Overview
Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors is the first game in the Darkstalkers franchise. Darkstalkers, known as Vampire: The Night Warriors in Japan, was released in 1994 for the arcade. While Darkstalkers used the fighting mechanics of Street Fighter 2, the game introduced many elements to the fighting mechanics that would be used in many later fighting games. Darkstalkers was also the first Capcom fighting game that used 16-bit color animtaion.
Gameplay
There are many refinements from Street Fighter II's gameplay. These include air blocking, crouch walking, and chain combos. The game also featured a special meter that could be filled to preform a powerful move. If the player manages to fill the special meter all the way, the player gains access to more powerful special moves that would reset the special meter. Once filled however, the meter will begin decreasing down to zero only giving the player a limited amount of time to actually use any special moves that required the meter.
Characters
Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors features ten playable characters. Two boss characters were also present in the game that were fought in the final two matches of the game. All of the characters in Darkstalkers are based off of many fantasy archetypes, from Frankenstein's monster to Sasquatch.
