![]() 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. 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". ![]() In the Japanese version, Tenchi wo Kurau II follows Liu Bei's plight in Jingzhou from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a history-based 14th century novel from China by Luo Guanzhong, set in the Three Kingdoms period as Cao Cao sets to invade his lands after the death of Dong Zhuo and recruiting his general Lu Bu to his army. (In the US version, they are named Portor, Kassar, Subutai, Kadan, and Abaka respectively.) Story The playable characters are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, four of the famous Five Tiger Generals, and Wei Yan. Unlike the first game, Dynasty Wars, Liu Bei is not playable. Each character except Zhao Yun was given a special wrestling throw of their own. 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 the 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 levels. There is also a variety of weapons in the game which can be picked up. The game also has two bonus stages that require rapid pressing of buttons. After defeating them all, Cao Cao himself must be confronted and defeated before he escapes. One or more of Wei's generals appears at the end of each stage as a boss - e.g., Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and the infamous Lu Bu as the final boss. ![]() 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. Each contains large mobs including spearman, archers, strongmen, bomb-wielding opponents, and at least one boss. Warriors of Fate is a beat'em up with nine stages. Arcade single-player gameplay, showing Wei Yan (who is renamed to Abaka in the World version) riding on a horse and fighting the halberd-wielding boss Jo-Kō/ Xu Huang (who is named Kai'Bataar here) and a few of his minions in the 8th stage - " Battle of Red Cliff 2", the pre-last level of the game.
