Arena shooters are a subgenre of first-person shooters (FPS) that focus on fast-paced gameplay in confined environments, often referred to as arenas. Players typically compete against each other in small maps, using a variety of weapons and power-ups to eliminate opponents. The gameplay emphasizes agility, reflexes, and strategic movement, making it distinct from other FPS games that may feature larger maps and more complex objectives. Popular examples of arena shooters include Quake and Unreal Tournament, which have influenced the design of many modern shooters. These games often feature a competitive multiplayer mode, where players can engage in team-based or free-for-all matches, fostering a vibrant community and competitive scene.
