A few days after we presented the TOP 5 Action Games for Mac, we came with another leaderboard, this time for the RPG genre. Games from this category are probably the between the most loved ones because of the intense gameplay and storyline. We have 51 RPG Mac Games presented here (at the moment when this article was written). From that collection we now select the most downloaded by macOS computer owners. There are some unexpected titles included so go ahead and check the rankings! Maybe you will also find a game to download and play on your MacBook/iMac.
Guessing it’ll never happen though. Man my Stream library went from like 200 Mac games to 30 😞 At least Blizzard updates their games, even if they won’t release Overwatch, and id’s are open source and 64-bit for ages. Otherwise leaning into Crossover 19 but still clunky and brittle compared to real Mac versions. Find Role Playing games for macOS like Dweller's Empty Path, Scarlet Hollow: Episode 1, The Morality Hunt, Monster Sanctuary, The Black Beast on itch.io, the indie game hosting marketplace.
1. Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Downloads: 91.912
Version: FULL & Activated
SysReq: OS X: 10.10, 2 GB Ram, 1 GB Video Card, 50 GB Hdd
Price: FREE
We begin the top 5 RPG Mac Games with a game that doesn’t need any description: Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This game has beaten many records since its release, back in 2017. Almost all critics have rated it with maximum possible, therefore we can say that Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Mac was a really necessary. Not long after its release we have managed to open the macOS port for it and since the it achieved almost 92.000 downloads. Because of this big number it is set on the first place in our TOP.
If you didn’t played this game already, feel free to download it from the button below. You can also take a look at our demonstration gameplay on a Mac OS computer.
2. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Downloads: 88.102
Version: FULL & Activated
SysReq: OS X: 10.9, 2 GB Ram, 512 Mb Video Card, 11 GB Hdd
Price: FREE
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.
3. Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
Downloads: 32.991
Version: FULL & Activated
SysReq: OS X: 10.11, 6 GB Ram, 1 GB Video Card, 76 GB Hdd
Price: FREE
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.
4. Monster: Hunter World
Downloads: 25.833
Version: FULL & Activated
SysReq: OS X: 10.11, 4 GB Ram, 1.5 GB Video Card, 49 GB Hdd
Price: FREE
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.
If you are surprised by the position of this game in our top, download it from the button below. Maybe after you play it you will discover why it has been downloaded almost 26.000 times.
5. Fallout 4
Downloads: 20.971
Version: FULL & Activated
SysReq: OS X: 10.10, 8 GB Ram, 2 GB Video Card, 30 GB Hdd
Price: FREE
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.
If you want to give it a try, you can get it from the button below. The game is updated with all the post-released DLCs included. Enjoy!

10 best RPGs for Mac
Gaming on Mac isn’t typical. However, it is entirely possible. You likely won’t find the very latest and greatest games on Mac. The platform does have some classics available, though. Most of the games on Steam for Mac are also frequently on sale. Those looking for an RPG adventure can definitely find good ones. Here are the best RPGs for Mac!

Price: $9.99-$29.98
The Avadon trilogy is one of the most popular Mac RPGs. The games share a variety of similar elements. Players start the game by choosing a class. All three games have the same four classes. The second and third game added a fifth class. You’ll recruit two other characters and then go on a bunch of quests. We recommend players start with the first one because the story lines are continuous between the three titles. The graphics are old school. That may be a turn off for those who want only the very best graphics. The games are legitimately good, though. Additionally, the games are frequently on sale. When you get to the third game, you should probably just get the Deluxe Edition so you can have all of the goodies that came with the game.
Price: $14.99
Bastion has been around for a long time, but it’s still one of the more unique RPGs. You play as the hero and it’s your job to put the world back together again. The game features colorful graphics, an isometric world, and various types of levels. You’ll explore environments created by the Calamity and then bring your stuff back to Bastion to buy and upgrade various things. The story line is pretty decent, but the real story is the game play. Watching the world come up to meet your feet as you walk is entertaining. The game typically goes for around $14.99. At the time of this writing, it was on sale for $2.99 (or $4.99 for the Soundtrack Edition).
Price: $14.99
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a top-down dungeon crawler. The premise is a little goofy and a little scary. You’ll play as Isaac. Your job is to explore your mother’s basement and fight the evil within. There are a total of 11 playable characters. It has a few unique elements. It boasts a permanent death system. That means if your character dies once, you start over from the very beginning. Levels generate randomly and change with each play-through. There is also an expansion with more items, monsters, and other content. You can pick up the base game for $14.99 (on sale for $7.49 usually). You can also get the Complete Bundle for $35.97, currently on sale for $21.57 (40% off).
