    I’ve always heard CRPG as a genre in reference to the more tactical, top-down RPGs, like NWN, Baulders Gate and the first 2 Fallout games. Whereas WRPGs refer to the more action-oriented games like Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, and Dark Souls(this one is especially relevant as it was also made in Japan)

        “Action-RPG” or ARPG is a moniker more closely associated with games like Diablo and Path of Exile, really.
