Flying Warriors (USA)

**Flying Warriors** is a unique action-RPG title for the NES, distinguished by its blend of two primary genres: traditional role-playing and fighting combat. Players step into the shoes of Rick Stalker, a talented young martial artist, embarking on a journey to save the world from the demon lord Zorgon. The game features two main gameplay modes:

The first mode is the RPG adventure mode, where players navigate a vast world map, explore towns and villages, and converse with NPCs to gather information and quests. During exploration, players will encounter random battles with enemies. These battles unfold in a turn-based fashion, similar to other classic RPGs. Players select commands for Rick and his party members, such as attack, defend, use items, or utilize special skills.

The unique aspect of **Flying Warriors** lies in its fighting combat mode, which is activated when players face stronger enemies or important boss battles. In this mode, the perspective shifts to a 2D side-view, and players directly control Rick in a real-time martial arts fight. Rick can perform various offensive moves like punches, kicks, jumps, and especially powerful Ki (energy) attacks. Using Ki attacks requires energy and strategic timing. These battles demand player skill in control and quick reflexes, adding excitement and variety to the gameplay. The combination of world exploration, RPG-style character progression, and challenging fighting encounters is the highlight of **Flying Warriors**, delivering an experience that is both deep and action-packed.
