Action role-playing video games (abbreviated action RPG or ARPG) is a loosely-defined subgenre of role-playing video games which emphasize real-time combat whereby the player has direct control over characters, instead of turn-based or menu-based combat.

These games often use action game combat systems similar to hack and slash or shooter games.

Action role-playing games may also include action-adventure games that include a mission system and RPG mechanics, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games with real-time combat systems.

A video game genre is a classification assigned to a video game based on its gameplay interaction rather than visual or narrative differences.

A video game genre is defined by a set of gameplay challenges and are classified independent of their setting or game-world content, unlike other works of fiction such as films or books.

For example, a shooter game is still a shooter game, regardless of whether it takes place in a fantasy world or in outer space.
