History LaResistance / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/{{Trapt}}'': Heavy taxation, starvation, and general mismanagement of the kingdom has caused the populace to rise up against the old royalty. Unfortunately for them, the player is one of them -- Princess Allura, the heir apparent. And since the game begins with you inheriting the terrible, demonic powers of The Fiend (aka {{Satan}}), these particular rebels ''do'', indeed, get stabbed, burned, skinned, tortured, and worse...

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblem: Path of Radiance'': Has this group, though it happens offscreen and is only mentioned when members of the Resistance join up the Liberation army.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblem: Radiant Dawn'': Has the Dawn Brigade led by Micaiah, though it quickly comes to resemble Joan of Arc pushing the enemies out the country, with the heroine being known from everyone, including the enemy, and hailed as a miraculous figure head, and joining and then leading the prince's army.

* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4 A Promise Unforgotten}}'': Revolves around [[AlmightyJanitor Prinny Instructor]] Valvatorez forming a resistance party to overthrow [[TheGovernment The Corrupternment]] because their most recent policy [[DisproportionateRetribution makes it hard for him to give the Prinnies that bonus he promised them]].

* In ''VideoGame/TheFeebleFiles'', Feeble ends up joining one after getting sent to Cygnus Alpha. They want to overthrow [[BigBad [=OmniBrain=]]] and his totalitarian Omni Corporation.

* ''VideoGame/{{Arma}}'': Begin a military sandbox simulator, Arma loves this trope, serving both as [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized antagonists]] and [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified allies]].

* ''VideoGame/GwentTheWitcherCardGame'', as well as ''Franchise/TheWitcher'' universe as a whole, features a small resistance movement of elves, dwarves, and other non-humans called the Scoia'tael, even though they are more akin to [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized a terrorist organization]] than a resistance movement.

* ''VideoGame/StarBound'' has rebels fighting with the [[BigBrotherIsWatching Miniknog.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}'': Humans Fighting the Combine. One might not think much of a resistance that puts a theoretical physicist at the head of their battle... but then, he ''is'' [[BadassBookworm Gordon]] [[OneManArmy Freeman]].

* ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'': The Vox Populi make this a DeconstructedTrope. While their demands are legitimate (the Founders took a page from the Third Reich (literally)) and originally grew out of opposition to the Founder's isolationist and white supremacist policies, [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized their adherence to Chaos causes them to devolve into the very monsters the Founders looked down upon, and now cower in terror of.]]

->One revolution later...

* ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'': The Vox Populi make this a DeconstructedTrope. While they originally grew out of opposition to the Founder's isolationist and white supremacist policies, they have been fighting for so long that their original beliefs have become a dogma of [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized blind hatred against the Founders]].

* ''VideoGame/SonicForces'': The plot involves Sonic the Hedgehog leading a resistance force, including [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness his past self]] and the [[CharacterCustomization player avatar]], against Doctor Eggman, who finally managed to TakeOverTheWorld.

** ''Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead'': After the government of Takistan is defeated by the US and NATO. They are still resisted by the [[TheRemnant Takistani Republican Militia]], while the US forces are helped by the local indepedent "Takistani Guerillas", later the local guerillas turn on the US and their allies, becoming the main antagonist force.

** ''Arma 3: Apex'', features the ''Syndikat'' guerilla group, based in the island nation Tanoa fighting against the local Tanoa Gendarmerie and NATO pacific force. Differently from the FIA, they are outright antagonistic, stealing from NGO camps, killing from anyone opposing them and smugling drugs and weapons; and differentely from other antagonistic guerilla groups in Arma, the Syndikat is more interested in criminal activity, making more of a TheCartel. It's also stated that their leader, Solomon Maru, was part of the ''"Red Tiger"'' coup, making them a possible case of MotiveDecay.

** ''Arma 2'' features the [[DirtyCommunists "Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star"]], called ''CHDKZ'' for short and sometimes as the "Chedakis", are the main OPFOR faction fighting against the protagonists of the [[SemperFi US Marine Corps]] and your allies of the local {{Ruritania}}'s army, the Chernaus Defense Forces. A third side, indepedent faction called "Nationalist Party of Chernarus", or ''NAPA'' for short, a small guerilla group that fights both the CHDKZ and the government forces, altough they become a possible ally trough the campaign.
