Pattern Recognition CombatCombatEnemies and bosses follow fixed, fully deterministic patterns; mastery is memorization and execution, not reaction to randomness.
Real Time Action CombatCombatCombat resolves continuously in real time; player inputs compete directly with enemy behavior each frame.
Lives SystemResourcePlayer has a finite number of attempts; losing all lives resets progress to a defined point or ends the game.
