Plenty of action games have role-playing elements to help make them more interesting. Take God of War’s experience orb and upgrade system, for example, or even Assassin’s Creed in way, as you upgrade your combat moves by completing primary missions and bolster health reserves through side-quests. While those games are considered action titles, Liquid Entertainment classifies its upcoming Rise of the Argonauts as an action-RPG
It looks quite a bit like an action game because the combat takes place entirely in real-time and features an extremely minimal heads-up display (HUD) in an effort to maximize the player’s immersion into the game world. Without a multitude of on-screen bars and gauges, you’ll instead have to pay attention to your character’s posture and wounds, which will show up on the character model wherever they’re hit.
