[[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed that Konrad isn't the real Prince Konrad, but an orphan that Delfador raises to overthrow the tyrannical queen.]]
** The founder of Wesnoth, Haldric, spends his campaign ''The Rise of Wesnoth'' as a prince, even though his father King Eldaric IV of Stormvale dies early on, until he establishes Wesnoth and becomes its king. Like every campaign protagonist, he takes part in all of the battles in the campaign.
* In ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings 2'' your ruler automatically joins your commander roster, along with your marshal and your appointed commanders. Leading battles is dangerous though, and can get your ruler killed. [[DecadentCourt But sometimes this is exactly what you need]].
** If you are a high-ranked ruler (usually Grand-Duke or higher) the majority of your appointed commanders and your marshal will probably be landed nobles anyways, since rulers are usually better leaders than courtiers, due to better education, war or hunting focus and character modifiers.

** The most prominent example in the entire franchise is Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight. As the ruler of mankind he led his Silver Knights into battle in the war against the everlasting dragons, and his lightning spears were key to mankind's victory as they pierced the NighInvulnerable scales of the dragons.
** The titular king of the ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' DLC ''Crown of the Ivory King'' was the strongest knight in the land of Forossa (a land of {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s known for their savagery on the battlefield) before becoming the king of Eleum Loyce, and was always the first to swing his sword in the defence of his kingdom and his people. Upon discovering the gateway to the [[PlanetHeck Old Chaos]] he had a cathedral built around it and acted as the first line of defence until he sensed the degradation of his own soul, at which point he gathered his best knights, left the kingdom to his queen and [[HeroicSacrifice threw himself into the Old Chaos to contain it.]]
** Yhorm the Giant in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' is described as having been one before becoming a Lord of Cinder. His ancestors had been ruthless conquerors but when the people his forefathers had subjugated asked for his aid in a war he led them into battle, protecting them behind his enormous shield.
** Lorian, also of ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', shows up in full armour, unlike his scholarly brother Lothric, and killed a Demon Prince. Unfortunately for him, the brothers' shared curse has rendered Lorian mute and possibly severely brain-damaged, although he and Lothric are still a ''Dark Souls'' boss fight, and so will essentially be difficult enough that you could build horseshoes out of them.
** The Dancer of the Boreal Valley, once a princess of a distant line from the throne, was apparently skilled enough with blades that Pontiff Sulyvahn gave her swords modelled after his own before conscripting her into the Outrider Knights. Unfortunately for both her and you, the Outrider Knights were a large-scale UriahGambit in which Sulyvahn exiled people who were inconvenient for him to go fight other countries and outfitted them with magical BodyHorror rings so they wouldn't come back, meaning that your response on seeing her is likely to be less "what a badass princess" and more "oh god oh god it moves so quickly ''why is this game so hard''".

** [[spoiler:Then there's his half-brother Alistair, your fellow Grey Warden. Since he's a party member, he's considerably better at it and if he takes the throne, he even gives the rallying speech before the Battle of Denerim.]]
** If you take the Dwarven Noble Origin, you briefly held the position of Commander of Orzammar's army before events force you to be exiled and join the Wardens.
** The Human Noble has shades of this, as does [[BadassFamily their family]]. It's even more the case if [[spoiler:a male Human Noble marries Queen Anora and become Prince-Consort, or if a female Human Noble romances Alistair and puts him on the throne, becoming Queen-Consort. In ''Awakening'', they have to cut their honeymoon period short and return to active duty as the new Warden-Commander of Ferelden.]]
** In the ''Awakening'' expansion, when a new Darkspawn threat emerges in Amarathine, the Warden (newly promoted to Warden-Commander) is made the new Arl of Amaranthine in order to combat the threat of the Darkspawn and rebuild the Arling in the wake of the Blight.
** Similarly in ''Awakening'', Nathaniel Howe has elements of this, attempting to redeem his family's sullied name.
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', Prince Sebastian Vael of Starkhaven, whose family was murdered and throne usurped, leaving him in exile. Depending on Hawke's relationship with him, he can be convinced to return to Starkhaven and retake the throne.
** Over the course of ''Dragon Age II'', Hawke becomes a noble in Kirkwall, the city's Champion and, depending on whether or not s/he supports the Templars, can even become the new Viscount/ess at the end of the game.
** While the Qunari do not believe in royalty, the Arishok's entire role as defined by the Qun could be considered this. Even the title "Arishok" can be variably translated as "One who struggles" or "Person of War".
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'':
*** The Prince of Midenhall, who is your party's most powerful physical fighter, literally jumps from his throne and sets off on a quest to defeat Hargon when he hears Moonbrooke has been destroyed.
*** The Prince of Cannock, albeit his [[JackOfAllStats skill is]] [[MasterOfNone split]] between fighting and magic.
*** The Princess of Moonbrooke is the party's weakest fighter but she is a good mage.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': Alena, the Tsarevna of Zamoksva and the strongest physical fighter among the playable characters.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': Unlike his father, Parry was born and raised as a prince, however he's also spent pretty much all of his life fighting and it shows.
