Warfocused

Warfocused refers to a specific gameplay style or emphasis within video games, particularly those with strategic or combat elements. It signifies a player's primary objective and interest in engaging in conflict, warfare, and military operations within the game's environment. Players who adopt a warfocused approach typically prioritize building strong armies, researching military technologies, and executing offensive or defensive strategies to achieve victory through combat.

This playstyle is common in genres such as real-time strategy (RTS), grand strategy games, turn-based strategy, and some role-playing games (RPGs) or simulation titles that feature significant combat mechanics. A warfocused player might dedicate most of their in-game resources and time to unit production, battlefield command, and territorial conquest. They often find satisfaction in outmaneuvering opponents, achieving decisive victories, and dominating the game's conflict systems.

Conversely, games or players might have different focuses, such as economic development, diplomacy, exploration, or puzzle-solving. A warfocused approach is thus defined by its singular dedication to the military aspects of a game, often to the exclusion of other potential gameplay avenues. The term is descriptive of intent and priority within the context of interactive entertainment.
