Hey guys! I'm looking for a game on this site where you play as the Villain. Know of any good ones on here you'd like to share?
Vaccaria
The I in Vaccaria stands for inertia.

The so-called antagonist, the Demon Lord, actually joins your quest to save a world and gets the greatest deconstruction that leads to its unique characteristics in-game (plus, he's OP when given the chance).


The Witch's House

The main protagonist is actually the villain of the story, being friends with a human only to make a heel-face turn and return to the house to 'finish the deed' with her newly-acquired body (note: SOUL-FRICKIN'-SUNDER).

A "reverse horror game" where you act as the villain being spooky-scary to other characters.

Circumstance penalty for being the bard.

Try Dhux's Scar. Just be aware that this game has really intense violence and adult themes.
Craze

Could Drakengard 1/2 be kinda construed as this? I haven't properly read/played them, but from what I hear they could fit.
Hexatona
JESEUS MIMLLION SPOLERS

There are actually very few games I would actually consider games where you are a an actual villain. Most of the time, a villain protagonist is just an anti-hero or someone willing to do what is right in the wrong way.

Disgaea has a light hearted villain who eventually gives up that characterizxation.

The Witch and the Hundred Knight has Metallia being a Virtuous Villain, although she certainly doesn't start out that way.

I think the darkest I've ever seen this trope go is the Demon Path of Soul Nomad and the World Eaters. You are most definately the villain of that story.

...aaaand now that I read your post more clearly, you wewre talking about RM games. Ah well. Just ignore me then.

Tales from Zilmurik plants the seeds early for a heroic motivation later on. Aside from that, a game I played recently that had your heroes working for the villains was Passage of the Hollow Moon.

I want to say Notes on the Etgoesian Crisis because you basically play an asshole...but you basically have to deal with a whole game full of assholes, and the protagonist is basically the least assholish of them. Your goal in the game is to ruin a man's reputation and career, which is a pretty nasty thing to do. But that man is the mayor, and he burned your house down and sold the lot while you were on vacation, which is totally a dick move. But if you weren't such an asshole, he wouldn't have done it. See where this is going? In the course of the game, you help a man commit cold-blooded murder, you blackmail people, you coerce people...and you end up a hero.
