10 of The Most Impressive Female Video Game Characters

Video games have hugely sexualized women, but the tradeoff is hard to deny since many female characters are compelling and impressive. That’s why 10 of the most impressive female video game characters are hard to pick since everyone has their favorites.

Lara Croft

Her reputation has carried Lara far more than anything else, but it can’t be denied that people still enjoy Tomb Raider. While it’s dipped in popularity over the years compared to several other games, it’s still one of the classics people choose to hold onto.

Aloy

Like many others, I’m still waiting for the Horizon movie to come along since following Aloy on her trip through a dystopian future was a lot of fun. Not only that, but she’s the type of tough and resilient character who can satisfy plenty of fans who want to see someone who’s not overwhelmingly powerful or skilled but has flaws that she needs to work around.

Tifa Lockheart

Final Fantasy fans have never let go of their love for this character since she was awesome coming in, and she’s remained that way. As one of the group members who packs a heavy punch, she’s not the most powerful, but she is highly influential and, yes, very attractive.

Kitana

When Mortal Kombat 2 introduced many new characters, one of the favorites was Kitana. With her mirror image, Mileena proved to be a tough character to beat in the game. Hopefully, she’ll be represented correctly in the next Mortal Kombat movie.

Mileena

Mileena has been seen as a copy of Kitana for many years, but eventually, she became her own character. While her representation in the recent Mortal Kombat movie was odd, it wasn’t too far off the mark. Deadly and dangerous have always been adequate descriptors of this character.

Taki

A lot of people still don’t know about the game SoulCalibur. They probably don’t know that it came from the game Soul Blade, which was featured on the first PlayStation, either. But Taki has been around for a while, and she’s one of the deadliest ninjas in any game since killing demons is an everyday thing for her.

Ivy

Also, from SoulCalibur, Ivy is undoubtedly famous thanks to her bodily dimensions and because she has one of the most extended ranges in the game. Her whip-sword, which comes in many different variations, is a devastating weapon that makes her even more appealing as if she needed anything else to appeal to young men.

Chun-Li

She’s an OG in fighting games and is one of the genre’s first and most badass women. Chun-Li was and still is the favorite of many players, thanks to her devastating attacks and wearing very skimpy clothing. Hey, it’s true.

Samus Aran

She still stands out as one of the biggest surprises when revealing the faces of video game characters. No one expected Samus to be female, but since her reveal, it’s been established that she’s one of the most popular video game characters.

Ciri

The Witcher is definitely a niche type of game that not many people get into. It’s fair to think that many people might not have known about Ciri without The Witcher on Netflix. But the truth is that she’s an insanely powerful individual who can put a lot of enemies on their heels without much effort.