** The Prince of Somnia in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI''. He leads the group that destroys all 4 Dread Fiends and the Archfiend, is the only person alive who can equip the legendary artifacts and is able to unlock the 'Hero' class much more easily than any other character, only needing to complete one of the four prerequisite classes.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'': As the true son of Sharkeye and Anais, [[spoiler:the Hero Auster]] inherits his mother's royal line.
* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has Poo, the crown prince of [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Dalaam]]. He's not only a warrior who's undergone [[BareFistedMonk martial training]], but a powerful [[PsychicPowers psychic]] who can generate [[AnIcePerson ice]] and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] with his mind. He's also one of the [[ChosenOne Chosen Four]] children who [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething saves the world]] from a BadFuture.
* Male heirs who are old enough, which in a monarchical government style are princes, can be brought in as generals for armies in ''VideoGame/EuropaUniversalis''.
* The heroine of the BeatEmUp game, ''VideoGame/AnEgyptianTale'', is the Pharaoh's daughter and a warrior princess fighting an evil cult worshipping Anubis, whom is responsible for her father's death. She gets to slice up over a hundred enemies throughout multiple stages, culminating in a final showdown with Anubis himself.
* ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'': Sharkungo isn't just the [[ProWrestlingIsReal Stare Lore]] champion, he's also Prince of the Shakun Star and doesn't hesitate to fight when the Dark Force army invades his planet.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** Gordon in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' becomes this after [[TookALevelInBadass Taking a Level in Badass]].
** Edge in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', not counting the warrior ''kings'' in other games. Also, Edward, for a given value of [[SpoonyBard "warrior"]].
** Every playable character except for Bartz/Butz in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', and several of the other main and secondary characters. Honestly, any royalty in FFV that ''isn't'' a Warrior Prince/Princess is being mind-controlled by the BigBad. Lenna and Krile in particular are a mix of this and RebelliousPrincess. [[spoiler:Faris/Sarisa zig-zags it a hair, though, as she's both not wholly aware of what she is at the start, and then is not really comfortable resuming her old position once it's discovered, having grown used to the life of a pirate.]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' gives us Sabin, a powerful Monk and twin brother of King Edgar of Figaro.
** Yuffie from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a mix of this and RebelliousPrincess.
** Ashe from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' she's actually waaaaaaay more efficient when she [[OneManArmy does NOT have troops]] to command. There's also Larsa, the young Prince of Archadia who joins your party at times and is quite a useful party member.
** Noctis from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' definitely counts, as he destroys whole platoons of soldiers to defend his kingdom and the crystals. As may his love interest Luna, although she might be more of a LadyOfWar.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has more warrior dukes and marquesses than anything, but it doesn't lack of warrior princes:
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem:'' Prince Marth of Altea, TheHero of both games, fights with his AncestralWeapon the Falchion. His love interest is Caeda, the pegasus knight princess of Talys, and his ally is the cavalier Prince Hardin of Aurelis, [[spoiler:though in the sequel, Hardin becomes the BrainwashedAndCrazy TragicVillain.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'': The second part of the game has the sword-fighting Prince Leif of Thracia[[note]]Who would get his own spotlight game in ''Videogame/FireEmblemThracia776''[[/note]], whose quest involves reclaiming his homeland from evil king Travant, and the swordsman Prince Shannan of the fallen Isaach, as well as [[spoiler:Prince Lewyn [[BlowYouAway the wind mage]] of Silesse, [[BackFromTheDead whose dead body]] the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon Forseti]] is possessing]]...plus [[spoiler:the EvilPrince half-brother of the main protagonist, Prince Julius [[CastingAShadow the dark mage]] of the [[{{cult}} Loptrian Empire]]]]. Finally, there's main protagonist Seliph. He's in a weird place where he's technically a ''duke'' (of the fallen duchy of Chalphy in Grannvale), but being the firstborn (and rightful) son of the last descendant of the royal family also makes him a prince.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'': Twins Prince Ephraim of Renais, whose side of the story has him learning that he cannot solve everything with fighting and Princess Eirika who learns she can't solve everything with diplomacy. Most of the other main characters are royalty of their respective nations.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': Prince Chrom of Ylisse, who's introduced as the leader of a small vigilante group known as "the Shepherds" [[spoiler:and midway through the game becomes the Exalt/King of Ylisse]]. [[spoiler:Lucina, being Chrom's daughter from the BadFuture]] also counts as a warrior princess (though [[spoiler:in her timeline it's implied Ylisse was overrun by Risen and destroyed and she makes no claim to it when she comes to the past because of the infant version of herself that already exists there takes precedence]]) and even [[spoiler:the Avatar themselves, technically, especially if specced for a more combat heavy role, since their father [[EvilSorcerer Validar]] becomes King of Plegia after Gangrel's defeat, though this isn't really touched upon in the story. If a female Avatar marries Chrom, you get a whole family of Warrior Princes and Princesses, since this will mean the Avatar's son Morgan becomes a Prince too.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has four warrior princes in the spotlight. In Hoshido, there's Ryoma and Takumi, who are a MasterSwordsman and [[ArcherArchetype archer]] respectively. In Nohr, there's [[BlackKnight Xander]] and [[MagicKnight Leo]]. Then there's the Avatar, who can be the prince of both nations. Any of these characters' male children are also this by default. The Female Avatar's child, Kana, stands out in particular due to [[spoiler:being the prince of three nations, Hoshido, Nohr, and Valla.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has Dimitri, crown prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, as the straightest example. Claude, heir to the leading house of the Leicester Alliance, is one in function, [[spoiler:and he's also a straight example since he's the crown prince of Almyra]]. Edelgard, crown princess of the Adrestian Empire, and Petra, crown princess of Brigid, are gender inversions. All of them fight on the front lines.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' introduces siblings Alfonse and Sharena, royalty of the kingdom of Askr, as well as members of the Order of Heroes on the frontlines of battle.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' does the sibling thing again with two new OriginalGeneration characters, one male one female.
