History BigScrewedUpFamily / VideoGames

* The Robonik family from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' has the dubious honor of having almost every member attempt to take over or destroy the world AND attempt to kill a relative. Gerald went nuts and pulled a ThanatosGambit involving a ColonyDrop, his "son," Shadow, almost destroyed the world out of revenge, and later killed his "father," Black Doom, who intended to reduce humanity to cattle. Gerald also made the Biolizard and has a grandson in the form of Dr. Eggman, who attempted to take over the world too many times to count, manipulated his uncle Shadow, and built Metal Sonic, who betrayed him at one point. The WhiteSheep of the family, Maria, was the equivalent of an AIDS patient who was killed by government agents at twelve.

* The Mishima family from ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}''. It's {{badass|Family}}... and it's also ridiculously shattered. By ''Tag Tournament 2'', there are certifiably ''five'' family members competing. There's Jinpachi, his son Heihachi, his son Kazuya, ''his'' son Jin Kazama, and Heihachi's illegitimate son Lars Alexandersson (there is also Heihachi's adoptive son Lee Chaolan, although his involvement with the "family business" varies). You can basically draw a web of who wants to kill who and why. The only one who is 'good' in the general sense of the term is Jinpachi (he has a good heart but is unable to fight the engulfing evil force that has possessed his mind and body; although Lars is heroic his disgust with his parentage does cause him to shoot at Heihachi unprovoked when the two cross paths). This basically all starts with Heihachi, who tried to overthrow his dad, and threw his son Kazuya into a ravine to kill him, and ''then'' a volcano when that didn't take. Jin's family on his mother's side is relatively sane [[spoiler:though his mother Jun has a creepy SuperpoweredEvilSide (in the ''Tag'' games, at least) and terrible taste in men (she did fall in love with Jin's father Kazuya and still thinks he can be redeemed, ''despite'' him attempting to murder her niece)]]. Jin's cousin Asuka doesn't really get too involved with family affairs since she's kinda busy with her RichBitch rival constantly pestering her for fights, but she does try to kick Jin's ass in ''6'' for [[WellIntentionedExtremist causing all sorts of chaos in his plan to get rid of the Devil Gene]]. In ''VideoGame/Tekken7'', Heihachi's estranged wife Kazumi joins the fray and goes as far as [[GuestFighter hiring Akuma]] from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' to take out Heihachi and Kazuya. She's [[spoiler:also the originator of the Devil Gene that plagues her grandson so much]]. As if all that wasn't enough, ''VideoGame/Tekken8'' adds in [[spoiler:Reina, who is actually Heihachi's illegitimate daughter, secretly planning to reclaim the Mishima Zaibatsu and honor the legacy of her father (who was KilledOffForReal at the end of ''7''). She also has a Devil Gene of her own... somehow]].

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCalamityTrigger'':

