History VideoGame / WarriorsOfFate

* DropTheHammer: Xu Chu (Taranis in English version), the third boss, swings a hammer larger than an average person to pound you into a pulp.

* BareFistedMonk: They're not "monks" per se, but when playing as Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, the characters fight with their ''bare hands'' (they only get their Serpent Spear and Green Dragon Blade if they're mounted on a horse). Their fists and punches can still do the same amount of damage as swords.

* BladeOnAStick: Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can gain their iconic weapons, their Serpent Spear and Green Dragon Sabre, if they're on horseback. The basic foot soldiers of Cao Cao's army are pikeman, while the bosses Xiahou Dun and Yan Ming all use heavy spears.

* WhipItGood: Lu Bu, the second-to-last boss, uses a whip as his sidearm. Oddly enough while Lu Bu has been depicted in multiple media involving the ''Three Kingdoms'', this is the only one where he's shown preferring using a whip as a weapon.

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Far more well received and remembered compared to its predecessor, it's safe to say that there was indeed, no problem with it.

!! The Four Playable Heroes

''Warriors of Fate'' is a 1992 BeatEmUp action game developed by Creator/{{Capcom}} and the sequel to ''VideoGame/DynastyWars''. Just like it's predecessor, it's adapted from the classical Chinese epic ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms''.

* [[TheHero Guan Yu]] ([[DubNameChange Portor]] in the dub), the infamous General of the Three Kingdoms era, a mighty FrontlineGeneral just the way he is portrayed in history and the myths. Also an easy-to-use JackOfAllStats for players.
* [[TheBigGuy Zhang Fei]] ([[DubNameChange Kassar]] in the dub), the close friend of Guan Yu and his second-in-command as well as a ferocious BloodKnight who craves the blood of his enemies. TheBigGuy and MightyGlacier who deals heavy damage from close range.
* [[TheLancer Zhao Yun]] ([[DubNameChange Subutai]] in the dub), the newly-promoted captain who's famed for rescuing his master, Liu Bei's newborn baby son from hordes and hordes of enemies, and a capable MasterSwordsman and FragileSpeedster.
* [[OldMaster Huang Zhong]] ([[DubNameChange Kadan]] in the dub), an OldSoldier and CoolOldGuy who's equally easy to use as the other comparably younger heroes. A master archer whose bow and quiver holds an infinity amount of arrows, giving him advantage in range for players using him.
* [[SixthRanger Wei Yan]] ([[DubNameChange Abaka]] in the dub), a more recent recruit of the Shu Army, and a somewhat odd choice in a roster among the playable heroes (since most ''Three Kingdoms'' adaptations would focus on the three brothers, and occasionally Zhao Yun). His moveset is more or less the same as Zhao Yun's.

** Given the game is an adaptation of the Battle of Red Cliff, the iconic scene from the novel with a naval battle atop burning boats is faithfully recreated here.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The iconic scene where Liu Bei's wife hands her baby son to the heroes (in the novel it's Zhao Yun, in the game its the current character being used) before [[DrivenToSuicide throwing herself down a well to escape the invading Wei army]] is cut from the World release.
* CarryABigStick: Some enemy soldiers are armed with dual maces. And occasionally you can pick up massive spiked maces that, when striking a mook whose health is at a fraction, turn the unfortunate mook into LudicrousGibs instantly. There's also a few bosses like Zhang Liao (Kublai-Dakan in the dub) who use a long mace.

* DropTheHammer: Xu Chu (Taranis in the dub), the third boss, swings a hammer larger than an average person to pound you into a pulp.
* DualBoss: Yuan Ming and Xia-hou Jie (Jerrek and Basadas in the dub) from the sixth stage attacks at the same time, and both must be defeated to complete their level.
* DualWielding: Some of the mooks use twin knives for close combat. Cao Ren (Atika in the dub), a boss from halfway, use his sword and a spiked mace in tandem.

* MookCarryover: Lu Bu (Temujin-Khan in the dub) in this game is revealed to be serving Cao Cao, somehow, after his defeat from the previous game. Despite their real-life equivalents having ''much'' more opposing relationship in real life.

* TheGoomba: The lowest-ranked infantrymen of Cao Cao's army are hardly a significant threat, appearing in large numbers but can be killed with ease. They do have a special move that have them clinging on your characters' backs and hacking at you furiously, but even that can be shrugged off with ease.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The iconic scene where Liu Bei's wife hands her baby son to the heroes (in the novel it's Zhao Yun, in the game its the current character being used) before [[DrivenToSuicide throwing herself down a well to escape the invading Wei army]]) is cut from the World release.

** BadEnding: [[spoiler: Cao Cao pulls a DisneyVillainDeath by seemingly throwing himself off a waterfall. Your heroes return to the capital city to celebrate, but the story then reveals Cao Cao went back and re-established his army, now stronger than ever, and returns to conquer the entirety of China]].
** GoldenEnding: [[spoiler: Cao Cao is defeated and captured. With the invasion thwarted, the players return to the Shu Kingdom as heroes, as China prospers in the glorious reign of the Shu empire for centuries to come]].

* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: Cao Cao says this word-for-word after his defeat]].

* TimeLimitBoss: The FinalBoss, Cao Cao, is pathetically easy to kill with only a small health bar and a minor thrown bomb attack. However, if you don't kill him within the fifteen second time limit he escapes and you get the BadEnding.

* AnAxToGrind: Battleaxes are a weapon you can come across for hacking mooks to bits, capable of doing more damage than swords or fists, though at a slower striking rate. There's also the boss Xu Huang (Kai Bataar in the dub) who uses a heavy poleaxe (another case of ShownTheirWork, the real-life Xu Huang is a high-ranking captain of the Wei Empire who does indeed use a heavy poleaxe as his weapon).

* MookCarryover: Lu Bu (Temujin-Khan in the dub) in this game is revealed to be serving Cao Cao, somehow, after his defeat from the previous game. Despite their real-life equivalents having never met each other in reality...

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The iconic scene where Liu Bei's wife hands her baby son to the heroes (in the novel it's Zhao Yun, in the game its the current character being used) before [[DrivenToSuicide throwing herself down a well to escape the invading Wei army) is cut from the World release.

* [[OldMaster Huang Zhong ([[DubNameChange Kadan]] in the dub), an OldSoldier and CoolOldGuy who's equally easy to use as the other comparably younger heroes. A master archer whose bow and quiver holds an infinity amount of arrows, giving him advantage in range for players using him.