* ''VideoGame/GameMasterPlus'': On the Fighter route, Elsa can recruit Lasse, a prince of Gardeth, as a party member who can wield axes and has a combination of offense and support skills.
* In ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'', Prince Amiti of Ayuthay [[InvokedTrope becomes an adventurer and joins your party]] in hopes that the [[LampshadeHanging experience will make him]] [[TheWisePrince a wiser prince]]. It works; he goes from [[TheIngenue painfully naiive]] to being [[CharacterDevelopment much more understanding]], and [[MagicKnight kicks some ass along the way]].
* Quite a lot of people in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'', in both 'verses. Archibald and Roland Ironfist are probably worth mentioning for being the first clear ones (canonically Roland more -- Archibald fought in the siege of his final stronghold for the final battle while Roland served as an Hero for his top field commander during the final battle, but it [[NoCanonForTheWicked would have been the other way around if Archibald had won the war]]).
* Though they never call him by the "prince" title, [[spoiler:Jak]] from ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' still fits the bill due to his royal heritage.
* Kameo from ''VideoGame/KameoElementsOfPower'' is an elven princess and the game's protagonist, though she mostly fights with help from the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting ten Elemental Warriors]] and their unique powers.
* King Mickey can save you in the hard boss battles, and is basically the Yoda of the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series.
** Kairi is one of the seven Princesses of Heart, but also wields the Keyblade and is one of if not the strongest non-Sora playable character in the ''Re Mind'' scenerio of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''.
* Princess Amelie, a demi-god princess, from ''VideoGame/KingsBounty'' will go to another dimension with only her skills and a pet dragon to gather a mighty army that can liberate her kingdom from marauding demons in ''King's Bounty: Armored Princess''
* King Graham in ''VideoGame/KingsQuest''; justified in the fact that he was a knight before becoming king. Alexander may also count -- although he's not really one for physical confrontation or battle, he's still accomplished some pretty badass feats, including quickly mastering many magical spells and ''riding Death's horse into the land of the dead''.
* Princess Naree from ''VideoGame/KrutTheMythicWings'', a princess of the Garuda tribe and a capable fighter on her own. She first appears as a MiniBoss in the Garuda stage, and after a DefeatMeansRespect moment she then joins your campaign, where she serves as a FrontlineGeneral for her men.
* ''VideoGame/LegendOfHeroes'' is a game set in Ancient China, where the Tang Dynasty Princess, Falan, uncovers an invasion plot and leads her three best soldiers to defeat the enemy forces before they can strike.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has a few examples:
** [[KnightInShiningArmor Jarvan Lightshield IV, the Exemplar of Demacia]], is one of the most capable (if [[LeeroyJenkins rash]]) knights of Demacia, and a very powerful tank-initiator in gameplay. He spent most of the game's life cycle as a prince, but following the mysterious death of his father, former King Jarvan III, [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething he's since ascended as the de facto leader of Demacia]].
** [[ProfessionalKiller Sivir, the Battle Mistress]], originally known as one of the best mercenaries in Shurima, was later revealed to be [[SecretLegacy the last living descendant of Azir, the last emperor of Shurima]] before the empire's fall ages ago, technically making her the empire's last princess. The newly-resurrected Azir wants her to join him in rebuilding Shurima to greatness, [[RefusalOfTheCall but she isn't remotely interested in such a title or a legacy.]]
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Another female example: Princess Zelda is shown in such a capacity in the flashback sequence of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. She combines it with LadyOfWar when she helps Link in the game's final battle.
** Prince Sidon of the [[FishPeople Zora]] from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. Years before the beginning of the game, he defended the fishers of Hateno Bay from a giant Octorok by stabbing through its innards when it swallowed him. During the main plot, he has Link ride on his back while the latter fires Shock Arrows at Divine Beast Vah Ruta. It's also mentioned (and shown in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'') that his late older sister Mipha was even greater warrior than him.
** All of them in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors''. Zelda, Ruto, and Midna are three princesses of defined kingdoms who are not afraid to fight on the front lines, risking life and limb to save their world. Agitha, although not of royal descent, is the self-proclaimed princess of the insect kingdom, and she too is willing to get her hands dirty to save Hyrule.
* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has Goro who is prince of the Shokan race, General of Outworld's armies, and 9 time champion of Mortal Kombat.
** The [[MakingASplash water controling]] Rain the purple ninja is a Music/{{Prince}}... [[ShoutOut get it?]] Though he is a particularly [[EvilPrince dickish example]] believing his heritage to Edenia gives him the right to rule Outworld with an iron fist. No wonder he and Goro get along.
