History AmazonChaser / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/ThirteenSentinelsAegisRim'': [[TheCasanove Shu Amiguchi]] falls in love with Yuki Takamiya, the brusque, {{Tomboy}} [[JapaenseDelinquents delinquent]]. Even hearing that she put three guys in the hospital does nothing to quell his interest.

* ''VideoGame/FZero X'' gives us [[ActionGirl Jody Summer]] and [[AmazonianBeauty Mrs. Arrow]]. The former was the quite the LittleMissBadass in her youth [[note]]her accomplishments, [[Characters/FZeroX listed here]], would put many to shame[[/note]] and retained her merits as an adult. Jody is a highly capable fighter pilot, earning her the admiration and respect of her peers in the Galactic Space Federation (most of all, [[DoggedNiceGuy John Tanaka]]). Mrs. Arrow, on the other hand, may possibly be one of ''the'' best racers in the series, earning her the friendship of [[{{Superhero}} Super Arrow]] when he tried to resurrect the F-Zero League, a relationship that [[RelationshipUpgrade eventually resulted in him]] [[HappilyMarried popping the question]]. ''GX'' implies that they don't just [[BattleCouple race together]], but that she even assists Super Arrow in keeping the peace [[BadassNormal despite having no powers of her own]].

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate3'': Shadowheart practically swoons if she's in the party when you first meet Karlach.

* Invoked in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' when Dante meets ActionGirl Lady. She almost runs him over twice with her CoolBike and even shoots a missile ([[RidingTheBomb which he rides]]) at him, but his reaction is simply whooping with glee at the latter and when she leaves the room he declares "This just keeps getting better and better". He also shows immense excitement while fighting Lady later on. Given Dante's win quote againist [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]] in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' is literally "Mmm, baby. I love it when a girl gets violent" this is hardly surprising.

* Garen, the Demacian General of ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', seems to be attracted to Katarina, of the rival faction Noxius, because of her prowess on the battlefield. It's also very likely an in-joke to the fact that they both have similar methods of fighting, at least in the sense that their respective signature skills involve [[SpinAttack spinning their own bodies at intense speeds]].

** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', Prince Xander is specifically stated to be one of these and it shows in some of his romantic supports: he rejects the GoldDigger Charlotte when she openly sucks up to him but is impressed when she protects him by ''ripping a monster with her bare hands'', chose Peri as his subordinate when he saw her fighting potential in a joust, and proposed to Belka like this:
-->'''Beruka:''' "Milord, I...I'm so happy to hear those words from you. But...is someone like me, an assassin, truly a worthy queen of Nohr?"
-->'''Xander:''' "Of course. In fact, you are the perfect fit. Nohr needs a queen who is familiar with the dark side of life, not just the light. So tell me, Beruka—what do you say? I eagerly await your answer..."
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEchoesShadowsOfValentia'', the LadyOfWar Mathilda's biggest admirer is her boyfriend Clive. He tells her clearly in their supports that her fighting skills "make his heart soar", encourages her to fight her hardest, and strives to be the bet fighting partner possible for her.
-->[[InLoveWithYourCarnage "Now go forth and tear the enemy apart like the beautiful war maiden you are."]]

* Sun-King Avad in ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' is revealed to have had a thing for [[spoiler:Ersa, the posthumous captain of his Vanguard and sister of his current captain Erend]], and specifically lists her being "strong, shrewd and capable" as reasons he was attracted to her. He also develops a crush on [[PlayerCharacter Aloy]], who can call him out on the fact that he obviously see's her as a ReplacementGoldfish to [[spoiler:Ersa]].

* Invoked in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' when Dante meets ActionGirl Lady. She almost runs him over twice with her CoolBike and even shoots a missile ([[RidingTheBomb which he rides]]) at him, but his reaction is simply whooping with glee at the latter and when she leaves the room he declares "This party just keeps getting better and better". He also shows immense excitement while fighting Lady later on.

* In the backstory of ''Them's Fighting Herds'', Blitzen was scornful of [[GlassCannon Velvet]]'s fastidiousness and scrawny body- until she [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] him with ice magic far beyond the other reindeers' abilities. He actually fell in love with her while he was still lying in the dirt.

-->'''Solas:'''You strengthen your body to deliver and withstand punishment. The muscles are an enjoyable side benefit.
-->'''Lavellan:''' ''(choosing 'Side benefits?' option)'' You find the muscles enjoyable?
-->'''Solas:''' I meant that you enjoyed having them, presumably.
-->'''Lavellan:''' Oh.
-->'''Solas:''' But… Yes. Since you asked.

