History AxCrazy / VideoGames

* If you want an example of a nutcase in ''any'' racing game ''ever'', ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted'' introduces [[TheFreelanceShameSquad Blacklist]] member [[BitchAlert Kira]] (Kamikaze or "Kaze") [[JapaneseDelinquent Nakazato]], whose [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving style is straight up aggressive and borderline near suicidal]] and who isn't afraid to dent her car as long as she can take out the competition. Especially '''[[PlayerCharacter YOU]]'''.

* Though decidedly one of the less maniacal cases of insanity, it is heavily implied that the Ghosts in the ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' universe would've liquidated the universe if it weren't for the inhabiting implants in their brains.
-->"Whenever I see a world untouched by war, a world of innocence, a world of lush forests and clear rivers... I really just wanna ''nuke the crap out of it''!"

* ''Franchise/Tekken'': Bryan Fury is an unhinged, violent, psychopathic manaic who likes to cause chaos and rampages wherever he goes. He even has a victory pose where he sits on top of his already defeated opponent and starts beating the living crap out of them. He does that to every playable character, man, woman, young, old, and even if they are human or not. Basically, if you have a face, he will destroy it with his fists, with audible sounds of bones being crunched as his opponent's arms and legs twitched from the beatdown. In addition, Bryan is a cyborg, and he will survive through gunshots and explosions. Unless if Yoshimitsu exacts his revenge, Bryan will still continue his rampage and time will tell when it will be stopped.

* Penny from ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' vacillates between being an [[TheOphelia Ophelia]] and being Ax-Crazy, mainly depending on the wishes of her stuffed Mr. Bear.
-->'''Penny:''' Hee hee! Penny likes you...but Mr. Bear ''[=HATES YOU!=]''\\
'''Will:''' Why are you helping me?\\
'''Penny:''' ...Because Mr. Bear told me to.

* Kurodōji from ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'', who [[LaughingMad laughs nonstop]] [[PutTheLaughterInSlaughter as he kills]]. All while being [[CreepyChild a little boy]].

** And on a literal note, [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Masked Dedede]]]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', where he grabs a large poleaxe [[NinjaProp from the background]] and starts swinging with it at Kirby. But we can't blame him, as [[spoiler: King Dedede was [[BrainwashedAndCrazy hypnotized]] by [[EvilPuppeteer Taranza]] at the climax. [[EvilCounterpart Shadow Dedede]] from Dededetour! is even more psychopathic, though this could be because the Japanese, Chinese and Korean descriptions imply that he's been possessed by an alternate version of Dark Matter (i.e. [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror Dark Mind]], though [[AmbiguouslyRelated it's unknown if he really is related to Dark Matter]]).]]

*** [[spoiler:[[KingOfBeasts Leongar]]]]. Just before his fight, he threatens to feast on Kirby's hide if he dares to interfere with the Beast Pack's plans to [[spoiler:reunite [[MadeOfGood Elfilin]] with [[EvilCounterpart Fecto Forgo]].]] It's best seen in the second phase, where he becomes possessed and regresses into a wild beast violently chomping at Kirby while running on all fours. That said, just like Dedede, it's just because he's brainwashed. [[spoiler:when he's finally freed from Fecto Forgo's control in the post-game, he's completely sane.]]
*** Last but ''certainly'' not least, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Fecto Forgo]].]] Once Kirby beats Leongar, [[spoiler:they finally lose their patience and break out of the Eternal Capsule, assimilate just about every member of the Beast Pack that's currently in Lab Discovera, transforms into a massive chimera form, and gives chase after Kirby and Elfilin. Not only that, but they're also the most [[{{Determinator}} persistent]] villain the series has seen yet, chasing Kirby through Lab Discovera and then trying to ColonyDrop Planet Popstar onto the New World after Kirby frees Elfilin, clearly not caring about how many lives will be lost in the process. The fact that the brainwashed Dedede and Leongar also act like deranged monsters in their second phases could even imply that their corrupting influence also [[MindRape MindRapes]] them, destroying their memories and turning them into destructive animals.]]