** Kotal Khan was technically a prince for time though Shao Khan conquered his people, Kotal is so badass he is one who taught the Aztecs how to be brutal (oh and he has [[ThePowerOfTheSun sun powers]]). However, unlike Goro and Rain, Kotal can be considered ChaoticNeutral as he does care for citizens of Outworld and becomes their ruler after [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Mileena proved unsuitable]].
** Kitana is the princess of Edenia and a skilled fighter and assassin. In the original and rebooted timelines of the games, she led a rebellion to free Edenia from Shao Kahn's tyranny.
* ''VideoGame/OdinSphere'':
** Gwendolyn is the daughter of King Odin and is the best Valkyrie soldier in the army.
** Cornelius is the prince of the kingdom of Titania.
** Mercedes is the Fairy Princess who gains the strength to rule the fairies after her mother died.
** Velvet is the former princess of the Valentine kingdom who single-handedly battles to stop TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
%%**Cornelius ' becomes one by necessity. [[spoiler:Turns out Oswald, being his cousin, also counts as one]].
* Prince Tristan in the first and the second ''VideoGame/OgreBattle'' games.
* You control Prince Rhys of Landen in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIII'', and since the game is a GenerationalSaga, his future son and grandson are also princes in their playable time periods.
* The ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia''. Ironically, the main character of ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime Sands of Time]]'' is a prince by blood; the other protagonists just happen to have this title as a nickname, while the main character of ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia1'' becomes a Prince by marrying a Princess at the end. Ditto for Dastan in TheMovie, even though he's an adopted prince. Played completely straight for his older brothers, who all have {{royal blood}}. The eldest brother commands the army. The second brother leads the cavalry, while Dastan has a special squad perfect for infiltrating fortifications.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' series features a benevolent example in the Prince of Falena, the SilentProtagonist of the game, while ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' features the evil variety in the Prince of Highland, Luca Blight.
* The ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' loves this trope;
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' you have a warrior Princess in Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear, the heir apparent of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. She's one of (if not, by end game, the absolute best) the greatest archers in the world and uses her archery skills to protect her people. Technically, Luke [[spoiler:and by extension Asch]] is set to become the prince-consort of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear when Natalia ascends, as she intends to take him as her husband.
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'', you have Richard, Prince [[spoiler:and later King]] of Windor. While he prefers diplomacy, Richard is not against getting dirty to aid his people.
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', you have Estellise, Princess of the Empire.
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'', Alisha Diphda functions as a warrior princess. Interestingly, due to the fact she was not the first child in the family, she has virtually no hope of actually becoming Queen of Hyland, so she specifically sets out and uses her nobility to help her people in whatever way she can, especially if it involves using a spear.
* In ''VideoGame/TotalWar'', as your generals are all members of your royal family, this is commonplace.
** Except for ''VideoGame/EmpireTotalWar'' and ''VideoGame/NapoleonTotalWar'' (except for Napoleon himself post-crowning).
* ''VideoGame/NewLegends'' have you playing as Prince Sun-Soo of the Soo Kingdom (loosely based on the UsefulNotes/MingDynasty) and a capable fighter trying to reclaim your throne from a cruel tyrant who enslaved your people.
* Prince Gilgamesh from ''VideoGame/TheTowerOfDruaga''. Major bonus points for being able to climb up a tower, kill every monster in said tower, destroy the evil demon Druaga, save his lover Ki, and then go back down the tower!
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' is chock full of them:
** Prince Arthas Menethil of Lordaeron, from ''Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos'' until his FaceHeelTurn.
** Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider of Quel'thalas (although he uses magic) in the same game (who also had a FaceHeelTurn).
** [[spoiler:[[DoomedProtagonist Prince Liam Greymane]]]] in ''Cataclysm''. Also his sister Tess Greymane.
** Varian Wrynn as well as his son Anduin Wrynn (the latter using magic).
** Jaina Proudmoore, daughter of Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore (who also uses magic)
** Garrosh Hellscream, son of Warchief Grom Hellscream.
** Taelia Fordragon, daughter of Highlord Bolvar Fordragon (in ''Shadowlands'' -- Fordragon was never properly a faction leader until he [[spoiler:took leadership of the Ebon Blade after Sylvanas shattered the Helm of Domination and freed him from the Frozen Throne]]. He merely served as a regent during Classic because the aforementioned Anduin was too young to rule.
** Moira Bronzebeard, daughter of King Magni Bronzebeard (who also uses magic).
* Artos who becomes the 'Warrior King' in the single-player campaign for the computer game ''VideoGame/WarriorKings''. He starts off as the son of a powerful baron and when his dad is murdered at the command of the Big Bad of the game, Artos leads an uprising and conquers province after province eventually owning the entire empire in the name of vengeance and either scientific enlightenment, the One God or the tribal gods of the pagans. Artos is very much the picture of [[AuthorityEqualsAssKicking Authority Equals Ass Kicking]], barring the demons, the big bad and his 2nd, there is no unit more powerful than Artos and that's before he gains increased stats and new powers.
* Bart from ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' appears to be a pirate, but is really a prince in hiding.
