Video game combat in which combat actions are performed in real-time, rather than through a turn-based structure.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.

Original concept for downloading the emulated back catalog from prior systems.
Action RPG (Action Role-Playing Game), also known as ARPG, refers to RPGs (role-playing games) that use direct, real-time, reflex-oriented, action combat systems, instead of the more abstract turn-based or menu-based battle systems.
Games released coinciding with new hardware.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
