History OurAngelsAreDifferent / VideoGames

** Lauriel is the classic example of a normally winged angel, which is also compounded with the fact that she's a premiere AngelicBeauty that is not afraid to show how she looks like: {{Stripperiffic}} outfit (she just needs a metal bra, and long flowing robes that still has holes to show that she DoesNotLikeShoes) with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold. Instead of protecting others, however, she's focused on obliterating whatever she deemed wicked with [[LightEmUp the power of holy light]], although she tries her best to be an example of LightIsGood.

* ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'': Two OptionalBoss battles are perverse versions of Seraphim and Cherubim, and then the ultimate fusion/{{Superboss}} Seraphic Radiance takes this to new heights.

** Sankta also have an unusual trait in that they can only be born from a union of two Sankta, [[InterspeciesRomance and a Sankta/non-Sankta union]] will only produce children of the non-Sankta race. This is important in the ''Guide Ahead'' side story, as Cecilia is [[spoiler: a Sankta child of a Sarkaz father and Sankta mother]], which is supposed to be impossible.

** They have haloes and small wings made of light, and tend to be highly religious. They also possess an empathic HiveMind, allowing them to detect the emotions and metnal state of other Sankta. Other than that, they're ordinary flesh-and-blood humanoids with no connection to the spiritual realm or the afterlife, and their [[PlanetOfHats nation's Hat]] is the [[GunNut advancement of firearm techology]].

** WordOfGod is that Gardevoir is based on an angel, though it has no wings and looks more like some sort of ballerina elf. It's also in the "indeterminate" egg group (the one populated by ghosts, sentient sludge, and electric eels) in addition to the "human-like" one, implying that while it ''looks'' human, [[MonstrousHumanoid it's something very otherworldly]].

* ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'': Two [[BonusBoss optional boss battles]] are perverse versions of Seraphim and Cherubim, and then the ultimate fusion/BonusBoss Seraphic Radiance takes this to new heights.

* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'': Archangels are actually [[AscendedDemons former demons that went against their purpose of ruination and destruction]] by their original creator, [[spoiler: [[BigBad Xenos]]]]. The first of said angels was none other than [[spoiler: Metatron,]] who wanted to protect and create rather than destroy, and more soon-to-be angels followed. However, despite these contrasting originals to stereotypical angels, there are {{Fallen Angel}}s like Azazel who are cast aside for opposing the Ilian Church the other Archangels protect and serve.

* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': The Sankta race is angel-inspired. They have haloes and small wings made of light, and tend to be religious. Other than that, they're ordinary flesh-and-blood humanoids with no connection to the spiritual realm or the afterlife, and their [[PlanetOfHats nation's Hat]] is the [[GunNut advancement of firearm techology]].

* A deva (a lower-ranking angel) also plays a major role in ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment''. His sobriquet of Trias the [[spoiler:Betrayer]] says all you need to know, really.

** WordOfGod is that Gardevoir is based on an angel, though it has no wings and looks more like some sort of ballerina elf.

* Angels in ''{{VideoGame/Lusternia}}'' are extraplanar entities that dwell on the beautiful plane of [[{{Arcadia}} Celestia]]. They are essentially baby versions of the [[PhysicalGod Elder Gods]] that - with the departure of the resident creator deity - will never grow to adulthood, and so spend their time helping out the city of [[LawfulGood New Celest]], via advice and angelic companions.

* ''VideoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'': Angels are divine winged beings from Heaven, but they have energy wings instead of feathered avian wings. While Greater and Supreme Angels are humanoids born in Heaven (like Gabriel), Lesser Angels (such as Virtues) are abstract beings made from [[WasOnceAMan human souls]], making them Heaven's equivalent to Hell's [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Husks]].

** [[Wingedhumanoid An angels power is tied to their wings]]. If they were to have their wings stripped from them, which has happened to nearly all of them save for [[spoiler: Sandalphon, Halluel, and Malluel]], they lose control of their powers and their respective elements suffer as a result, such as islands falling out of the sky when Uriel lost access to his wings. It is also heavily implied that there are many primarchs that don't govern over certain elements after the appearance of Halluel and Malluel, who are described as messenger angels and keepers of vast knowledge, though they are strongly associated with the light element.
