At the turn of the 20th and 21st century, the conviction that only boys and men play games was still very strong. Nowadays, not only are women that play games more welcome to this exciting world of entertainment, but they are also becoming protagonists or very important figures in games themselves. Let us present to you a list of badass women in gaming.
There was no other way – only Lara Croft could open up this article. The adventures of this intelligent and crafty archaeologist have been stimulating our imagination for 24 years now. The series could serve as a case study of the development of video games: angular shapes and somewhat funny glitches have evolved into beautiful and dangerous worlds ready for exploration.
The main heroine is shown as a powerful woman that you wouldn’t like to mess with. In the last, very well-reviewed game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara Croft must not only face a paramilitary organization, Trinity, but also save the whole world. Who else could do it if not a badass woman? Check this game out and other Tomb Raider games in our offer on GAMIVO.com
Let’s be clear on it: Yennefer is only one of the super strong female characters in The Witcher. We must not forget about Ciri, Triss, Keira or Philippa. The CD Project RED’s masterpiece is a real catalogue of independent women, whose help is very often essential for the titular hero, Geralt of Rivia.
Yennefer is indeed full of charm but her books and hands are also full of dangerous curses. She can fight just like Geralt and she stands up for herself. Of course the ending of The Witcher: Wild Hunt depends mainly on your decisions, but if not for Yennefer’s help, Geralt probably wouldn’t have found and saved Ciri. Both The Witcher 2 and 3 are available in our store
Though this game allows you to choose whether you want play as a male or female, there’s one, very important thing that must be stressed: Kassandra is not at all sexualized. It’s a big step forward. Kassandra is a strong, confident, cheeky and heroic Greek mercenary, whose task is to unify the family and defeat The Cult of Kosmos. Have you ever heard of a hero holding an eye of a cyclops and putting the eye into a goat’s rump… in front of that cyclops?
If you want to see that, play Assasin’s Creed: Odyssey that you can find on GAMIVO.
Such legends as Mortal Kombat should not pass unnoticed. The greatest proof of women getting more recognition in games is that in the first release of Mortal Kombat women were represented only by Sonya Blade. In Mortal Kombat 11, that you can find on GAMIVO, there are at least 5 female rangers. Also, the developers introduced the first-ever female boss character, Kronika.
Injustice 2, that stands out when it comes to character design, offers us around 8 great and powerful women, including such figures as the beloved Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman or Cat Woman.