* ''VideoGame/BarbarianTitus'': Keela is a warrior princess who has taken upon herself a mission to kill an EvilSorcerer who among other misdeeds nearly destroyed her father's domain.
* ''VideoGame/TwinGoddesses'' Nina and Syllin, the co-protagonists of the game, shortly after the murder of their father, the king, take it upon themselves to reclaim their family's domain.
* ''VideoGame/BattleForWesnoth'':
** The protagonist of ''Heir to the Throne'', Konrad, is a prince and rightful heir-to-the-throne who fights alongside his troops in their struggle against the usurper Queen Asheivere. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed that Konrad isn't the real Prince Konrad, but an orphan that Delfador raises to overthrow the tyrannical queen.]]
** The founder of Wesnoth, Haldric, spends his campaign ''The Rise of Wesnoth'' as a prince, even though his father King Eldaric IV of Stormvale dies early on, until he establishes Wesnoth and becomes its king. Like every campaign protagonist, he takes part in all of the battles in the campaign.
* In ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings 2'' your ruler automatically joins your commander roster, along with your marshal and your appointed commanders. Leading battles is dangerous though, and can get your ruler killed. [[DecadentCourt But sometimes this is exactly what you need]].
** If you are a high-ranked ruler (usually Grand-Duke or higher) the majority of your appointed commanders and your marshal will probably be landed nobles anyways, since rulers are usually better leaders than courtiers, due to better education, war or hunting focus and character modifiers.
* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'':
** The most prominent example in the entire franchise is Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight. As the ruler of mankind he led his Silver Knights into battle in the war against the everlasting dragons, and his lightning spears were key to mankind's victory as they pierced the NighInvulnerable scales of the dragons.
** The titular king of the ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' DLC ''Crown of the Ivory King'' was the strongest knight in the land of Forossa (a land of {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s known for their savagery on the battlefield) before becoming the king of Eleum Loyce, and was always the first to swing his sword in the defence of his kingdom and his people. Upon discovering the gateway to the [[PlanetHeck Old Chaos]] he had a cathedral built around it and acted as the first line of defence until he sensed the degradation of his own soul, at which point he gathered his best knights, left the kingdom to his queen and [[HeroicSacrifice threw himself into the Old Chaos to contain it.]]
** Yhorm the Giant in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' is described as having been one before becoming a Lord of Cinder. His ancestors had been ruthless conquerors but when the people his forefathers had subjugated asked for his aid in a war he led them into battle, protecting them behind his enormous shield.
** Lorian, also of ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', shows up in full armour, unlike his scholarly brother Lothric, and killed a Demon Prince. Unfortunately for him, the brothers' shared curse has rendered Lorian mute and possibly severely brain-damaged, although he and Lothric are still a ''Dark Souls'' boss fight, and so will essentially be difficult enough that you could build horseshoes out of them.
** The Dancer of the Boreal Valley, once a princess of a distant line from the throne, was apparently skilled enough with blades that Pontiff Sulyvahn gave her swords modelled after his own before conscripting her into the Outrider Knights. Unfortunately for both her and you, the Outrider Knights were a large-scale UriahGambit in which Sulyvahn exiled people who were inconvenient for him to go fight other countries and outfitted them with magical BodyHorror rings so they wouldn't come back, meaning that your response on seeing her is likely to be less "what a badass princess" and more "oh god oh god it moves so quickly ''why is this game so hard''".
* Prince Ariona Allant, aka Ostrava, from ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' counts, but it's stretched a bit as he needs rescuing two of the three times you meet him in the Boletarian Palace.
* Prince Laharl from ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness''.
* King Cailan of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' fits this trope... at least in ''his'' mind. He's particularly eager to battle the Darkspawn at the side of the Grey Wardens, like the kings featured in old stories, and is never seen out of his [[BlingOfWar massive suit of GOLD battle armour]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his first encounter with an Ogre doesn't go well for him.]]
** [[spoiler:Then there's his half-brother Alistair, your fellow Grey Warden. Since he's a party member, he's considerably better at it and if he takes the throne, he even gives the rallying speech before the Battle of Denerim.]]
** If you take the Dwarven Noble Origin, you briefly held the position of Commander of Orzammar's army before events force you to be exiled and join the Wardens.
** The Human Noble has shades of this, as does [[BadassFamily their family]]. It's even more the case if [[spoiler:a male Human Noble marries Queen Anora and become Prince-Consort, or if a female Human Noble romances Alistair and puts him on the throne, becoming Queen-Consort. In ''Awakening'', they have to cut their honeymoon period short and return to active duty as the new Warden-Commander of Ferelden.]]
** In the ''Awakening'' expansion, when a new Darkspawn threat emerges in Amarathine, the Warden (newly promoted to Warden-Commander) is made the new Arl of Amaranthine in order to combat the threat of the Darkspawn and rebuild the Arling in the wake of the Blight.
** Similarly in ''Awakening'', Nathaniel Howe has elements of this, attempting to redeem his family's sullied name.
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', Prince Sebastian Vael of Starkhaven, whose family was murdered and throne usurped, leaving him in exile. Depending on Hawke's relationship with him, he can be convinced to return to Starkhaven and retake the throne.
