The online gaming industry is vast, and it is often hard to distinguish between the different types of genres out there. Here is a list of 7 game genres that are popular around the world.
Real-Time Strategy Games
Real-time strategy games can be categorized into real-time strategy (RTS) and turn-based strategy (TBS). Some of the most popular real-time strategy games are StarCraft and Age of Empires, and Red Alert. These games are still very popular among RTS and TBS gamers.
First Person Shooter (FPS) Games
This genre focuses on weapon-based combat from a first-person perspective. The player moves around in a virtual world where they experience all the action through the eyes of their virtual character. Friends and teams across the world can compete, and the player or team that survives the game claims victory. Call of Duty is a well-known FPS game.
Role-Playing Games
Role-playing games can be enjoyed online or offline. The premise of these games normally revolves around a fictional character that a player controls. The character can go on a quest in a virtual world. There are various styles of the genre, with strategy and adventure RPGs being the most popular online.
Adventure Games
This genre normally features a vast storyline, excellent graphics, and non-stop action. These games can take gamers on a series of adventures. Adventure games may include Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda. The genre has evolved into a wide range of thematic games that can be played both offline and online.
Action Games
Action games relate to FPS games because they challenge players’ reaction time and hand-eye coordination. There are a diverse number of action games that people engage in, with the likes of Super Mario, Mutant Mudds, and Arcade games.
Sports Games
Sports games can simulate physical or fantasy sports. These types of games have been around since the beginning of gaming culture. These games can be enjoyed in a multiplayer format with other players, or the opposing team can be controlled by artificial intelligence (AI).
Battle Royale Games
The Battle Royale genre is one of the latest additions to the gaming world. This genre is exclusively an online multiplayer video game that works on a last-man-standing principle where players need to focus on survival, exploration, and scavenging for elements. Fortnite generated about 1 billion dollars in 2017 from in-app purchases alone.
Online games are enjoyed and celebrated by people across the world. Game developers and designers are always looking at new and innovative ways to appeal to fans who look out for games in their respective genres.
