The game features a Special meter similar to the Super Combo gauge from ''[[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]'', which fills as characters perform normal moves (except light attacks) and special moves. When it is full, characters can perform two types of special moves: ES moves ("enhanced special" moves), which are enhanced versions of their special moves that can typically hit more times but sometimes differ drastically, and EX moves ("extra special" moves), which are unique special abilities that are usually more flashy and do more damage. Many characters can cancel chain combos into EX moves. The Special meter can have multiple levels (with no limit), gaining a new level each time it fills, and using an ES or EX move costs a level.

Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, known as Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge (ヴァンパイア ハンター) in Japan, is a versus fighting game released for the Sega Saturn by Capcom. It is the second game in the Darkstalkers series. It was followed by Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire.
Contents
Story
The powerful alien demon 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.
Gameplay
The game is a fighting game similar to the Street Fighter series, but it is set in a gothic horror universe with characters based on monsters from folklore. The series has been celebrated for its bizarre aesthetics and lively, exaggerated animation, featuring a cast of outlandish characters who often change in size and form while performing their moves. New gameplay features include air blocking, air throws, and chain combos. In each battle, two characters fight to drain each other's vitality gauges. The winner of the best of three rounds wins the match. Each round has a 99-second timer; if time runs out, the fighter with the most life left wins.
There is a single-player mode where the player chooses any character and fights eight opponents before facing the bosses Huitzil and Pyron. A second player can challenge the first at any point by pressing START on a second control pad, with the winner of the match moving on to the next opponent. There are eight different difficulty levels for the computer-controlled combatants. There is also a two-player versus mode where each player can choose any character, a handicap, and any stage.
Characters move with and
and dash with
and
. They jump upward with
and jump behind and ahead with
and
. They crouch with
. Punches are done with
(light),
(medium), and
(hard) and kicks are done with
(light),
(medium), and
(hard). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Chain combos can be performed by linking attacks from lightest to hardest and from punches to kicks, canceling the recovery of a normal move by starting another. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Projectile attacks move slowly through each other, with the stronger projectile dissipating the other (depending on the strength of the attack button used and which was launched first) rather than canceling each other out as in most fighting games (unless they were launched at the same time with the same strength). ES moves are done by pressing the same directional combinations but holding two attack buttons of the same type (punches or kicks).
Throws and grabs are done by holding or
when next to an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, and most characters can throw in midair. Characters can reduce the damage taken from a throw (except command throws) by pressing the medium or hard punch button after being thrown. Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding
with a kick button simultaneously. Knocked down characters can recover and slide away by holding
or
.
Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. Characters can guard in midair but cannot air block against normal attacks from an opponent that is standing on the ground and cannot air block after performing an attack in the air. Most characters have one special move, called a guard cancel, that can be performed while guarding to cancel out of the block and immediately counterattack the opponent.
The game features a Special meter similar to the Super Combo gauge from Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which fills as characters perform normal moves (except light attacks) and special moves. When it is full, characters can perform two types of special moves: ES moves ("enhanced special" moves), which are enhanced versions of their special moves that can typically hit more times but sometimes differ drastically, and EX moves ("extra special" moves), which are unique special abilities that are usually more flashy and do more damage. Many characters can cancel chain combos into EX moves. The Special meter can have multiple levels (with no limit), gaining a new level each time it fills, and using an ES or EX move costs a level. The Special meter levels are retained between rounds but not battles.
Players can choose between Normal and Turbo speed for battles. There are two playing styles that can be selected after choosing a character: Normal and Auto. The character automatically guards against a limited number of attacks in Auto mode and automatically performs chain combos when attacking with normal moves.
Characters
Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, and
should be reversed.
P | Any punch button |
LP | Light punch |
MP | Medium punch |
HP | Hard punch |
K | Any kick button |
LK | Light kick |
MK | Medium kick |
HK | Hard kick |
All special moves can be performed as ES moves if two P or K buttons are used instead of one, with the exception of teleports and some command throws.
Donovan Baine and Hsien-Ko are new characters. Huitzil and Pyron, the two bosses from the first game, are now playable. Anakaris is the only character without a guard cancel or any throws.
Stages
Each character has his or her own stage where matches are hosted. The stage can be manually chosen in the two-player mode. Every stage has an alternate color scheme.
History
Development
Night Warriors can be considered an upgrade to the original Darkstalkers rather than a sequel, since it revisits the same story and reuses many of the same assets, while refining the mechanics and adding new characters, moves, animations, and stages (similar to the relationship between Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter Alpha 2). There is a cheat code that unlocks the old backgrounds, music, and character palettes.
The original game had about 128 MB of character animations, while the sequel has about 256 MB, amounting to approximately 500 additional patterns per character.[10] While the original game was ported to the PlayStation by Psygnosis, Night Warriors was ported to the Saturn by Capcom themselves. However, because of difficulties encountered when producing the PlayStation version, the Saturn port of Night Warriors was released in Japan and North America about a month before the PlayStation port of its prequel.[11]
Though uncredited in-game, music porting for the Sega Saturn version was handled to some extent by Sega's own Teruhiko Nakagawa, with Tatsuya Kouzaki handling miscellaneous data porting.
Legacy
The game was included in the Darkstalkers series compilation release Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection for the PlayStation 2 in 2005. It was remastered as part of Darkstalkers Resurrection for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. It was re-released as part of the Capcom Fighting Collection compilation for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PCs in 2022.
Versions
The Saturn version of Night Warriors is a close match to its arcade counterpart, but uses slightly fewer frames of animation during normal play. The full set of graphics do exist on the disc, however, and will be utilised if a hidden "animation mode" is set to "full". The catch is that the missing frames will only be rendered if the player and opponent are using the same character.
Loading screens are also introduced on the Saturn due to its use of disc-based media, and the game is more susceptible to slowdown in busy scenes.
Due to the differences in screen resolution between the two systems (384x224 in the arcades versus 352x224 on the Saturn), all of the Saturn's graphics are stretched slightly in the horizontal axis, and borders are added at the top and bottom. Perhaps the biggest side effect of this change is the titles and menus, where the logo does not fully fit on the screen.
