Overview
Limb Targeting allows the player to target specific parts of the body to attack. The more diverse systems in games such as SD Snatcher, Vagrant Story and Fallout 3 allow for the targeting of arms, legs, and even very specific places such as the eyes on a character.
For when a game allows the player to disable limb based movement or attacks by removing a limb without killing the enemy, Strategic Dismemberment is the most relevant trope.
