How Space Battles Work In Video Games

By Patricia Z. Ramsey


Video games that are focused on science fiction stories have almost always used space battles to maintain excitement. In regards to making games that take place in the realms of deep, unexplored space, designers have literally infinite creative license to make whatever they want as long as it feels believable. The concept that you can form entire worlds, races of life, and scientific discoveries that are yet to be accomplished can have a very freeing effect on the designer and allow them to develop amazing games. When you sit down to play one of these finely crafted games, you can enjoy the fruits of the design teams hard work when you have a battle in space and feel you are really there.

Space battles in science fiction based video games usually occur with players controlling a variety of different spacecraft. The desire of real time strategy games, for instance, is to permit you to build a fleet full of many different vehicles that each has its own specific use. They are very technical and let the player precisely prepare every aspect of their fleet so that when the moment of battle arrives they are ready to achieve victory. Traditionally, strategy games depend on overhead views that allow you to see all of your fleet's ships and spacecraft in one large view.

Other space battles are engaged in with the player directly in the pilot seat of their own spaceship; these are first person games. As opposed to watching the action occur from overhead, you feel that you are personally firing the lasers and flying in circles around other space vessels as you battle for victory. A lot of gamers like this type of video game because they get a sense that they are really there and it tends to produce more excitements and thrills as your battles rage in the distance realms of outer space.

There is an entirely different type of challenge involved in video games that make you play against other people instead of just against the game's artificial intelligence. Massively multiplayer online games enable you to link with people around the world as you play, thus adding a very interesting element to your game.

New video games that utilize visually stunning and challenging space battles are very fun for all gamers. Whether you play a strategy game, a first person shooter, or an online game, you are sure to feel proud when you achieve victory.
