We start off with the iconic Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII. All hail the queen.

If "kick-ass" were to be personified, you'd get Ellie from The Last of Us. 'Nuff said.

Ryu and Ken who? True fans know Chun-Li is the GOAT Street Fighter character.

Lara. Croft. That's it; no introduction or description needed for this legend.

Jill Valentine. Capable of dismantling an evil zombie-producing corporation while simultaneously battling said zombies.

Bayonetta wowed us all with her insane combos, gun-heels, and demon-fighting hair. She's unapologetically badass.

An intergalactic bounty hunter, Samus Aran didn't just pave the way for female protagonists in gaming; she set the bar.

Undeniably, Cortana is THE reason for Master Chief's heroics. She's more than earned herself a spot on our list!

Relatively new to the scene, Aloy's place among the all-time greats is already solidified. Cybernetic dinos be damned.

Only D.Va is shown, but all 15 heroines are distinctly badass and lovable. The diverse women of Overwatch make the list!