* In ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'' you're a [[HeroicMime mute supersoldier]] known as the Point Man. The man you've been sent to kill, Paxton Fettel ([[spoiler:who is your brother]]) is a cannibalistic, psychic psychopath who is going on a violent rampage with his army of telepathic soldiers and merely gets pissed when you kill him. Alma [[spoiler:Wade]] ([[spoiler:who is your mother]]) is a homicidal ghost out for revenge (and to protect [[spoiler:her children]]). Harlan Wade ([[spoiler:your grandfather]] [[spoiler:''AND'' technically your father]]) is the person who caused this mess by working with an evil corporation to experiment [[spoiler:on his own daughter who happens to be the aforementioned ghost that is your mother]]. Note that this is just the ''first'' game. In the second one, Alma decides to add [[spoiler:Michael Becket]] to your relations by [[spoiler:[[StalkerWithATestTube using him to father another child]]]], but this is ''after'' a gene-splicing operation that [[spoiler:directly links him to your bloodline]]. By the third game, Alma is expecting ''again''. On top of that, [[spoiler:while grandpa is still dead, the worst parts of him are ''back'' and want you dead too]]. And at the very end, [[spoiler:the Point Man and Fettel face off, and one of them gets killed/consumed, leaving the other to raise the newborn as their own]].
* Later ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' games depict the Afton family as this. Let's put it this way: most of the established members have either tried or ''succeeded'' in killing each other at least once. The father, William, is the BigBad, who is a SerialKiller of [[WouldHurtAChild children]], has confined his victims to an unlife as HostileAnimatronics, and has created animatronics with the specific purpose of finding new victims. The daughter, Elizabeth, [[spoiler:was killed by one of these animatronics, and later -- as Circus Baby -- went on to use her brother's hollowed-out corpse as a disguise before [[DaddysLittleVillain supporting William in his crimes.]]]] Speaking of which, [[spoiler:said brother, Michael, is heavily implied to be the BigBrotherBully from [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 the fourth game]], who accidentally killed his younger brother in a DeadlyPrank.]] By the way, [[spoiler:[[RevenantZombie Michael is still alive after having his body used as an animatronic's suit]]. It's also implied that his ongoing trauma is in part because he [[StrongFamilyResemblance looks a lot like his father]].]] For bonus points: [[spoiler:Vanny, the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] [[JackTheRipoff copycat killer]] and minion of William's VirtualGhost starting from ''Help Wanted'', is referred to as 'Vanessa A.' in the ''Special Delivery'' lore emails, which means that there's a [[AmbiguouslyRelated non-zero chance of her also being an Afton]].]]

* The Baker family of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'' consists of three psychotic murderous and apparently invincible hillbillies and their [[TokenGoodTeammate apparently not psychotic or murderous daughter]], as well as the CreepyChild Evelyn and the apparently catatonic grandmother. [[spoiler:Subverted in that they actually were once a loving family who were [[BrainwashedAndCrazy infected and brainwashed]] by the [[HumanoidAbomination bio-weapon Evelyn]] and turned from a perfectly normal family into a group of murderous mold-monsters, save for Lucas who [[EvilAllAlong was always evil and was never brainwashed]]. Also Evelyn and the grandmother are actually the same person, but that's a tale for another trope.]]

** In ''Tekken 7'', Heihachi's estranged wife, Kazumi, joins the fray and goes as far as [[GuestFighter hiring Akuma]] from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' to take out Heihachi and Kazuya. She's [[spoiler:also the originator of the Devil Gene that plagues her grandson so much]].

** To summarize the story: [[spoiler:3 Orphan Siblings + TimeTravel + CloningBlues + AxCrazy = Big Screwed-Up Family + TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt [[GroundhogDayLoop Repeatedly]]]]. To specify, [[spoiler:the younger brother is driven to insanity by the BigBad, so he cuts off his big brother's arm, then later supervises a clone of his sister, whom he hates, who is a main piece in the Big Bad's plan to destroy the world, and is then driven to hunt his thought-to-be-dead big brother, who will also destroy the world, and it turns out the sister who disappeared is the villain behind the main antagonist. In the original timeline, the big brother was turned into a monster and sent back in time, while his younger brother turned himself into a hero to atone for everything he had done before. Even as a reformed hero, he is still intent on killing his big brother, though now he wants to do it for the sake of the world and not because of {{Yandere}} tendencies. Speaking of Yandere tendencies, there's also another clone of their sister who has some serious hots for Ragna, and when he rejects her she decides to kill him so that they can fuse and become the earlier mentioned world-destroying monster together... Yes, this game is ''very'' [[MindScrew confusing]]... Credit where credit is due, though: The family has become a little less dysfunctional by the end of the second game. Well, except that sister-turned-villain... Though all hope is not lost for this family, due to persisting rumors that this sister-turned-villain could be just a victim of manipulation of the BigBad and her villain status was just a front provided by the BigBad so he could move as he like and {{Troll}} the brothers]].
