Arcade mode意思
"Arcade mode" is a term commonly used in video games, particularly in fighting games, to refer to a gameplay mode that emulates the experience of playing in an arcade. Here's what it typically means:
-
Single-Player Focus: Arcade mode usually involves a single-player campaign where the player selects a character and battles through a series of matches against the computer-controlled opponents.
-
Progressive Difficulty: The difficulty often increases as the player progresses through the mode, with each successive opponent being harder to defeat.
-
Boss Fights: Many arcade modes culminate in a battle against a boss character, which is typically a powerful or unique character that the player has not yet faced.
-
Story Elements: Some arcade modes include story elements, cutscenes, or dialogue between matches to provide context or narrative to the player's progression.
-
Score Attack: Since arcade modes are inspired by the coin-operated arcade games, they often include elements of score-keeping and high score chasing, encouraging players to replay the mode to improve their scores.
-
Unlockables: Completing arcade mode can sometimes unlock additional content, such as characters, stages, concept art, or other bonuses.
The term "arcade mode" comes from the fact that it mimics the experience of playing a game in an arcade, where players would insert coins to play a single credit and try to beat the game. In home console versions of games, arcade mode is a way to enjoy a similar experience without the need for additional currency.
This mode is not exclusive to fighting games; it can be found in various genres, including platformers, shooters, and sports games, among others. However, it is particularly popular in fighting games due to their roots in the arcade scene.
