Strategispil

Strategispil, also known as strategy games, are a genre of video games that emphasize strategic thinking, tactical planning, and skillful decision-making to achieve victory. Players are typically tasked with managing resources, building structures, commanding units, and outmaneuvering opponents over a period of time. The core gameplay often revolves around a long-term objective rather than quick reflexes, though tactical execution is still important.

There are several subgenres within strategy games. Real-time strategy (RTS) games, like StarCraft or Age of Empires, require players to make decisions and issue commands simultaneously as the game progresses without pauses. Turn-based strategy (TBS) games, such as Civilization or XCOM, allow players to take their turns at their own pace, planning each move carefully before the opponent responds. Other prominent subgenres include grand strategy games, which focus on large-scale empire management over extended periods, and 4X games (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate), which are a common characteristic of grand strategy titles. The genre also encompasses tactical RPGs and MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas), which blend strategic elements with role-playing and action mechanics. Success in strategispil often depends on a player's ability to adapt to changing circumstances, anticipate enemy actions, and optimize their chosen strategy.
