8 Times Video Game Enemies Went Places They Shouldn't

1. Enemy Randomiser Mods

If nothing else, one thing that console users can be jealous of compared to their PC gaming brothers and sisters is mods.

Fan-created content of all kinds exists for basically every single game out there, typically cosmetic in fashion as it’s the easiest thing to do. Some games lend themselves to a whole other ball game however, and are perfect for those that want to give themselves a whole new challenge.

Whether you’ve mastered the game or are a sadist (or both?), a variety of titles out there present a brand new way to play with the "enemy randomiser".

Everything you think you knew about enemy placement goes out the window. Where there once may have been a lonely zombie in Resident Evil REmake now exists a bloodthirsty Hunter.

Different games let you do slightly different things of course but the most brutal will even drop bosses where normal enemies once lay which is particularly brutal when you meet your final foe in the opening moments.

And because the randomisers present challenges via the unexpected, it’s not surprising that Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and now even Elden Ring have them. So, just in case you had mastered some of the toughest games on the market and you were looking for a new reason to tear your hair out: Why not try an enemy randomiser?