** Over the course of ''Dragon Age II'', Hawke becomes a noble in Kirkwall, the city's Champion and, depending on whether or not s/he supports the Templars, can even become the new Viscount/ess at the end of the game.
** While the Qunari do not believe in royalty, the Arishok's entire role as defined by the Qun could be considered this. Even the title "Arishok" can be variably translated as "One who struggles" or "Person of War".
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'':
*** The Prince of Midenhall, who is your party's most powerful physical fighter, literally jumps from his throne and sets off on a quest to defeat Hargon when he hears Moonbrooke has been destroyed.

** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'': As the true son of Sharkeye and Anais, [[spoiler:the Hero Auster]] inherits his mother's royal line.
* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has Poo, the crown prince of [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Dalaam]]. He's not only a warrior who's undergone [[BareFistedMonk martial training]], but a powerful [[PsychicPowers psychic]] who can generate [[AnIcePerson ice]] and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] with his mind. He's also one of the [[ChosenOne Chosen Four]] children who [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething saves the world]] from a BadFuture.
* Male heirs who are old enough, which in a monarchical government style are princes, can be brought in as generals for armies in ''VideoGame/EuropaUniversalis''.
* The heroine of the BeatEmUp game, ''VideoGame/AnEgyptianTale'', is the Pharaoh's daughter and a warrior princess fighting an evil cult worshipping Anubis, whom is responsible for her father's death. She gets to slice up over a hundred enemies throughout multiple stages, culminating in a final showdown with Anubis himself.
* ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'': Sharkungo isn't just the [[ProWrestlingIsReal Stare Lore]] champion, he's also Prince of the Shakun Star and doesn't hesitate to fight when the Dark Force army invades his planet.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** Gordon in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' becomes this after [[TookALevelInBadass Taking a Level in Badass]].
** Edge in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', not counting the warrior ''kings'' in other games. Also, Edward, for a given value of [[SpoonyBard "warrior"]].
** Every playable character except for Bartz/Butz in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', and several of the other main and secondary characters. Honestly, any royalty in FFV that ''isn't'' a Warrior Prince/Princess is being mind-controlled by the BigBad. Lenna and Krile in particular are a mix of this and RebelliousPrincess.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' gives us Sabin, a powerful Monk and twin brother of King Edgar of Figaro.
** Yuffie from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a mix of this and RebelliousPrincess.
** Ashe from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' she's actually waaaaaaay more efficient when she [[OneManArmy does NOT have troops]] to command. There's also Larsa, the young Prince of Archadia who joins your party at times and is quite a useful party member.
** Noctis from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' definitely counts, as he destroys whole platoons of soldiers to defend his kingdom and the crystals. As may his love interest Luna, although she might be more of a LadyOfWar.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has more warrior dukes and marquesses than anything, but it doesn't lack of warrior princes:
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem:'' Prince Marth of Altea, TheHero of both games, fights with his AncestralWeapon the Falchion.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'': The second part of the game has the sword-fighting Prince Leif of Thracia[[note]]Who would get his own spotlight game in ''Videogame/FireEmblemThracia776''[[/note]], whose quest involves reclaiming his homeland from evil king Travant, and the swordsman Prince Shannan of the fallen Isaach, as well as [[spoiler:Prince Lewyn [[BlowYouAway the wind mage]] of Silesse, [[BackFromTheDead whose dead body]] the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon Forseti]] is possessing]]...plus [[spoiler:the EvilPrince half-brother of the main protagonist, Prince Julius [[CastingAShadow the dark mage]] of the [[{{cult}} Loptrian Empire]]]].

Most of the other main characters are royalty of their respective nations.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': Prince Chrom of Ylisse, who's introduced as the leader of a small vigilante group known as "the Shepherds" [[spoiler:and midway through the game becomes the Exalt/King of Ylisse]]. [[spoiler:Lucina, being Chrom's daughter from the BadFuture]] also counts as a warrior princess (though [[spoiler:in her timeline it's implied Ylisse was overrun by Risen and destroyed and she makes no claim to it when she comes to the past because of the infant version of herself that already exists there takes precedence]]) and even [[spoiler:the Avatar themselves, technically, especially if specced for a more combat heavy role, since their father [[EvilSorcerer Validar]] becomes King of Plegia after Gangrel's defeat, though this isn't really touched upon in the story. If a female Avatar marries Chrom, you get a whole family of Warrior Princes and Princesses, since this will mean the Avatar's son Morgan becomes a Prince too.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has four warrior princes in the spotlight. In Hoshido, there's Ryoma and Takumi, who are a MasterSwordsman and [[ArcherArchetype archer]] respectively. In Nohr, there's [[BlackKnight Xander]] and [[MagicKnight Leo]]. Then there's the Avatar, who can be the prince of both nations. Any of these characters' male children are also this by default. The Female Avatar's child, Kana, stands out in particular due to [[spoiler:being the prince of three nations, Hoshido, Nohr, and Valla.]]
