10 Most Iconic Families in Video Game History

The Olympic Gods (God of War)

Recommended Videos

Regardless of the genre, the Olympic Gods have always been a colorful group, featuring plenty of competitiveness amongst their family, as well as a lot of bastard demigod children. 

For the God of War version of this family, these traits are ever prevalent – so much so that they even lead to the family’s demise. 

In a quest for vengeance and revenge, the series’ main character, Kratos, battles and kills the illustrious Gods in a lot of epic, rage-induced battles.

It isn’t long before Kratos finds out that he is a member of this big happy family, as it turns out he is the demigod child of Zues.

Yet another example on this list of a prestigious family filled to the brim with strife between blood related kin.
