The game uses a side-scrolling beat 'em up structure. Players advance through stages, defeat waves of enemies, and face bosses while collecting weapons and items. Each character has normal attacks, jumps, special moves, and context-based item interactions. Progress is stage-based, and in some versions multiple players can join for cooperative brawling and crowd control.
Guan Yu
A Shu general with wide-reaching weapon attacks and solid all-around power.
Zhao Yun
A fast and agile hero with strong mobility and combo potential.
Zhang Fei
A powerful close-range fighter suited to aggressive pressure.
Huang Zhong
A veteran warrior who mixes reach, timing, and steady offense.
Learn enemy patterns and use jump attacks or rear positioning to avoid getting surrounded. Save special attacks for emergencies or boss openings. In co-op, split enemy attention so one player can control crowds while another focuses on damage. Prioritize weapon pickups for tougher fights and keep an eye on environmental hazards.
