14 published games carry Steam's RPG genre tag; 14 of them also carry the “Indie” tag.
"RPG" on Steam is applied to everything from party-based tactical games and CRPGs to action games with a levelling system, so the label by itself does not tell you whether you will be reading dialogue trees or managing a build. Steam leaves the choice of genre to the developer or publisher of each store page.
This page lists the published games whose Steam genre field includes "RPG". Each game page shows all of that game's Steam genre labels together, so you can see which others — Action, Adventure, Strategy, Indie — sit next to it.
Counts on this page are computed at build time from the published data; the genre field itself is copied from Steam. See how this site is made.

Hades is Supergiant Games' roguelite dungeon crawler set in the Greek underworld, where Zagreus attempts to escape Tartarus while navigating his fraught relationship with his father Hades. Each run develops the narrative through conversations with Olympians, shades, and contractors, making the story progress through failure as much as success. Weapon variety and boon combinations from Olympian gods define each run's feel.

Hades II is the Early Access sequel by Supergiant Games, following Melinoë in the realm of Erebus with an expanded roster of weapons (10 vs. 6), new Olympian boon combinations, and a significantly different setting from the original.

A role-playing game where every enemy can be spared instead of killed, and the choice to do so changes dialogue, encounters, and the ending. The writing, music, and subversive take on RPG conventions are the reasons for its cultural impact.
