8 Tiny Video Game Enemies That OBLITERATED You

3. Facehuggers - Alien Franchise

While one might immediately think of the much larger, double-mouthed horror that is the Xenomorph when the words "Obliterated" and "Alien Franchise" are mentioned, there is another equally deadly opponent found within this library of games that is made even worse by the fact thanks to its tiny stature.

I'm speaking of course about the Facehuggers, the most "friendly" of the horrors found within the Alien video game franchise, and I use that term very loosely seeing as they see your warm squishy body as the perfect gestation pod for their eggs. Now as a well-armed and discipline marine, you'd think that dispatching these wispy hands would be an easy job, but their small size and quick rapid movements can make them hard to pin down.

Not helping matters is the fact that they're very rarely operating alone, and you're more than likely fighting them in poorly lit conditions with tonnes of obstacles for them to hide behind.

So it's not all that surprising to find yourself on the receiving end of their very firm handshake, and in many games, this is as good as an instant game over! How rough is that?! To receive such an almighty slap in the chops that your marine keels over and dies!

Special should out to Alien Ressurection in this department because while your hero would seemingly survive the attack, a small countdown timer appears in the top left-hand corner, and if you can't rid yourself of the parasite in time, a chest-burster would enact its namesake and burst through your ribcage like an eager drama student on the opening night through the curtains. Ouch.
