From low budget to high budget ones; Game producers sometimes manage to deeply impress us game lovers, even with small details. Although the game over screen in games seems to be ignored, we can actually encounter some strategies to prevent us from losing.
Failure in games is actually not an end but a new beginning. In this content, we have brought together the “game over” scenes that are unforgettable for us in the game world.
Best game over screens:
- Zombie Army 4: Dead War
- Batman: Arkham
- Alan Wake 2
- The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
- Ninja Gaiden (1988)
- The Binding of Isaac
- Mortal Kombat 4
What happens if Nazi zombies disappoint us? Zombie Army 4: Dead War
Set in an alternative world, Zombie Army 4 is actually what we are familiar with from most co-op games; We control characters fighting against zombie hordes with various missions.
When we lose the game; Since we are defeated by zombies, we turn into zombies and continue the game as an NPC (non-player character) on the “game over” screen.
The “Batman: Arkham” series, which shapes the industry with its gameplay, also keeps us glued to the screen with its game over screen.
The “Batman: Arkham” series, which has gained a solid place in the gaming world and is even described as the ‘ancestor’ of some popular games today, in each game, whichever enemy you are on; When you lose, he accompanies us with special dialogues and scenes.
Alan Wake 2, described by many as the scariest game of recent times
Alan Wake 2, which was released in recent months, managed to receive full points from the players in general. 13 years after the first game, in this game, which aims to reflect the “horror” theme rather than the action-thriller genre, the game over screen is really quite scary.
As we said in the introduction, the “game over” screens are actually a new beginning, but we must give everything we have to avoid experiencing that new beginning in Alan Wake 2. Seriously, we have everything…
Is it really family friendly? The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
What happens if we don’t use the ocarina and become the hero of the time in Zelda, which is popularly known as a family-friendly series? We may be treated to a brutal game over screen showing the Moon crashing into land and destroying every structure.
Based on the video you watched, is it possible to say that The Legend of Zelda is a family-friendly series? We leave the decision to you.
The legend of arcade machines: Ninja Gaiden (1988)
If you have credits on Ninja Gaiden (1988), the oldest game on our list, good on you. I said credit, but let’s expand on this: In the arcade machines of the time, if you put a coin into the machine, you had the chance to continue the game.
The biggest reason retro games were difficult was that developers wanted players to spend more money to beat their games. At that time, the continuation screens were simple; Ninja Gaiden showed us the horrific death of our character who was tied up by his enemy.
Yes, if you don’t put in another coin you will be presented with the dreaded “game over” screen!
The Binding of Isaac, an indie roguelike game
In rogue-like games, after encountering the inevitable end, we may have to go back to the place where we died to collect your items and lost XP (experience points).
In The Binding of Isaac, on the game over screen, we encounter a very sweet and funny diary entry.
Mortal Kombat 4 is a game that a generation is addicted to, going to their friends’ houses and not leaving their heads for hours.
Mortal Kombat, the legend of years; It is famous for its gameplay like Fatality and Brutality. But these aren’t the only brutal things in Mortal Kombat 4.
In MK4’s game over screen, the losing character falls into a well with a trap at the bottom, after a 10-second fall. Unless of course you choose to continue.
Of course, there are many different “game over” screens, but we have presented you with a list of the ones we like the most. Which one was your favorite among these?
