Magical Girl Warriors are common in Video Games.


  • Pecan Apple of Banzai Pecan, also doubling as a Henshin Hero.
  • Yunou of Crescent Pale Mist is a magician who uses a deadly and forbidden form of magic known as Pale Mist to battle the dangerous monsters and her former comrades as she seeks to put an end to the source of the Pale Mist that's seeping throughout the country of Gasyukal.
  • Leanna of Crystalline is a "Mage-Knight", meaning she's skilled with both magic and her sword.
  • EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce has Ruritia and the other Hikari Warriors, Magical Girls, high schoolers who, with the powers granted to them by the Rainbow Princess, transform to fight the Yami Clan. Three of them are inheritors of magical swords and all are comfortable melee combatants.
  • Mystica from Fading Hearts. Ryou meets her in the forest while he is fighting shadow monsters.
  • In Fire Emblem Fates, Odin's daughter Ophelia can be very easily considered as the Fire Emblem take on this trope. She's very cute-looking (and bouncy), very flashy in battle, and very dedicated to her role as a Black Magician Girl and to protect her family and friends.
  • Galaxy Fraulein Yuna is a teen celebrity/Idol Singer who is tasked with saving the entire universe from the forces of Darkness as the Savior of Light.
  • How To Date A Magical Girl! has magical girls whose role are to banish evil, but it's downplayed; as evil occurs more rarely, they spend the majority of their time contributing to society instead.
  • This is the main premise of I=MGCM, a fanservicey game for PC and smartphone (there’s an official NSFW version for it). The game features twelve girls who are chosen to be magical girls by Kamisaman, a mysterious girl genius who appears to have invented Kamisaman System, and the player protagonist Tobio to fight human-devouring demons who have emerged on Earth and The Multiverse. Tobio interacts with the world through a Remote Body named Omnis, a Mentor Mascot who guides and scouts the new magical girl members.
  • Joan of Arc herself in Jeanne d'Arc, being a Lady of War who transforms into her armored form thanks to her magic armlet.
  • Magical Warrior Diamond Heart, a visual novel featuring magical girls and magical boys.
  • The Shinobi in Senran Kagura take pride as ninja warriors, but with all the Costume Porn (Which is susceptible to Clothing Damage), attack name screaming and the TransformationSequences, they're really more Magical Girl than warrior. (Although most of them are badasses in their own right.) This is most evident in Deep Crimson, the only game where the girls fight monsters instead of each other.
  • Nearly everyone in Touhou Project. The only characters who don't have some sort of magical combat ability (e.g., Akyu and Rinnosuke) only appear in the Expanded Universe or one-off games (e.g., Rika and Rikako). Deliberately invoked by Marisa, who uses a Flying Broomstick (even though she, like everyone in Gensokyo, can fly unaided) and always wears a comically-large witch hat because that's what Cute Witches are supposed to do, which doesn't detract at all from her passion for huge explosions.
  • Perhaps as a way to appeal to the anime crowd, the female Wizard in Diablo III seems to be inspired by this, being an Asian-looking magic warrior with many anime-style attacks like swarms of missiles and giant laser beams, and many armor sets that give her Zettai Ryouiki.
  • In Lost Ruins the nameless Heroine can eventually become one. Her default outfit is a serafuku, with the others being a Meido outfit and a School Swimsuit, she can get a magical-girl styled wand as a weapon, and can get a combination of accessories that give her so much mana regen that she has pretty much unlimited magic.
  • Deliberately invoked by Annie of the Stars in Skullgirls. Eternally young, she lets the stories about herself serve as a beacon of heroism and inspiration for the world, and in-game, she has Super Cute Superpowers and even a Transformation Sequence Super Mode. The years have made the actual woman behind the legends a lot more cynical than she lets on, though.
  • When Yuko Asou wields the Valis Sword, she goes from Ordinary High-School Student to a deadly warrior fighting for the fates of Earth, Dreamland and the spirit world to protect them from various otherworldly threats. Valis IV sees her relinquishing her duties to a young woman named Lena.
