Side-scrolling actioh games are quickly becoming a dying breed on the next-generation platforms, but Capcom is doing its part to keep the genre alive in its port of the 1992 arcade game Warriors of Fate to the PlayStation. If there were new enemies for each level and more originality, this game would have truly been outstanding. You might also get a little peeved at the lack of originality that Capcom displays with the attacks stolen from their other famous games. The same enemies are repeated over and over throughout the nine levels. Once you beat it, there is little to keep you playing. In the end though, players might not like the fact that this CD is repetitive. There may sometimes be as many as 10 enemies on the screen, and there isn't even a single flicker. It is possible to have a two-player simultaneous game. The animation of each character in the game is smooth. The graphics of Warriors of Fate are identical to the arcade. If you ride a horse, you take less damage and have a longer reach. The most useful icon will give you a weapon that does lots of damage. Throughout the game there are items to pick up. His special resembles Guile's Flashkick.Īfter playing awhile, you'll notice Capcom's touch in most of the characters' attacks. He wears green armor and carries a long sword. He may have limited defense capabilities, but he has long-distance attacks. He has a Dragon Punch-like uppercut that can cleave foes in two! Kou Chuu is an old archer who is best compared to the elf in King of Dragons. Arguably the hero of the game, he is a young samurai, complete with sword. He has the most throws of all the warriors. He's an unarmed fighter whose moves look like they're out of Slam Masters. He can spin around with his arms to knock foes away. He's garbed in blue and white and has attacks that resemble Haggar's. The first character is a warrior monk named Kan-U. Please note that these names will most likely change when this game is finally finished for a U.S.
Here's a quick run-down to give you an idea of what the five fighters are like. Each fighter also has a slide that can be executed by pressing diagonally downward with the Jump button. This, however, will drain life with each use. There are also power moves that can be released by pressing the Attack and Jump buttons at the same time. Each warrior has a Street Fighter-type move that can be done with a reverse Yoga Flame.
You have your choice of five fighters most of them play in a similar fashion. Think of WOF as Final Fight in Medieval Japan. You may have seen Warriors of Fate in an arcade. One of Capcom's many arcade Final Fight knock-offs will be reaching the PlayStation soon.
