A UI element consisting of a box or strip of icons (or menu items) corresponding to actions which can be performed. Games on personal computers, designed to be used with a one or two-button mouse, use these to allow the player to select which action he wants to perform. Console games generally assign different controller buttons to these functions, but, particularly when the buttons are assignable, may keep this on screen as a visual reference as to which options are currently equipped. The bar can also represent the player's inventory of usable items. A variation seen in later games was to replace the Action Bar with a pop-up display of actions which appear radially around the character sprite. Such a usage is commonly called a "Ring Menu". |

Common in many MMOs such as World of Warcraft and City of Heroes. It's not uncommon for higher-level characters to have many action bars, with those who have maxed-out their capabilities viewing the game through a kind of narrow window in between their action buttons. | |

Persona 5 features a unique stylized battle menu where, instead of highlighting and selecting an action like in previous games, each option is assigned to a specific button: X for melee attacks, Circle for defense, Square for items, Triangle for Persona abilities, up on the D-pad for gun attacks, and L2 for tactical options or escaping. | |