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has Dimitri, crown prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, as the straightest example. Claude, heir to the leading house of the Leicester Alliance, is one in function, [[spoiler:and he's also a straight example since he's the crown prince of Almyra]]. Edelgard, crown princess of the Adrestian Empire, and Petra, crown princess of Brigid, are gender inversions. All of them fight on the front lines.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' introduces siblings Alfonse and Sharena, royalty of the kingdom of Askr, as well as members of the Order of Heroes on the frontlines of battle.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' does the sibling thing again with two new OriginalGeneration characters, one male one female.
* ''VideoGame/GameMasterPlus'': On the Fighter route, Elsa can recruit Lasse, a prince of Gardeth, as a party member who can wield axes and has a combination of offense and support skills.
* In ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'', Prince Amiti of Ayuthay [[InvokedTrope becomes an adventurer and joins your party]] in hopes that the [[LampshadeHanging experience will make him]] [[TheWisePrince a wiser prince]]. It works; he goes from [[TheIngenue painfully naiive]] to being [[CharacterDevelopment much more understanding]], and [[MagicKnight kicks some ass along the way]].
* Quite a lot of people in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'', in both 'verses. Archibald and Roland Ironfist are probably worth mentioning for being the first clear ones (canonically Roland more -- Archibald fought in the siege of his final stronghold for the final battle while Roland served as an Hero for his top field commander during the final battle, but it [[NoCanonForTheWicked would have been the other way around if Archibald had won the war]]).
* Though they never call him by the "prince" title, [[spoiler:Jak]] from ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' still fits the bill due to his royal heritage.
* Kameo from ''VideoGame/KameoElementsOfPower'' is an elven princess and the game's protagonist, though she mostly fights with help from the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting ten Elemental Warriors]] and their unique powers.
* King Mickey can save you in the hard boss battles, and is basically the Yoda of the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series.
** Kairi is one of the seven Princesses of Heart, but also wields the Keyblade and is one of if not the strongest non-Sora playable character in the ''Re Mind'' scenerio of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''.
* Princess Amelie, a demi-god princess, from ''VideoGame/KingsBounty'' will go to another dimension with only her skills and a pet dragon to gather a mighty army that can liberate her kingdom from marauding demons in ''King's Bounty: Armored Princess''
* King Graham in ''VideoGame/KingsQuest''; justified in the fact that he was a knight before becoming king. Alexander may also count -- although he's not really one for physical confrontation or battle, he's still accomplished some pretty badass feats, including quickly mastering many magical spells and ''riding Death's horse into the land of the dead''.
* Princess Naree from ''VideoGame/KrutTheMythicWings'', a princess of the Garuda tribe and a capable fighter on her own. She first appears as a MiniBoss in the Garuda stage, and after a DefeatMeansRespect moment she then joins your campaign, where she serves as a FrontlineGeneral for her men.
* ''VideoGame/LegendOfHeroes'' is a game set in Ancient China, where the Tang Dynasty Princess, Falan, uncovers an invasion plot and leads her three best soldiers to defeat the enemy forces before they can strike.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has a few examples:
** [[KnightInShiningArmor Jarvan Lightshield IV, the Exemplar of Demacia]], is one of the most capable (if [[LeeroyJenkins rash]]) knights of Demacia, and a very powerful tank-initiator in gameplay. He spent most of the game's life cycle as a prince, but following the mysterious death of his father, former King Jarvan III, [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething he's since ascended as the de facto leader of Demacia]].
** [[ProfessionalKiller Sivir, the Battle Mistress]], originally known as one of the best mercenaries in Shurima, was later revealed to be [[SecretLegacy the last living descendant of Azir, the last emperor of Shurima]] before the empire's fall ages ago, technically making her the empire's last princess. The newly-resurrected Azir wants her to join him in rebuilding Shurima to greatness, [[RefusalOfTheCall but she isn't remotely interested in such a title or a legacy.]]
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Another female example: Princess Zelda is shown in such a capacity in the flashback sequence of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. She combines it with LadyOfWar when she helps Link in the game's final battle.
** Prince Sidon of the [[FishPeople Zora]] from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. Years before the beginning of the game, he defended the fishers of Hateno Bay from a giant Octorok by stabbing through its innards when it swallowed him. During the main plot, he has Link ride on his back while the latter fires Shock Arrows at Divine Beast Vah Ruta. It's also mentioned (and shown in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'') that his late older sister Mipha was even greater warrior than him.
** All of them in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors''. Zelda, Ruto, and Midna are three princesses of defined kingdoms who are not afraid to fight on the front lines, risking life and limb to save their world. Agitha, although not of royal descent, is the self-proclaimed princess of the insect kingdom, and she too is willing to get her hands dirty to save Hyrule.
* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has Goro who is prince of the Shokan race, General of Outworld's armies, and 9 time champion of Mortal Kombat.
** The [[MakingASplash water controling]] Rain the purple ninja is a Music/{{Prince}}... [[ShoutOut get it?]] Though he is a particularly [[EvilPrince dickish example]] believing his heritage to Edenia gives him the right to rule Outworld with an iron fist. No wonder he and Goro get along.
** Kotal Khan was technically a prince for time though Shao Khan conquered his people, Kotal is so badass he is one who taught the Aztecs how to be brutal (oh and he has [[ThePowerOfTheSun sun powers]]). However, unlike Goro and Rain, Kotal can be considered ChaoticNeutral as he does care for citizens of Outworld and becomes their ruler after [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Mileena proved unsuitable]].