Price: $39.99
Borderlands 2 is a masterpiece and a classic. It’s a gun-toting RPG with an immersive story line, colorful graphics, and tons of stuff to do. You start by selecting one of the character classes. Players then embark on a adventure across an open world. Your ultimate goal is to prevent the release of The Warrior. It has a memorable cast of characters, a unique combat system, and a lot more. Characters will unlock special abilities and weapons along the way. It also combines shooter mechanics with RPG mechanics long before modern games like Destiny did it. The price is fairly expensive for an older game at $39.99. However, that is the Game of the Year edition and it’s also frequently on sale.
Price: $39.99
Divinity: Original Sin began life as a Kickstarter project. Now, it’s one of the best RPGs on any platform, not just Mac. It uses turn-based mechanics. Characters will have the time to choose the moves they want to make. It also features randomized gear drops, split-screen multiplayer, and more. It has a deeper storyline than most. Your goal is to stop those who use a special kind of magic called Sourcerers. There are two protagonists that the player has to control. When playing multiplayer, each person controls one of the two characters. The Enhanced Edition runs for around $39.99. There is also the Collector’s Edition that includes two copies of the game (for sharing with a friend) and additional content. It usually runs for around $69.99 when it’s not on sale.
Here are some of the best RPGs for other platforms!
Price: $23.99
Legend of Grimrock 2 is a good looking game. It’s a dungeon crawler at heart. Players will explore dungeons, solve puzzles, and try to find various treasures and secret chambers hidden within. You’ll play in the first person perspective. It also boasts real-time combat, various spells, and even a potion crafting mechanic. One of the best parts of this game is the Dungeon Editor. You can create your own dungeons, fill them with treasures, traps, and monsters, and then challenge other players to make it through. It even supports custom graphics and audio. You can pay $23.99 for the base game. There is also a two-game bundle for $29.99. It’ll give you both the first and second Legend of Grimrock games.
Best Rpg Games For Mac 2019
Price: $29.99-$39.99
Pillars of Eternity is one of the newer RPGs on the list. It’s also one of the most unique. It doesn’t reward you for killing bad guys. You only obtain rewards for completing quests and discovering new areas. Thus, playing a passive game grants the player with just as many rewards as violence does. Additionally, it uses a fun, real-time combat system with a pause function in case you go the violent route. The game has a story line, although it isn’t terribly long. The main fun in this game comes from character creation, leveling up, and exploring the world. The base game goes for $29.99 while the Definitive Edition is $39.99.
Price: $14.99
Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a rare tactical RPG. It utilizes the old school method of performing combat on a checkerboard-style layout. The game world incorporates both steampunk and high fantasy elements. You’ll have various machines running around, advanced technology, and then also elves and trolls. It features a branching story line that the developers say takes about 20 hours to finish. It usually takes a bit longer than that. It’s a little dry and a bit slow. However, you’ll definitely get what you pay for. The base game goes for a very reasonable $14.99. There is also a bundle that goes for $69.95 that includes three total Shadowrun games.
Price: $19.99
Torchlight II is probably the best classic-style RPG on the list. It features action RPG combat mechanics. You’ll be running around slaying all kinds of bad guys. The character progression is fairly standard. Loot drops are as well. That isn’t to say the game doesn’t have some fun features. The dungeons randomly generate similar to Diablo II. Players can choose one of four character classes and there is co-op multiplayer. The multiplayer supports up to six people. It also works over a LAN or Internet connection. The second game takes place after the first game. You don’t necessarily have to play the first one to enjoy the second one, though. The game will run you $19.99. The first game in the series goes for $14.99.
Price: $14.99
Wizardry is one of the oldest RPG franchises out there. The franchise began with the release of the first game back in 1981. The final three games in the series combine together to form a trilogy. Each game has multiple endings. Wizardry 7 and 8 have multiple beginnings depending on the endings of the prior games. It’s delightful, really. You don’t see that level of cross-game consequences very often. All three titles are first-person perspective RPGs. They also use a complicated range of stats that determine a variety of different things. The games feel the best when you play all three in order, but it's not necessary. Steam has a bundle where you can get all three games for $14.99.
