9 Badass Female Game Heroes That Changed Everything

2. Clementine (The Walking Dead)

There was always that encroaching feeling that Clementine was going to play a far larger role following the events of the first season of the Walking Dead games, and come the end of said season, we were right. The WD games remain some of the most nerve-wracking and genuinely harrowing experiences you'll ever have with interactive entertainment, especially being they deliberately deal in moral grey areas, dishing out scenarios that nearly always come down to "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." Clem though - following all the training she received from Lee in season one - has evolved into a young girl who will do whatever's necessary to survive in the zombie-infested wastelands. Although you do have some control over how she's perceived by the other characters in terms of dialogue options and actions, many secondary characters have come to rely and somewhat depend on her. She's still the youngest female protagonist ever seen in a mainstream game, and the fact that she can hold her own against a horde of zombies means Clem is easily one of the strongest female protagonists in games. Here's to the season two finale and hoping she makes it out alive!
