Quests that aren't necessary for game completion. They typically offer side-stories or specific rewards.
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
The recording of data related to player performance or progress in a game. This feature is commonly found in RPGs or competitive multiplayer games. It does not include statistics in sports games, unless related to player performance.
Subtitled Silence is when a character remains silent in a section of dialogue and a subtitle box appears usually having an ellipsis (...) or nothing at all. Most common in J-RPGs and dating sims. The character can also make a small moan or grunt.
An organized series of matches, ending with one victor.
A tragic hero is a protagonist who makes several mistakes to fall from glory, or is affected by tragedy and seeks revenge or redemption.
Turn-based games divide game actions into distinct parts, called turns. This gives the player time to strategically choose actions as the battle or events unfold.
Bosses that are designed to not be beaten; however, sometimes these bosses can finally be beaten at a later point in the game.
Unexpectedly changing from one character to another during the plot.
After overcoming the intense trials and troubles of the quest, the hero reaches the final encounter with the antagonist and defeats him easily. Whether this is for cinematic value, an example of the characters grown power or some metaphor for the weakness of evil, this boss acts as a "victory lap" at the end of a game.
Voice Acting is the art of providing voices for characters in games, television shows, films, radio programs, and other forms of media.
