From my knowledge of what a game engine really is, there really wouldn't be an engine for a generic game. There's the Unreal engine for shooters (just an example), but you wouldn't use that to make an RPG.
I'm a student. If my statements seem too absolute, feel free to coat them with "In my opinion..." or "I believe...".
