Styles Of Sci-Fi MMO Games

By Nathan R. Robel


The design teams that produce sci-fi MMO games, also called massively multiplayer online games, do not limit themselves to making these games to fit just one single genre. Games are now marketed to people around the world by means of the Internet so competition amongst game designers is getting rather stiff. Science fiction based games have been made since the starting days of video games but that does not indicate that all the good design ideas have already been taken. The goal of video game makers is to make a great science fiction that falls into a game genre that will attract large numbers of players and maintain good popularity.

A lot of the most popularsci-fi MMO games are designed as character centric RPG's, or role playing games. RPG's encourage players to focus their attention on each detail of their character's development, from improving their strength and abilities to collecting useful items. The massively multiplayer aspects of an MMORPG come to the fore when the missions you are assigned in the game are extremely difficult and cannot be completed unless you have the support of a team of other players.

The audio effects, visual methods, and challenging enemies that are programmed into sci-fi MMO shooters makes them especially popular amongst hardcore gamers. First person shooters, which enable you to see the game's world as if you were really the character, can be quite intense and force you to battle enemies face to face. Shooter games emphasize the importance of having a good arsenal with varied weapons that can come in handy when facing specific enemies that have a vulnerability that you can capitalize on if you have the right weapon.

Classic games were typically quite easy to categorize into a clear genre but today's designers are making an effort to surprise and entertain gamers with new games that combine design techniques across genres. For instance, lots of first person shooter games also contain elements common to puzzle games such as elaborate puzzles, confusing, maze-like worlds, and time restricted missions. RPG design details often appear in other games in the form of experience points and leveling systems.

If you want to have the thrill of fighting against alien enemies in the far reaches of deep space, you can find it by playing well-designed sci-fi MMO games. You are certain to find the perfect game for your preferences, regardless of whether you like RPG's, puzzle games, shooters, or some other genre.
