Uses two-dimensional "sprites", 2D images created and used on a flat plane, as opposed to the three-dimensional models or environments found in 3D games.

Set in a fictional universe, often (but not always) with fantastic or supernatural elements, alternate worlds, magic and monsters.

Similar to roguelike games but generally with simpler or more forgiving rules & mechanics.

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
