastern RPG even a thing? I mean it's definitely not a Japanese RPG so not sure what else to label it as.

wrpg was never a term based on Cold War divisions, its meant to be a contrast to jrpg. Originally they were called Computer RPGs but that term fell out of use because they started showing up on consoles more and more.

Its more a genre thing than a location: for example, Japan has put out a bunch of wizardry games from various devs like atlus that are wholly wrpgs

A lot of Poles get upset when you say Poland is Eastern Europe. They'll stress to you that they are CENTRAL Europe lol

So clearly this is a Central RPG. But in all seriousness, ultimate reaver pretty much nailed it on the head. It's just a stylistic thing more than regional thing

Yeah wrpg and jrpg have nothing to do with where they are developed, it's just the genre and style of the game named after where the style originated. There are quite of few wrpgs developed in Japan and jrpgs developed in western countries.

I always associated CRPG/WRPG with games like Baldur's Gate and Fallout, distinguished from action RPGs like Torchlight or Diablo.

Witcher is a CRPG (Communist-bloc RPG)

Dark Souls is a JRPG
