Story

Despite being considered a sequel to Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors , Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge has the same plot and endings as the previous game, only adding stories and endings to the new characters and the (now playable) bosses. Pyron invades Earth to add to his collection of planets that he has devoured. The world's most fearsome monsters are the last defense of mankind. Two darkstalker hunters make their presence known and join in the fray. Donovan Baine and Hsien-Ko are "Dark Hunters" who are out to hunt the other Darkstalkers in the game (hence the Japanese title, Vampire Hunter ).

Gameplay Systems

Night Warriors is a 2D competitive fighting game . It features several changes to the gameplay system of its predecessor, Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors . One of these changes is an introduction of the chain combos . Players can also choose between a "normal" gameplay style or one that offers auto-blocking.

The main change in Night Warriors is the ability for the player to stock up on their Special gauge, allowing them to store more than one Special gauge and preserve them through the entire match. Two types of Super Moves are featured in the game: ES Specials, requiring a portion of the Special gauge, and EX Specials, requiring an entire stock of the Special gauge to perform.
