The Story Behind Warriors of Fate
Liu Bei's warriors begin by fighting Cao Cao's forces at the Battle of Bowang, then Battle of Changban, then finally join up with Sun Quan to fight at the Battle of Red Cliff. Capcom later included an emulated version of the arcade original as part of Capcom Arcade Stadium and Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. In the English adaptation, however, the Three Kingdoms theme was lost, and most names have been changed to names of Mongolian origin.
In Warriors of Fate, Shu Han, led by Liu Bei, as in the novel, is everything "good" and "righteous", while Wei, led by the ever-suspicious and cunning Cao Cao, is portrayed as "evil" and "bad". The story takes place in a fictional realm where the evil overlord Akkila-Orkhan (originally Cao Cao) of Shang-Lo tries to conquer his neighbouring countries, converting them into ruin and despair. Kuan-Ti (originally Liu Bei), with the aid of the five great warriors, stands up against the conquering shadow and fights to defend his people and lands.
How Warriors of Fate Plays
After defeating them all, Cao Cao himself must be confronted and defeated before he escapes. There is also a variety of weapons in the game which can be picked up. Using two buttons, Attack and Jump, the characters all have standard moves typical of Capcom side-scrollers of the day.
The playable characters are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, four of the famous Five Tiger Generals, and Wei Yan (in the US version, they are named Portor, Kassar, Subutai, Kadan, and Abaka respectively). As with most side-scrollers, food is used to replenish health and can be found in various breakable containers in the game levels. Each character except Zhao Yun was given a special wrestling throw of their own.
Why Players Still Load It Up
In North America, RePlay reported Warriors of Fate to be the fifth most-popular arcade game at the time. Capcom later included an emulated version of the arcade original as part of Capcom Arcade Stadium and Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. Kuan-Ti (originally Liu Bei), with the aid of the five great warriors, stands up against the conquering shadow and fights to defend his people and lands.
Liu Bei's warriors begin by fighting Cao Cao's forces at the Battle of Bowang, then Battle of Changban, then finally join up with Sun Quan to fight at the Battle of Red Cliff. It was ported to the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1996. The story takes place in a fictional realm where the evil overlord Akkila-Orkhan (originally Cao Cao) of Shang-Lo tries to conquer his neighbouring countries, converting them into ruin and despair.