* The protagonist can potentially be this in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''. Of the seven[[note]]technically eight, but two of the girls are mutually exclusive[[/note]] romantic interests, four are members of the Investigation team, and three of them get right out on the battlefield kicking Shadow ass alongside the protagonist. This trope is a little more prominent with Naoto Shirogane (a pistol-packing {{bifauxnen}} KidDetective), though the romance branch sees the player encouraging her more feminine side), but is strongest with Chie Satonaka, the team's TomboyWithAGirlyStreak. The player even has a choice to profess admiration/appreciation of her BigEater habits if she takes them on a date for the second day of the Summer Festival.

* Subdued example in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'', during the end of the game Cloud after fighting Rufus is [[HangingByTheFingers dangling from a girder]] and is about to fall, when Tifa runs in pulling off a badass slide and catches Cloud JustInTime holding up his entire body weight [[SuperStrength with one arm]]. Cloud's usually stoic expression upon seeing Tifa save him goes from wide-eyed "Holy shit!" to a warm smile.

** In ''{{VideoGame/Persona 3}}'', it's subtly implied that a strong woman, both physically and mentally, is [[BigManOnCampus Akihiko Sanada's]] type. His potential romance with the female protagonist in the Playstation Portable version initially buds from his admiration of her as a leader, he hits it off with Chie in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', and during a humorous event about finding "the one" in ''VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth'', two of the P3MC's dialogue options allude to this - one has him mention that his "dream girl" is one who can keep up with his rigorous training, and another has him react with surprise and joy that "buff girls" (the option being "find a buff girl") exist.

* Invoked in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' when Dante meets ActionGirl Lady. She almost runs him over twice with her CoolBike and even shoots a missile ([[RidingTheBomb which he rides]]) at him, but his reaction is simply whooping with glee at the latter and when she leaves the room he declares "This party just keeps getting better and better". He also shows immense excitement Lady while fighting her later on.

* {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/TombRaider2013''. Alex, the nerdy techie of the ''Endurance'' expedition, apparently had something of a crush on Lara very early on, long before the mess started and her development into an ActionGirl, but after seeing this change in her personality himself, he began to worry that she wouldn't notice him. [[spoiler:So, in a bewildering case of LoveMakesYouStupid, he attempts to impress her by volunteering to go looking for tools on the shipwrecked ''Endurance'' alone to prove himself, which just gets him caught by the cultists and eventually killed]].

** One of the reasons why Sie Kensou likes Athena is that she's quite the BadassAdorable, according to his win quotes against her in ''XIII'' and ''XIV''. He's also impressed by Leona's looks in '''XIII''' and by Luong's HeroicSeductress charms in ''XIV'''

It's also very likely an in-joke to the fact that they both have similar methods of fighting, at least in the sense that their respective signature skills involve spinning their own bodies at intense speeds.

*** ''DAII'' also has Aveline, whom Donnic definitely thinks is attractive. Amusingly, it takes a long time for Donnic to get that Aveline's also interested because [[CannotSpitItOut romance is the one place her backbone gives out]].

** One questline in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' One questline involves the player attempting to put together an arranged marriage in order to unite the Wildhammer Dwarf clans. At first, the groom-to-be, Keegan Firebeard, admits that the intended bride, Fanny Thundermar, is quite attractive by Dwarven standards, but he's still unsure. Then, Fanny gets captured by ogres, and Keegan decides to help in the efforts to rescue her, but by the time he arrives, [[RedundantRescue Fanny had already beaten the living crap out of the three gigantic, fully-armed and armored ogres that were guarding her]] ''[[RedundantRescue using only her bare hands]]'', [[RedundantRescue and was just waiting to be picked up]]. After that point, the wedding can't happen fast enough for Keegan.

* Creator/BioWare trots out this trope frequently: part of the reason [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Carth Onasi]], [[VideoGame/JadeEmpire Sky]], [[Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic Corso Riggs, Felix Iresso, Malavai Quinn, and Torian Cadera]] are smitten with the respective female {{PlayerCharacter}}s is because they've seen how amazing the gals are in a brawl and openly admit it in the dialogue. With Torian, it's even more justified, since he's a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Mandalorian]]. In their culture, marriage and family are very SeriousBusiness (even more so than the rest of galactic society) - a woman who can kick ass is the ''only'' kind that's worthy of settling down with and raising a new generation of warriors.
