10 Greatest Uses Of Mythological Creatures In Gaming History

There is no way that any discussion of the use of mythological characters in gaming could be complete without a mention of the God of War series. After all, the entire premise of the game is offering the player the opportunity to take on as many of these legendary characters as they can in gruesome battles to the death.

There are so many characters that could make this list from the game - especially as Kratos ends up killing most of them in epic boss encounters - but it is that first fight with the Hydra that really set the tone for the entire series and showed the player just what they would be up against during the course of the first game.

The encounter has such an impact because it is practically the first thing that you do in the game and Kratos has to do battle with multiple heads before he can finally encounter the King Hydra and kill it. There has never been a better use of a mythological character in gaming, as the sheer scale of the battle helps make it one of the most intense moments in gaming history.
