When I chat with my game master, I was always confused because every time I talked about the game type, they always used English abbreviation instead of the long Chinese full name, such as RPG, ACTh, etc. The editor knows that there must be many friends who are the same confusion as me and cannot understand what these letters mean. In order to let more people understand the type of game, I specially made a summary of the mainstream game types.
1. RPG= Role-playing Game: Role-playing Game
Players play one or several characters in the game, with a complete storyline. RPG games emphasize more on plot development and personal experience, while AVG emphasizes more on the process of puzzle discussion. It should be noted that the element that can be called an RPG game is that characters will grow with the game and will be reflected numerical, such as "Final Fantasy".
2. MMORPG=Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game: The difference between large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game
and stand-alone games and other small, multi-player role-playing games is that MMORPG has a continuous virtual world. After the player leaves the game, this virtual world continues to exist in the host server provided by online game operators and continues to evolve. Such as "Against the Cold" and "Sword Spirit".
3. ACT= Action Game: Action Game
Players control the game characters to eliminate enemies with various weapons to pass the level. The control of the characters' actions in the game emphasizes that the game should be stronger than other elements. Operation is often the first element of the ACT game, which emphasizes the player's reaction ability and the coordination of hands and eyes. Such as "Devil May Cry 5".
4. AVG= Adventure Game: Adventure Game
This type of game emphasizes the discovery of game story clues and story plot. Unlike RPG, the characteristic of AVG is that the plot often appears in the form of completing a task or solving certain puzzles, and the importance of puzzles is deliberately emphasized during the game, making it a "activity" that specifically tests the player's brain. Such as the "Plague Legend" series, the "Tomb Raider" series, etc.
5. SLG= Strategy Game: Simulation/Strategy Game
Players use strategies to compete with computers or other players to achieve various forms of victory, or unify the country or open up alien colonies. It can be divided into turn-based and real-time systems. Such as " The Legend of the Three Kingdoms ". Later, some media organized simulation operations, namely SIM (simulation) games, such as " Sims " and cultivation games, and also classified them under SLG.
6. RTS=Real-Time Strategy Game: Real-time strategy game
originally belonged to a branch of the strategy game SLG, but due to its rapid popularity in the world, it has slowly developed into a separate type, and its popularity even surpasses SLG (Note: There can be repeated between SLG). His representative works include the "Warcraft" series, the "Age of Empires" series, "Starcraft", etc.
7. FGT= Fighting Game: Fighting Game
The game where the player controls various characters to fight with characters controlled by the computer or another player. This type of game can't talk about any plot. At most, it has a simple scene setting or background display. The scenes, characters, controls, etc. are relatively single, but the operation is difficult, and it mainly relies on the players' quick judgment and micro-operation to win. However, because it caters to the players' desire for fighting that is difficult to achieve in reality, the process is exciting and explosive, making it unique charm, so it is popular all over the world and still occupies an important position, such as "The King of Fighters", "Street Fighters", "Dead or Life 6", etc.
8. STG= Shoting Game: Shooting Game
Shooting Game has obvious action game characteristics, and there is no pure shooting game, because shooting must go through an action method to present its "shooting".Therefore, no matter whether it is a gun or an airplane, any game that performs "shooting actions" can be called a shooting game. For example, in order to distinguish it from general action games, only games that emphasize the use of "shooting" methods can achieve goals will be called shooting games.
and shooting game is divided into two categories:
1.FPS=First Personal Shooting Game: First-person Shooting Game
FPS game is a branch evolved from the STG game and is a shooting game from the player's main perspective. Players no longer use virtual characters on the screen to play games like other game types, but instead experience the visual impact brought by the game from an immersive main perspective, which greatly enhances the initiative and reality of the game. Such as "CS", " Overwatch ", etc.
2.TPS=Third Person Shooting Game: Third Person Shooting Game
Third Person Shooting Game (Third Person Shooting, referred to as TPS for short). It is a type of shooting game. The difference from first-person shooting games is that in the first-person shooting game, the only view of the protagonist is displayed on the screen. The game characters controlled by the player in the third person are visible on the game screen, so the third-person shooting game emphasizes more on the sense of action. Such as "Practical Defense", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", etc.
9. PZL= Puzzle Game: Decryption and puzzle game
Puzzle's original meaning refers to the puzzle game used to cultivate children's intelligence in the past. It is extended to various interesting puzzle games. Generally speaking, it is suitable for leisure. The most classic one is the familiar " Tetris " and "Cutting the Rope".
10. RCG= Racing Game: Racing Game
. Simulating various racing games on the computer is usually performed in a competition scenario. It pays great attention to image sound effects technology, which is often a cutting-edge technology representing computer games. It is thrilling and exciting, with a strong sense of reality, and is deeply loved by car fans. Such as " Need for Speed ", "Horizon", etc.
1. SPT= Sports Game: Sports Game
simulates various competitive sports games on the computer. It has a variety of styles, high simulation, and is widely popular, such as the "FIFA" series, the "NBA2K" series, etc.
12. MSC=Music Game: Music Game
Game that cultivates players' musical sensitivity and enhances music perception. Accompanied by the wonderful music, some require players to dance gracefully, and some require players to exercise their fingers. For example, the familiar dance machine is a typical example. Such as "Jin Band" and "QQ Xuanwu ".
13. MOBA=Multiplayer Online Battle Arena: Action real-time strategy game
. The gameplay of such games is: in battle, the equipment is generally required to be purchased, and the players are usually divided into two teams. The two teams compete with each other in the scattered game map. Each player controls the selected role through an RTS-style interface. But unlike traditional hardcore RTS games such as StarCraft, this type of game usually does not need to operate organizational units such as building complexes, resources, training arms, etc. in RTS games. Players only control the roles they choose, such as " League of Legends ".
There are many types of games, and the classification is very complex. The classification mechanism of the game is not very perfect until today. We often see a game tag containing many game types. Among the existing game types, new and exclusive game types are constantly emerging. For example, "Pokemon" is a Pokemon type game, and the game classification is complex and extensive. What I am talking about here is just the most basic superficial.
