The Warriors is an animated picture about a street gang from Coney Island that is based on the film of the same name that was released by Paramount Pictures in 1979 and voices the majority of the original cast. Beginning several months before to the events depicted in the movie, The Warriors attempt to develop and defend their turf on Coney Island while also demonstrating that they are significant enough players to join The Riffs’ network. With a citywide representative, they have a better chance of being asked to a major gang meeting, which is where important decisions on the future of New York street crime will be made.
The story of the game focuses on the nine key members of The Warriors, including leader Cleon, Swan, Ajax, Cowboy, Cochise, Snow, Rembrandt, and Vermin. There are also flashback missions that illustrate how these characters became a part of The Warriors. Throughout the course of the game, the player will take control of each individual member, typically performing the role of a war chief and directing a group of Warriors on an objective. The objectives of the many missions range from just destroying another crew to achieving a series of goals while evading capture or something even worse.
Players have the opportunity to rob passersby, take vehicle radios, commit smash and grabs, tag walls, blast other gangs’ burners, and load up on flash during the course of missions. The Warriors will return to their hangout in Coney Island between each story-based mission. Here, they will be able to train to improve their statistics, go out on patrol, examine their achievements, repeat levels, or join into a series of quick-play combat matches.
The gameplay is quite similar to that of a team-based brawler. Every Warrior has their own unique combat style, and a significant portion of the game world can be used as a weapon. Fights are quick and frequently violent, but sneaking around is an option as well. Players have the ability to finish off opponents in a covert manner and distract the police or other players by throwing bottles at them. Warriors are able to make their escape through the roofs, hop over fences, or dart into shadowy places thanks to the fact that the game’s settings are completely rendered in 3D.
