Space Battles And Other Gaming Design Elements

By Skyla V. Toy


Space Battles are a critical aspect of science fiction games so the designers who make those games always want to create special, exciting battles. With the aid of the Internet, the worldwide gaming market has exploded to the point where there are thousands of different video games to choose from. Console gaming is still popular, but an increasing number of game studios are making their latest titles available for PC or exclusively on the Internet. Experienced gamers will notice, however, that many of the core design features that originally made video games so popular continue to make appearances in modern online games.

The majority of science fiction genre games incorporate space travel and futuristic, alien worlds to create a fanciful setting. When you play a game set in a science fiction alternate universe, you get the chance to experience something totally different and unique from your typical reality. If you are a big fan of a science fiction movie or book series, you may be able to find a game that incorporates characters and stories from those series; in other cases, games are made with fresh creatures, worlds, and story lines.

There are many challenges that players are faced with in a sci-fi themed game, including epic space battles with computer controlled enemies and other players. In the early iterations of video games, all of these battles pitted the player against computer controlled enemies that, in general, were predictable. But modern games allow for multiplayer gaming that makes a special challenge for even the best players; when you are battling another gamer, it is impossible to predict their next move based on programming alone.

Massively multiplayer online games are leading the most innovative concepts in multiplayer gaming because they gather thousands of gamers together in the same online gaming environment. Despite the fact that some console based MMORPG's have been released, most of these multiplayer games are only available for PC because they require a constant Internet connection.

Though every video game is unique, science fiction themed games do tend to feature some common elements that establish the genre and keep gamers coming back for more. Games that include challenging space battles that you can share with other players through a multiplayer platform tend to be especially exciting.
