Igre Fighting
Fighting genre usually consists of two on-screen characters battling it out against each other in a duel. Characters can be controlled by two players or a player and AI. Fighting games have numerous unique characters with specific fighting style, combos, and special moves, triggered through rapid sequences of various button combinations or corresponding keyboard or joystick movements. These characters tend to be of equal power, so a duel in most cases is decided by a more skilled and experienced player.
Traditionally these games use side camera view, though multiple viewpoints are used by newer games in the genre. The fights are often held in an arena-like setting and the featured characters usually fight unarmed, however, characters with weapons such as swords or guns can be found as well.

Most fighting genre games include a single-player mode where players can unlock hidden characters and find out more about their favourite fighters' background stories.
