We might not remember all the game genres we have played years ago, but everyone can certainly tell that they have played some kind of a classic fighting game in back in the day.
The round based system, which provoked us to make that awesome comebacks. Those complex keypad combos, which can only be mastered through constant efforts and dedication, and that extra-special, breathtaking last stroke where we K.O. (Knock Out) our opponent! You’ve experienced the same thrill, Right?
So what is it, that keeps us engaged in one of the most classic genres of fighting video games? Why it always stays is it always on top of our brain, no matter how many advanced FPS or MMORPG we have played in recent times? Let’s find out why Fighting video games are the most popular genre of all time!
Why Fighting Video Games Are Most Popular?
Unique Gameplay Value
No matter if you have played any fighting games before, you would want to play it again and again. Most of the fighting games contain more than two dozens of the characters. Customizing them, mastering their techniques and fighting their best opponents keeps you glued to the gameplay. And considering doing this cycle for every other character. Literally, you can enjoy a single fighting game over the period of a year, and it would not feel repetitive. The same amount of variety is available for locations/environments & special powers too.
Which other game genre offers these many gameplay varieties?
Visual Delights at Its Finest
No matter what, we have to admit that we love brutal action. Violence, gruesome fatalities, dead-end fight, and the most imaginative action-adventure games are preferred by gamers over any type of gaming genre. And with fighting video games, the gameplay is getting visually pleasing more than ever before. The integral feature of such kind of games as special attacks, punching, and killing proves to be a power packed imagination, and it takes the visual excellent to next level.
Shiny new armours, spinning weapons, smoking visual effects, fierce action and the fatal bloodbath are just the basics, it’s getting darker, and gamers across are world are enjoying it all!
Closest Counters & Personal Battles
We can not deny how fast and remorseless FPS close counter battles are, I personally believe in fighting video games they are the most intense. Only two opponents are playing at a time, and all your strength, skills and years of battling skills focus towards that single opponent.
We know and control our character with all its strength and participate in the aggressive battle and the engagement level is way to much higher compared to anything else.

The need for developing such fatality games comes as the loved by the gamers as it allows them combines various moves and techniques to fight against the opposition.
