Action RPGs, or action role-playing games, combine elements of traditional role-playing games with real-time combat. Players control a character, often customizing their abilities and appearance, while exploring immersive worlds filled with quests, enemies, and treasures. The gameplay emphasizes fast-paced action, requiring quick reflexes and strategic thinking. In action RPGs, players typically level up their characters by gaining experience points from defeating foes and completing missions. This progression allows for the enhancement of skills and attributes, making characters more powerful. Popular examples of action RPGs include titles like Dark Souls and The Witcher, which are known for their engaging stories and challenging gameplay.
