Characters either begin with multiple outfits, unlock them through play, or purchase them as in-game items. These costumes are sometimes integral to play.
Birdmen are large birds that can talk or half-bird half-man creatures. Are often depicted as wise, in spite of having bird brains.
Boss battles that require defeating or eliminating the hands of the boss. They are the focus point of the battle and typically the source of the attacks against the player. The hands are generally the size of the protagonist, if not larger, and often seen floating around without arms.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
The ability to dodge an attack, making the player untouchable for a brief period.
A dodge move that also propels the character in some direction, like a standard jump would. This can be effective not only for evading attacks and repositioning during combat, but also to get past traps or simply to move through an area faster.
This concept is for games where at least one of the main characters is female.
Floating Islands are land masses (anywhere from island size to continental size) that float either by the use of magic or some other force.
A term that can be used to refer to RPGs that focus more on the action, or brawler action games which focus on hack & slash gameplay.
Players or enemies whip their hair back and forth to do damage to their opponents.
In some action oriented videogames, the player is able to launch enemies into the air, and can sometimes proceed with follow-up attacks.
Sometimes one playable character just isn't enough.
Third-party developers and publishers occasionally engage in the practice of releasing a title or piece of DLC on only one platform for any number of reasons. Sometimes these are permanent while others are only platform exclusive for a certain window of time.
A sequel (also called a follow-up) is a game that carries forward the gameplay concepts, and often the story, of a previous game to which it is officially linked.
Female characters who are designed with highly idealized figures and proportions, outfits that are revealing and/or form-fitting, and prone to ending up in completely over-the-top poses designed to show off their bodies.
The 9th annual The Game Awards celebrating the best video games of 2021.
The player character is seen at a distance from a number of different possible perspective angles. There is generally a movable camera but it can also be in a fixed position. It most commonly refers to a viewpoint behind the player character.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
Present in Super Mario Galaxy and Bayonetta. Generally the ability to walk upside down, on the ceiling, on on walls. Having magnetic boots can accomplish this.
Witches are women who can perform magic. There can be good witches and bad witches.
