Action

Description

Action games usually involve moving a character through a game world by running, jumping, climbing, or leaping, with the goal of discovering the doorway to the next stage or level. Action games often feature hero characters battling a cast of "baddies" as they move through each level. A basic plot may provide an overall goal, such as defeating an arch-villain or rescuing a princess, but the manipulation of onscreen elements is the crux of gameplay.
