Distinct Types Of Sci-Fi MMO Games

By Nathan R. Robel


The sci-fi MMO games, or massively multiplayer online games, are crafted in the form of many different genres in order to attract lots of gamers to these Internet based, multiplayer adventures. There is a lot of competition amongst video game designers because the advent of online gaming has opened an international market. Science fiction based games have been made since the early days of video games but that does not indicate that all the good design ideas have already been taken. Designers do much to create games that take full advantage of science fiction elements while also fitting into popular video game genres that gamers have come to know and love.

Sci-fi MMO games are frequently designed in the traditional style of RPG's, or role playing games. The point of an RPG is to advance your character's abilities as the game progresses so that with time they have the best items, skills, and weapons. The massively multiplayer aspects of an MMORPG come to the fore when the missions you receive 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 techniques, and challenging enemies that are programmed into sci-fi MMO shooters makes them especially popular amongst hardcore gamers. One of the greatest design points of these games is the first person viewpoint which lets you feel as if you were directly in the action and battles of your game. In these games it is important that you collect a variety of different weapons so that you are ready to face any foes that may appear in your way; you will also need sufficient ammo in order to gain victory in battle.

Classic games were usually 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 show up in other games as experience points and leveling systems.

There are all kinds of different sci-fi MMO games now available to gamers who want to enjoy the excitement of battling enemies in a futuristic fantasy world. Whether you are looking for a puzzle game, a first person shooter, or an RPG, you can find an MMO that incorporates the gaming elements you prefer.
