Selecting A Space Shooter Game To Enjoy

By Casandra D. Cruickshank


The thrilling game play elements that are used in a space shooter game and similar games in the science fiction genre keep players intrigued and challenge their gaming skills. Part of the reason why so many designers like to work in the realm of science fiction games is that there is a lot of creative ideas that fit the futuristic world of sci-fi that would not work in other game genres. Instead of simply holding to a set series of rules for all shooter games, design teams are also finding ways to incorporate creative gaming concepts that were once confined to the RPG category. What are a few of the basic features that you can find across all science fiction games and how do their styles differ?

A space shooter game is usually one that puts the focus on handheld weapon combat, using guns, swords, knives, and other weapons to defeat enemies. The concept of science fiction based shooter game, however, means bringing advanced laser beam style weapons into the game too. The designers work to make weapons that, while powerful, are not perfect and have their own strengths and weaknesses in certain situations. For instance, an extremely powerful yet slow weapon would not be ideal for close range combat with multiple enemies; you would fare better with a less powerful, faster operating gun.

One of the most fascinating elements of role playing games that is being incorporated into shooters by space shooter game makers is strong character development. The majority of RPG's provide their character's a level rating based on the experience they get through in-game tasks and challenges. You might even have the chance to upgrade the level of your individual weapons by using them frequently, purchasing upgrades for them, or completing quests.

Most shooter games will begin with a notably limited set of weapons but you are sure to develop quite an arsenal as you make your way through the levels. Every weapon is unique and may take some time to get used to; some weapons have additional features that might not be immediately obvious and take time to learn.

The latest space shooter game concepts are stretching the definition of this genre and offering real challenges that even veteran gamers will love. Part of the fun of these games is teaching yourself to overcome new challenges using the inventive weapons found throughout the adventure.
