The game included two bonus stages in the middle where the characters compete in an eating contest which required rapid pressing of buttons and rotations of the joystick, and another is where the characters practice their skills on the practice dummies of the final boss. This tactic even works on some bosses and coincidentally ends up showing more gory detail since the bosses are larger. Notably, even while using bare fists, certain characters could still cleave enemies in half, exposing vital organs, and leaving a terrible mess. Slash weapons and special moves would have an additional maiming effect on enemies when used for the final blow and the enemy boss can be blown up, decapitated, or have their bodies severed. Each character except Zhao Yun is given a special wrestling throw of their own, like in Final Fight and The Punisher.Įven in the US release, the game was particularly gory for its time. One notable feature of the game is the ability to summon a warhorse which adds more attacks to the characters, generally involving pole-arms (except long bow for Huang Zhong). As with most side-scrollers, food is used to replenish health and can be found in various breakable containers in the game level.
There is a variety of weapons in the game which can be picked up. After defeating them all, there is also Cao Cao himself (in this game called Akkila Orkhan).
At the end of each stage there is a Wei general as a boss Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Chunyu Dao, Xiahou Jie, Yan Ming, Xu Huang, and the infamous Lu Bu as the final boss. Common enemies including Wei soldiers such as bandits, privatees, wrestlers, fatties and thieves will keep appearing everywhere.
Using two buttons, Attack and Jump, the characters all have standard moves typical of Capcom side-scrollers of the day. There can be up to three players on-screen at the same time. The game features nine stages, in each of which there are large mobs including spearmen, archers, strongmen, bomb-wielding opponents, and at least one Wei boss. Warriors of Fate leaves the role-playing game genre the previous installment followed in favor of returning to the original installment's beat 'em up gameplay.
