Warriors of Fate ARCADE

Warriors of Fate is Capcom’s 1992 beat-’em-up, loosely based on the classical Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and built as a spiritual successor to Capcom’s earlier arcade brawler Dynasty Wars. Up to three players choose from a roster of six warriors and fight through a story of stolen imperial artifacts and betrayal set in ancient China.

Running on Capcom’s CPS-1 hardware, it combines the beat-’em-up structure of Final Fight with weapon-based combat drawn from its historical Chinese setting, and character-specific special attacks that vary more between fighters than most brawlers of the period. It never received an official home port during the arcade era, leaving the arcade original as its only widely available version for years.
