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.
A board game is a game played on a mostly-static surface using markers or chits to indicate player progress. Many video game board games are based on tabletop games (Catan, Monopoly), but some, like Mario Party and Culdcept, are original designs that use board game design as a starting point.
The turn-based battle system used in Final Fantasy X.
Digimon are the digital monsters that populate the Digital World. They can be captured, trained, and digivolved into stronger forms.
The engine that came to be known as the "Gold Box" engine was used to develop a series of party-based roleplaying games in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The engine's name comes from the gold boxes that most of these games were packaged in, and games in the series are often referred to as "Gold Box" games.
Grid-based movement limits players, and other entities in a game, to moving through the game world in increments of whole squares on a grid. It has been a common staple of turn-based strategy games since the earliest board games of antiquity. It was also used by early RPGs.
Hotseat multiplayer mode allows multiple people to play the same game on one system. This generally only applies to turn based games such as Civilization IV or Advanced Wars.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Combat that takes place in real time, but that can be paused to give commands to certain characters.
Pokémon are creatures that inhabit the Pokémon universe and can be captured and trained for battle.
Main characters in games who hold leadership positions for a nation, world or planet.
Video game combat in which combat actions are performed in real-time, rather than through a turn-based structure.
A mode found in certain Turn-Based Strategy games where all the players take their turns at the same time instead of in a sequence.
A private extracurricular club at Gekkoukan High School. Its members are individuals with the "potential," the ability to keep their consciousness during the Dark Hour, and call forth their Persona. Shuji Ikutsuki acts as their sponsor.
Why go it alone when you can roll with a team? Squad Tactics let you issue commands to a whole crew of A.I controlled squad mates, who can(among other things) plant bombs, fire at specific targets, take cover, and talk smack.
Time Stopping is the ability to stop the flow of time, stopping all movement from everyone but the person who used the ability.
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.
You think that single peasant, waving his scythe, is by himself? Think again: he just REPRESENTS what is likely a throng of bloodthirsty farmer types.
