The Real-Time tag refers to a gameplay mechanic in which the game world progresses continuously, regardless of player actions. This means that events, actions, and changes in the game occur in real-time without pause or turn-based mechanics. In other words, time flows consistently within the game world, with various actions and events happening as they would in real life.

In real-time games, players must make decisions and take actions quickly as they have limited time to react. The pace of gameplay is often fast-paced and requires quick thinking and reflexes.

This tag can be used to describe different genres of games that utilize real-time mechanics:

• Real-Time Strategy (RTS) RTS games such as StarCraft II or Age of Empires II involve managing resources, building structures, training units, and engaging opponents on a dynamic battlefield where all these activities happen concurrently in real-time.
• Action Games Many action games like Doom Eternal or Bloodborne, where players engage in intense combat with enemies using responsive controls and quick reactions while the game world continues to evolve around them.
• Multilayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) MOBAs like Dota 2 or League of Legends are complex team-based competitive games where players control powerful characters who battle against other teams' heroes on dynamically changing battlegrounds with objectives constantly shifting over time.

The Real-Time tag signifies that the gameplay experience is not segmented into turns but rather unfolds continuously. It adds a sense of urgency and demands adaptability from players who must make swift decisions within an evolving environment.
