10 Video Games That Let You Steal Your Enemies' Powers

10. ApocaFist - Saints Row: The Third

Gang wars are a big part of the Saints Row series (well, until it gets to fighting aliens and devils, that is). Each of the original three games features a gallery of uniquely themed gangs that the Saints need to defeat to drive them out of the city, but Saints Row: The Third pushes this concept even further by not only letting you claim their territory but also their weapons and powers.

Whenever you defeat the bosses of the three gang factions in Steelport, you gain access to their headquarters, their members, and finally their weapons. These unlocks aren't just aesthetic, as the new weapons come with their own mechanics and stats, giving you new abilities to use in your crusade through the city.

Defeating the leader of the Deckers gives you access to his gang's neon swords, and bringing down Bane, the leader of the Luchadores, even lets you steal his signature move, the Apoca-Fist, which immediately explodes the people you punch into a million bloody pieces.

The system makes progressing through the game an absolute joy and ensures you always have something new and fun to play with.
