Description
In the fighting games industry, a 'Challenge' refers to a specific task, match, or series of conditions designed to test a player's abilities. Challenges can vary widely, from completing specific moves or combos to defeating a series of opponents under certain conditions. They often serve to help players improve their skills, learn new techniques, or achieve specific in-game rewards. Challenges can be found in both single-player modes, like training or mission modes, and in multiplayer settings where players compete against each other.
Examples
- Street Fighter V: In the game's 'Trials' mode, players are given a series of combo challenges that increase in difficulty, helping them to learn the intricate timing and execution required for advanced play.
- Mortal Kombat 11: The 'Towers of Time' mode offers rotating challenges where players must defeat a sequence of opponents with varying modifiers and conditions, such as reduced health or increased damage, to earn rewards and unlockables.
Additional Information
- Challenges often come with rewards such as new characters, costumes, or in-game currency, motivating players to take them on.
- They are designed to be progressively harder, ensuring that players are constantly improving and mastering new aspects of the game.
