Observed alongside this lens
Why these games appear
Shooting that separates movement from continuous directional aiming, commonly using one stick or input axis for each.
Include when
Assign Twin-Stick Shooter when shooting that separates movement from continuous directional aiming, commonly using one stick or input axis for each. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.
Leave out when
Do not assign Twin-Stick Shooter from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
