Games That Let You Play As The Enemies You Fought During The Main Game

Games where you are able to control several basic enemies you encounter throughout the main game. Always greatly enjoyed this idea. Few rules:

1. The game has to not be based around the concept of adding enemies to your team. Basically, no monster catching. I think that'd dilute the purpose of the list, which I hope you get the vibe of.
2. Obtaining an enemy's fighting styles or movesets does not count. No Mega Man and no Kirby (with exceptions).
3. Bosses don't count. This is about basic enemies.
4. Playing has to consist of controlling them in somewhat the same manner as they would play when fighting against you. No costume sections.
5. I allow most other shenanigans, such as only one of the players being able to do this, or it being restricted to some mode.

The new Safari mode allows the player to control an Overseer, who can then control any and all enemies on the map. The player unlocks different zones for the Safari mode by finding unlockables in the main game.

The Dungeon Master mode allows a player to set up and control in an eventual fight. They appear to have mostly the same abilities as playable characters do, but I think it counts.

Bit of a cheat here cuz this is technically a multiplayer game, but I think the fact that your first campaign is as the forces of good, whereas the second campaign that unlocks after is played from the evil perspective lets it squeeze through.

Gothic I and II both have fully coded, playable enemies. Through accessing the dev tools with a code, you are able to control any character in the game, including all enemies. Otherwise, during the main game, the player is able to obtain many different scrolls that allow them to transform into different enemies.
Certain skills allow you to transform into enemies. These enemies aren't exactly bosses, though some are encounter only once or only in a specific area. These are super enemies, maybe even mini-bosses, but I would not count them as bosses.

@Elkmane I like the idea but I think that them being bosses carries a different vibe. However, I think I shall add Lego games in general because they let you control every enemy unit. Thank you for the beeg brain play.
