The Hero Shooter, also known as Character FPS, is a SubGenre of FirstPersonShooter and ThirdPersonShooter games, with [[MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena MOBA]] and FightingGame elements. In this type of game, instead of choosing which weapons to use or finding the weapons, the player can choose one out of multiple characters, or heroes, with different weapons and abilities. For example, one character may be able to DoubleJump, while another can [[TheMedic heal teammates]], and another can [[TheTurretMaster build turrets]]. The characters may also have [[LimitBreak Ultimate Abilities]] that can vastly alter the course of battle. This in turn makes the characters more unique and the game defined by the characters rather than the weapons available in the game.
Games of this genre tend to rely on teamwork and a combination of abilities to cover for weaknesses. Some or most characters have abilities that [[CripplingOverspecialization are only useful in specific situations]] or [[TacticalRockPaperScissors are countered by a specific character]]. Some of these games are heavily focused on the MOBA aspects, including the ability to level up, learn, and upgrade abilities and buy items during matches, to the point where they are basically First Person [=MOBAs=]. Others are much more focused on the FPS aspects and use different weapons, abilities, and ultimates to increase the variety of play styles in the game.
These are all-important because in games like this, your objective isn't to obliterate your enemy team; they always respawn after a few seconds. The game contains an objective to be contested, usually an area to dominate or hold or a payload to escort or stop. Therefore, kill counts doesn't really matter as long as you managed to hold onto your objective, so the mindset of 'frag-hunting' that is more common in deathmatch games (like ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' or ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'') would be counter-productive when playing this game.
Observe that the abilities and/or weapons must be tied to a character or group of characters; otherwise, the game is just a FirstPersonShooter with customization. It is possible, however, that some characters share some abilities.
The roots of the hero shooter genre can be traced back as early as the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis game ''VideoGame/HerzogZwei'' (1989), the first shooter with MOBA elements. It can also be traced back to class-based shooters like the ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress1 Team Fortress]]'' series, and several games that are now considered to be hero shooters were orignally marketed as class-based shooters. The hero shooter genre also contains elements of [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade]] fighting games, such as ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', which are similarly character-centric. The UrExample of the hero shooter genre is either ''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress1 Team Fortress]]'' (a 1996 ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'' mod) or ''VideoGame/{{Outtrigger}}'' (1999), an arcade hero shooter developed by [[https://segaretro.org/Sega_AM2 Sega AM2]] and produced by [[https://segaretro.org/Yu_Suzuki Yu Suzuki.]] Other early examples of the genre include ''VideoGame/TheGrid'' (2000), ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' (2007), ''VideoGame/CyberDiver'' (2009), and ''VideoGame/GunslingerStratos'' (2012).
