10 Video Game Deaths You Couldn't Avoid

With a game called the Clash at Demonhead, it's likely very clear that demons are going to be a big problem for you.

But, since most unbeatable bosses appear at the start of the game, you also likely don't expect to get your ass kicked in the middle of the game. And yet you very much do, in the form of a one-eyed demon that's the boss of route 15. Said boss will mock you, and then tear you to small pieces within the blink of an eye.

This is because you aren't supposed to beat this boss, but instead be humbled by it. Having gotten murked by a pink eye, you realise that you need a secret weapon, and set off the find the Sword of Apollo so you can have your revenge.

Since character death wasn't a thing often used in sidescrollers for plot purposes - but rather just to take a life off you - this decision made Clash at the Demonhead stand out among them, no doubt leading to the name being later used for a band in the iconic Scott Pilgrim series.
