Action games are a subgenre of video games that highlight physical tasks like physical coordination and strength. There are various games within this category, such as shooters, role-playing games, and others. Some multiplayer online war arenas also fall under the genre of “action games.”

The warrior in an action game takes command of a playable character, usually a hero or an avatar. The player’s objective is to guide their character through a stage, using their natural abilities and whatever weapons to defeat any opponents they encounter.

As the game progresses, the player will eventually face a boss monster at the end of a chapter or set of stages. The final bosses in a game are usually the hardest enemies to defeat. The player’s energy and number of lives are reduced through clashes with enemies and other difficulties, and the game ends when those run-out.
