An excellent fighting game, with varied and easy to use characters, the game oozes with personality and minor animations that show that the designers really cared about their game. This is a good port of the first game in the Darkstalkers series, not as good as the subsequent ports, but the colors look better in this version than in any other, including the Saturn versions, while the lack of frames is noticeable, the game play is intact, this is a game you shouldn't miss if you are a fan of 2D fighting games.
Demitri Maximoff decides to hold a tournament on planet Earth to see which of the Darkstalkers is worthy to rule the Demon World. Pyron, who believes he should rule the Darkstalkers, decides to enter the tournament. Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors features ten playable characters (Demitri Maximoff, Jon Talbain, Victor von Gerdenheim, Lord Raptor, Morrigan Aensland, Anakaris, Felicia, Oboro Bishamon, Rikuo and Sasquatch) and two non-playable boss characters (Huitzil and Pyron) as the final opponents of single-player mode. The game uses the gameplay system Capcom developed for the Street Fighter II series, but with several new gameplay features such as Air Blocking, Crouch Walking and Chain Combos. The game featured a Special meter similar to the "Super Combo" gauge from Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which the player could fill up to perform either a unique "super combo"-type move much like the previous Super Turbo (called "ES" in the Darkstalkers series), or a powered-up version of one of their specials (called "EX", and a concept which would appear in later Darkstalkers games as well as Street Fighter III). Unlike the Super Combo gauge in Super Turbo, the Special in Darkstalkers gradually drains unless the player performs their super move, preventing players from preserving their super moves for later use.Read full review

i used to play the archade version when i was young and wanted to get the home version for my kids. My 10 yr old son loves the monsters & action. Great game for pre teen with out blood splater or crude behavior. Is a fighting game but not extreme or traumatizing.
