As great as it is to play as overpowered characters, there are some who cross the line into being disgustingly strong. Case in point: These are 10 video game characters that are way too overpowered.
Kratos (God of War)
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade and a half, Kratos’ inclusion on a list of overpowered video game characters shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
Across the span of God of War’s first trilogy of games, Kratos’ schtick basically boiled down to tracking down gods and mythical beings, pummeling them into paste and then moving onto whichever one was next in line on his path of destruction.
Again, that’s literal Gods that he was hunting down one after the other. You couldn’t really call these struggles on Kratos’ part either.
Sure, he’d be in danger at times, but he also went into most every fight with the inherent ability to rip beings of creation limb from limb – literally, in more than a few cases – and then incorporate their powers into his own moveset.
And that’s only the first trilogy. In the latest game, which sees him humanized and aged in a new world and mythology, he can brutalize everything from immortals to the spirits of the frozen damned, barely batting an eye at what is posited as the rulers of their realm.
It’s anyone’s guess how long he’ll be able to keep this up, but for the time being, there’s no sign of this force of destruction finding an equal in his world or the next.
