Shanghai Warriors is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game released in 1989 by Players Software. The game places players in the shoes of a Karate warrior, a graduate of the 'Dragon Temple Karate Academy,' tasked with stopping mercenaries led by the antagonist, Snide Gantree. These mercenaries have stolen a US Navy submarine, threatening to unleash nuclear destruction on major capitals like Washington and London.
The gameplay involves navigating through various levels, combating enemies using martial arts skills. Players can control their character using a joystick or redefinable keys, executing moves such as punches, kicks, and jumps. Additionally, players can pick up weapons like an Uzi machine pistol, knife, or Ninja star, displayed at the bottom of the screen with a usage counter.
Visually, the game features colorful graphics typical of the ZX Spectrum era. Backgrounds and sprites are crafted by Colin Swinbourne and Martin Severn, enhancing the retro aesthetic. The music, composed by Mike Brown, adds to the engaging atmosphere of the game.
Shanghai Warriors offers a nostalgic experience for fans of classic beat 'em up games, with its straightforward yet challenging gameplay and vibrant visual style. The game is a testament to the creativity and technical prowess of its developers, providing a glimpse into the gaming landscape of the late 1980s.