* ''VideoGame/WillYouSnail'' features Squid, an unstable, megalomaniacal AI with a god complex that enjoys torturing humans and watching them suffer and die.

** Jerme, the Black Fang assassin nicknamed Death Kite from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', fits this one like a glove. He says to [[ActionGirl Lyn]]: "You! Woman! You have beautiful skin. If I sliced you into lovely red ribbons with this, would the pieces be as soft and delicate as silk?"
%%*** Karel is a rare AntiHero example of this trope. Although twenty years later in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', he has mellowed out quite considerably. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)

*** Dimitri starts off burying this side of him deep down inside, but unless you choose the [[spoiler:Crimson Flower]] route, the WhamEpisode that is Chapter 11 and the five-year timeskip turn him into a man completely obsessed with killing [[spoiler:Edelgard]] and perfectly willing to brutally slaughter anyone who gets in his way. [[spoiler:On the Azure Moon route, he gets better; not so much on Verdant Wind or Silver Snow, where his newfound recklessness gets him killed. On Crimson Flower, he's much more composed, but has blinded himself to the craziness of the person down below.]]

%%** [[spoiler:Marx]] from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar and Ultra''.
%%** And on a literal note, [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Masked Dedede]]]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe''. But we can't blame him as [[spoiler: King Dedede was [[BrainwashedAndCrazy hypnotized]] by [[EvilPuppeteer Taranza]] at the start of the game.]]

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' has [[VillainProtagonist Kratos]], who slaughters his way through [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the gods and monsters of Greek mythology]].

He even has a victory pose where he sits on top of his already defeated opponent and starts beating the living crap out of them.

* When we first meet little Illyasviel von Einzbern from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', it's incredibly obvious that one, she's not quite all there, and two, she wants to hurt people (which given she is the Master of Berserker, one of the most powerful Servants of the Holy Grail War, she is ''more'' than capable of doing). She fixates on Shirou quite strongly due to the fact that he's the son of Kiritsugu Emiya, who she ''hates'' for abandoning her. While she's at her worst in the Fate route, the Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel routes show a far more sympathetic side to little Illya.

* ''VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce'': Crown and Fool are only heroes by virtue of being leased to fight for the good guys. They are a pair of completely sadistic MonsterClown who only participate for the opportunity to enact more violence, and don't even discriminate if a friendly unit gets caught in the area of effect of their attacks. The heroes are even given a whistle that will pacify them on the non-zero chance that they decide to turn on the team.

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' has Id, also known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Demon]] [[RedBaron of Elru]]. Whenever he pops up, he goes around killing ''everything'' in sight, committing genocide, crashing a "space station" (killing all the people living inside), or just behaving like a "normal" serial killer and murdering people one by one. [[spoiler:In reality, Id is actually [[TheHero Fei]]'s SplitPersonality. The guy has a lot of issues.]]

** The main reason Jade Curtiss from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' banned replicating living creatures was that when he attempted to revive his mentor whom he accidentally killed through it, the resulting clone was an ultra-powerful BonusBoss with a sociopathic personality. No wonder he's a bit apprehensive about using it again.

** Kokichi Oma, who frequently lies to and plays mind games with others, seemingly for his own amusement, and can be quite insulting with others. In the fourth chapter, [[spoiler:he manipulates Gonta into killing Miu, browbeats the amnesiac Gonta in an attempt to get him to confess, then mocks Gonta after he's executed]].
** Miu Iruma is a huge examaple. She constantly [[KickTheDog bullies, abuses,]] and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexually harasses]] her classmates. She even attempted to kill Kokichi and get everyone else exected to save her own skin.

In the fourth chapter, [[spoiler:he manipulates Gonta into killing Miu, browbeats the amnesiac Gonta in an attempt to get him to confess, then mocks Gonta after he's executed]]. In the end, it's suggested that [[spoiler:Kokichi hated the killing game and wanted to bring it to an end]], but that doesn't fully justify or excuse his unpleasant behavior.

** Miu and Kokichi are huge examples, both being abusive jerkasses to their classmates.
