Evolution of Character Action Games:
CAGs have come a long way since their humble beginnings in the early days of arcade gaming. The genre has evolved over the years, with new mechanics and innovations being introduced all the time. One of the most significant changes in CAGs has been the shift from 2D to 3D graphics. This has allowed developers to create more complex and immersive worlds, as well as provide players with a greater sense of depth and control.
Another major change in CAGs has been the increased focus on character customization. In early CAGs, players were typically limited to a single character with a predetermined set of abilities. However, modern CAGs often allow players to create their own characters, choosing from a variety of weapons, abilities, and playstyles. This level of customization allows players to tailor their gaming experience to their own preferences.
