Games where you can play as demons?

I have a fetish for Demons. Mighty infernal beings, enemies of all good, lead by their Unholy Sovereign. It started when I discovered world of Fantasy at age 9 and played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 at the first time, namely Heroes Chronicles campaigns. Inferno faction seemed for me so cool, so edgy, I started to consider myself a satanist. At age 9. And it lasted for years, I had been roleplaying amoral murderers in RPGs, listened Black Metal, pretended I feel sick in Churches and so on. Years later I was cured from this by medieval music and Dragon Age: Origins, but that is another story.

So I feel nostalgic about those times, and want to find games where you can play as demons, but proper ones, not some traitors and "demons but they are good guys". Examples:

Disciples: Sacred Lands and Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy

A game where demons done right. They are creatures of Evil and Hatred, unleashing their might on the mortal world for Bethrezen's glory. I don't count the third game, because you play there as some traitor emo who fell in love with angel. It also have disgusting anime art, I became full anime-hater after this. Years later my anime intolerance was somewhat softened after nutmegs trip, but that is another story.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

A game that corrupted my young mind. As I know, there aren't proper demon campaigns, only few maps for Restoration of Erathia, but that is enough. I don't count Heroes IV, because they mixed demons with undeads, and I hate undeads after Arthas killed my dude Illidan in Warcraft 3.

Heroes of Might and Magic 5

Cool demons, but in the Inferno campaign you are playing as... fucking elv! *vomit sounds* and he is a traitor, and he is a good guy, fuck him. At least game have one scenario map with a proper Demoness hero.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

Main character is a son of the Demon Lord and he is possessed with hot succubus. You can choose to be a good guy, save the world and shit, but staying true to your purpose and fullfilling the prophecy by freeing your father is more interesting option. In my headcanone, demonic religion of Ashan have its own Trinity: The Father (Kha-Beleth), The Son (Dark Messiah) and The God-Spirit (Urgash, Dragon of Chaos).

Maybe Warcraft 3 can be mentioned, 'cause I remember there was fan-made campaign about Burning Legion.

Please post more games with demons you know!

Hail Satan, but remember, that satanism is a lame bullshit invented by american gypsie in 60s.

Demon's Crest is not a bad game at all, and is one of the best looking games on its native system, in my opinion. Soundtrack is pretty good too.

There is a demoness main character in Sacred Gold as well.

I think "King's Bounty: Dark Side" has one demoness protagonist.

It's the weakest entry in that series though.

(for completeness sake I guess succubus games are kind of a whole subgenre in the adult section of gaming, not what we are looking for here tho)

Codex 2014 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy
Litil Divil (1993)

A little devil named Mutt is a rather lazy character who prefers to do nothing in his own cozy part of the underworld. However, his luck changes when he is chosen as the hero who must venture into a mysterious Labyrinth in the overworld and retrieve the Pizza of Plenty from there, so that his demonic friends will have enough capers and anchovies to eat.

Demon pops out to the store for his mates - game at 11.



Goat Simulator (2016)

You control a goat who's free to do all kinds of things - including becoming Satan's personal black goat of DOOM!

Does the word "card game roguelike" or something like this causes you physical pain?
If it doesn't then i would like to add Monster Train and Erannorth Reborn/Chronicles.

There is also plenty of gameplay mods for Doom that allow you play as demons like Naku-Naru, Bring Your Own Class or those overpowered Baron/Revenant mods.

Also, in Conquest of Elysium 5 you can play as a Demonologist, a Raksharaja, and some other factions who can summon demons.
Dominion games have a bunch demonic factions too obviously.
