China Warrior is a 1990 fighting game available on the TurboGrafx-16 and PC platforms. The game's main objective is to guide the protagonist through a series of battles against various martial arts opponents, ultimately defeating the final boss to save the day. Players engage in one-on-one combat with a focus on timing and positioning to execute punches, kicks, and special moves.
The gameplay in China Warrior features a relatively straightforward pace, with slower, deliberate combat compared to faster action fighters. The game emphasizes strategic attacks and defense rather than rapid button mashing. Each opponent presents unique attack patterns, requiring players to adapt their tactics accordingly.
A distinctive aspect of China Warrior is its unusually large character sprites, which were notable for the time on the TurboGrafx-16. This design choice creates a more immersive fighting experience but also limits the range of movement. The game’s simple control scheme and classic side-scrolling fighting format reflect early 90s arcade-style martial arts games, making it a recognizable title within the TurboGrafx-16 fighting game genre.
