Definición y Significado de "bullet sponge"

What is a "bullet sponge"?

A bullet sponge refers to an enemy character in a video game that can absorb a large amount of damage before being defeated. These enemies often require a significant number of hits or attacks, making them feel tougher or more resistant than typical opponents. The term is commonly used in action and shooter games to describe enemies that take excessive damage, sometimes frustrating players by extending combat unnecessarily. Bullet sponge enemies are often used to provide challenging encounters, but they can also be criticized for reducing the pacing of the game.