** Kitana is the princess of Edenia and a skilled fighter and assassin. In the original and rebooted timelines of the games, she led a rebellion to free Edenia from Shao Kahn's tyranny.
* ''VideoGame/OdinSphere'':
** Gwendolyn is the daughter of King Odin and is the best Valkyrie soldier in the army.
** Cornelius is the prince of the kingdom of Titania.
** Mercedes is the Fairy Princess who gains the strength to rule the fairies after her mother died.
** Velvet is the former princess of the Valentine kingdom who single-handedly battles to stop TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
%%**Cornelius ' becomes one by necessity. [[spoiler:Turns out Oswald, being his cousin, also counts as one]].
* Prince Tristan in the first and the second ''VideoGame/OgreBattle'' games.
* You control Prince Rhys of Landen in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIII'', and since the game is a GenerationalSaga, his future son and grandson are also princes in their playable time periods.
* The ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia''. Ironically, the main character of ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime Sands of Time]]'' is a prince by blood; the other protagonists just happen to have this title as a nickname, while the main character of ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia1'' becomes a Prince by marrying a Princess at the end. Ditto for Dastan in TheMovie, even though he's an adopted prince. Played completely straight for his older brothers, who all have {{royal blood}}. The eldest brother commands the army. The second brother leads the cavalry, while Dastan has a special squad perfect for infiltrating fortifications.
* ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' series features a benevolent example in the Prince of Falena, the SilentProtagonist of the game, while ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' features the evil variety in the Prince of Highland, Luca Blight.
* The ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' loves this trope;
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' you have a warrior Princess in Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear, the heir apparent of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. She's one of (if not, by end game, the absolute best) the greatest archers in the world and uses her archery skills to protect her people. Technically, Luke [[spoiler:and by extension Asch]] is set to become the prince-consort of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear when Natalia ascends, as she intends to take him as her husband.
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'', you have Richard, Prince [[spoiler:and later King]] of Windor. While he prefers diplomacy, Richard is not against getting dirty to aid his people.
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', you have Estellise, Princess of the Empire.
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'', Alisha Diphda functions as a warrior princess. Interestingly, due to the fact she was not the first child in the family, she has virtually no hope of actually becoming Queen of Hyland, so she specifically sets out and uses her nobility to help her people in whatever way she can, especially if it involves using a spear.
* In ''VideoGame/TotalWar'', as your generals are all members of your royal family, this is commonplace.
** Except for ''VideoGame/EmpireTotalWar'' and ''VideoGame/NapoleonTotalWar'' (except for Napoleon himself post-crowning).
* ''VideoGame/NewLegends'' have you playing as Prince Sun-Soo of the Soo Kingdom (loosely based on the UsefulNotes/MingDynasty) and a capable fighter trying to reclaim your throne from a cruel tyrant who enslaved your people.
* Prince Gilgamesh from ''VideoGame/TheTowerOfDruaga''. Major bonus points for being able to climb up a tower, kill every monster in said tower, destroy the evil demon Druaga, save his lover Ki, and then go back down the tower!
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' is chock full of them:
** Prince Arthas Menethil of Lordaeron, from ''Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos'' until his FaceHeelTurn.
** Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider of Quel'thalas (although he uses magic) in the same game (who also had a FaceHeelTurn).
** [[spoiler:[[DoomedProtagonist Prince Liam Greymane]]]] in ''Cataclysm''. Also his sister Tess Greymane.
** Varian Wrynn as well as his son Anduin Wrynn (the latter using magic).
** Jaina Proudmoore, daughter of Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore (who also uses magic)
** Garrosh Hellscream, son of Warchief Grom Hellscream.
** Taelia Fordragon, daughter of Highlord Bolvar Fordragon (in ''Shadowlands'' -- Fordragon was never properly a faction leader until he [[spoiler:took leadership of the Ebon Blade after Sylvanas shattered the Helm of Domination and freed him from the Frozen Throne]]. He merely served as a regent during Classic because the aforementioned Anduin was too young to rule.
** Moira Bronzebeard, daughter of King Magni Bronzebeard (who also uses magic).
* Artos who becomes the 'Warrior King' in the single-player campaign for the computer game ''VideoGame/WarriorKings''. He starts off as the son of a powerful baron and when his dad is murdered at the command of the Big Bad of the game, Artos leads an uprising and conquers province after province eventually owning the entire empire in the name of vengeance and either scientific enlightenment, the One God or the tribal gods of the pagans. Artos is very much the picture of [[AuthorityEqualsAssKicking Authority Equals Ass Kicking]], barring the demons, the big bad and his 2nd, there is no unit more powerful than Artos and that's before he gains increased stats and new powers.
* Bart from ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' appears to be a pirate, but is really a prince in hiding.
* ''VideoGame/BarbarianTitus'': Keela is a warrior princess who has taken upon herself a mission to kill an EvilSorcerer who among other misdeeds nearly destroyed her father's domain.
* ''VideoGame/TwinGoddesses'' Nina and Syllin, the co-protagonists of the game, shortly after the murder of their father, the king, take it upon themselves to reclaim their family's domain.
