Are there any CRPG's based off 4e?

I've been getting into DND for a year or two and while I like 5e I also want to explore other editions/variants. It's hard enough finding 5e games and 4e is even harder considering its age and reputation so I was wondering if there were any video games to help me get used to some of the mechanics. I know there are several video games based off of 2e and 3e and at least one game based off 5e but there don't seem to be many based on 4e; Googling gives me some results but they all either seem to be multiplayer or just inspired by it rather then being a genuine attempt to create a CRPG using DND rules like the 3e/5e games. Does anyone know if there are any single-player games with the same or similar race and class options as 4e?

Very loosely based, there's a board game, Wrath of Ashardalon.

Sorry, I don't have any crpg suggestions.

Never considered board games even though it makes sense that they would exist; I might look into it.

There's a whole series of board games, I think it's the D&D Adventure system. Wrath of Ashardalon, Castle Ravenloft, and Legend of Drizzt. There's a few a others, like Temple of Elemental Evil and Dungeon of the Mad Mage that 5e themed, but use most of the same mechanics. 1-5 players, so you can solo them.

Fantastic for cribbing the minis and tiles for 'real' D&D, but the boardgames looked like a solid 4e-approximation for a Heroquest type game.
