These are just a few character designs from a game called Chain Chronicle. Overall I like the game but a lot of the female characters need armor improvements. The blue haired girl, who has the best armor/outfit of all the female characters and I don’t see her sexualized in the game very much. If you want, I have plenty more outfit screenshots for this game’s characters that I could submit.
Yet another card based game loaded with creativity and by creativity I mean the same generic outfits that were borrowed from every other half-baked production. Shame on you SEGA, shame on you.

I got this game “Stella Glow” recently and, while it’s not bad, Hilda (pictured) has a costume that bothers me. She wears this outfit anytime- in battle or out, so I guess it counts as armour? Either way, it’s ridiculous…
In the game, there are witches (like Hilda) who can cast magic by singing. While witches are singing, they are completely defenseless- after all, they’re focusing on the song. So it makes no sense at all to wear such useless armour- she could easily get stabbed in the stomach. Or anywhere else, really.
As for the bingo, hearts are there for the ones I’m more sure of, and stars are there for the ones I’m not so sure of. For example, the thigh-high boots. Her boots end below her knees but she has socks(?) that go to her thighs. For covers only nipples and genitals on torso, it also covers her sides? But her stomach is completely exposed. And bared back is more of a technicality- her hair and a cape (I think?) covers her back but neither of that will protect you.
Depending on what you think, she could have a bingo. Either way, she’s not fit for battle.
Yup, while no mildly sane person would ever consider that to be armor – that she’ll voluntarily wear it into battle makes it armor as far as the bingo is concerned. Particularly given her, shall we say… confrontational nature?
I wouldn’t normally count those as thigh highs, since they appear to be stockings (and are presumably held up with superglue), but nipples and genitalia definitely applies since that seems to be the only parts prioritized in cover with that outfit. Bared-back… well the nano-seconds it’s on display it’s unclear.
Perhaps the nicest thing that can be said is that if she runs around in an outfit like this – it’s no wonder she has to try so hard to get people to take her seriously.

The Archon enemy from XCOM 2. He doesn’t have legs, but I’d argue he’s still pretty empowered.
With empowerment like this no wonder they’re the greatest threat that humanity has ever seen! Now this is an enemy that people will want to get to know.

Frank Miller Strikes Again
Glitchy submitted:
From “The Dark Knight III, the Master Race” issue 2. Spotted here
Wonder Woman’s top… good lord that top…
While I can’t even figure out how those straps are supposed to work, they are surprisingly not used to hold on her breastplate, but rather the baby on her back. The breastplate is being held on by such tiny threads, they don’t even show up in this shot.
You can see them here though.
Not that they help much.
[weary sigh]
Continuing with the theme of creators who spend a lot of time looking at lingerie catalogs and learning the wrong lessons. Now, technically the art for this comic is done by Eduardo Risso, but I think it’s safe to blame Frank Miller for this concept given that while Risso does tend to heavily sexualise his female characters, his previous Wonder Woman art was nowhere near this bad.
And this case it appears that DC Comics realized in advance who ridiculous this costume was and tried to conceal it’s true nature on the cover:
Another company might have simply decided the costume was ridiculous when the concept was proposed and had them create a more viable alternative.
