Video game enemies don’t always have to be ugly or scary. In fact, these games are known for having some of the cutest enemies in the world of video games.
Most people think that enemies in most games have to be horrible-looking monsters that players can just beat to death without caring about anything else. Even though this is true most of the time, you can’t deny that not all video games have creepy or dark art. In fact, there are a lot of games for kids or games that play with expectations where the bad guys end up being cute.
This could put players in a tough spot because these enemies look so cute that they might not want to hurt them. Luckily, it only takes one good hit from one of these cute-looking enemies to bring players back to reality and remind them that they need to stay alive at all costs, even if that means beating an enemy that looks like the softest thing in the world.
Undertale
Undertale is one of the best-known independent games ever. It goes against almost every RPG trope and punishes players who fight and kill monsters instead of making friends with them.
So, it’s easy to see that most of the monsters in Undertale have designs that are cute and endearing. This makes it hard for players to even hit them. Most of the monster designs in Undertale have become famous in their own right and are one of the best parts of the game as a whole.
Omori
Omori is another great game that comes to mind when you talk about independent RPGs. Even though the game looks cute, it has some pretty dark themes and is not for people who are easily scared.
Most of Omori’s monsters live in Headspace, which is the main character’s mind. Most monsters are pretty cute, but the different kinds of bunnies are especially adorable.
Earthbound
Most players who like the new wave of quirky indie RPGs that have come out in the indie gaming market owe it to themselves to play Earthbound. The game came out at a time when JRPGs had to have ideas that changed the world and villains who wanted to take over or destroy the whole world.
So, it was a bit strange to see how limited Earthbound was, with players going through pretty normal landscapes and fighting enemies that were nothing special. Some of these enemies are so cute that it would be a shame to kill them.
Pokemon
You can’t talk about games with cute and unique enemies without bringing up Pokemon. The whole point of this role-playing game is to explore the world and catch as many Pokemon as you can to make a nice collection.
So, it goes without saying that most of these Pokemon have cute designs that make them even cuter. Even the weirdest-looking Pokemon have something cute about them that makes them worth catching.
Super Mario Bros.
The Super Mario Bros. series is one of the best-known and most popular series of platform games ever made. The games are full of fun challenges that are fun to beat, and there are lots of enemies along the way of each level.
Most of the enemies in Super Mario Bros. have become pretty well-known in their own right, thanks in part to how cute they look. Even the ghost enemies called Boos are kind of cute, which is enough to show how cute the enemies in this series are.
Dragon Quest
There was a time when the Dragon Quest series was just a bunch of boring JRPGs where the goal was always to save the world from some unknown evil. Over time, the series got more complicated, and the designs of the enemies also changed in a big way.
Slimes, one of the most famous enemies in the Dragon Quest games, are a great example of how cute the enemies were made to look. Dragon Quest 11 is by far one of the most popular games in the series. This means that new fans can play older games in the series to see what made them so great.
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy is one of the most well-known JRPG series, so it would be silly not to mention it. The games have gotten more mature over time, but the enemies in the series still look the same as they did when they first came out.
Some of the most common enemies in Slope Game, like Cactuars and Tonberries, are pretty cute. It’s funny that these enemies look so cute, since they can be very dangerous if the party isn’t ready to deal with them.
Spore
When Spore was announced, people were very excited about it. The people who made The Sims had a lot of hopes for this game, and it’s a shame that Spore didn’t live up to all the hype.
But people who play Spore without knowing about the world will find that it is a very unique game indeed. The fact that some of the creatures in this game can be cute helps and adds to the overall fun of the game.
Kirby
Kirby’s name was bound to come up when people talked about cute enemies in video games. The main character is the perfect example of a cute video game character, and the enemies are just as cute.
Every enemy in Kirby is so cute that players might want to squash them instead of fighting them. The good news is that most Kirby games aren’t hard, so players will have plenty of time to mess around with these enemies before they have to get serious.
Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher is one of the cutest games out there, which is obvious from the name. Slimes look different in most video games, but Slope Game gives them a cuter look.
Even the Tarr, who are the enemy of all slime ranchers, are cute in their own way. Players can even tame these creatures instead of beating them up if they are smart.
