Armored Warriors (940920 USA)

Released in September 1994 by iconic game publisher Capcom for its CP System II (CPS-2) arcade hardware, Armored Warriors (940920 USA) is a groundbreaking side-scrolling action brawler that merges classic arcade beat ‘em up gameplay with innovative mecha customization mechanics, making it one of the most beloved hidden gems of 1990s arcade gaming. Set in the year 2281, the game follows the aftermath of a 100-year interplanetary war between the Earth United Government and the alien nation of Raia. When rogue Raian military factions refuse to lay down their arms and begin launching terrorist attacks on human colonial settlements, players take control of one of four elite pilots operating customizable bipedal mechs called Variable Armors, tasked with eliminating the insurgent threat across 7 action-packed stages. Unlike most arcade brawlers of its era, Armored Warriors lets players collect and swap over 40 different mech parts dropped by defeated enemies, including arm weapons, leg upgrad

Game Guide

Whether you’re playing solo or teaming up with friends in 3-player co-op, these pro tips will help you clear all 7 stages of Armored Warriors (940920 USA) without burning through all your credits. First, pick the right mech for your playstyle: choose Gray’s standard AVP-01 Variable Armor if you’re a beginner, as it offers balanced attack, defense, and mobility that works for every stage. If you prefer fast, combo-heavy gameplay, pick Siren’s lightweight AVP-02 mech, which has 30% faster movement speed and longer combo chains, though it has lower base armor. For co-op teams, assign one player to Guss’s heavy-duty AVP-03 mech, which has 50% extra health and high melee damage to draw aggro from bosses and crowds, while another plays as Jane’s long-range focused AVP-04 to deal damage from the backline. Master the part swap system to gain a major edge: avoid picking up random parts unless they offer a clear benefit – fire-breath arm attachments let you clear crowds of small enemies in one hit, rocket launcher arms deal 2x damage to bosses, and jet leg upgrades unlock double jump, which lets you reach hidden crates with rare healing items and golden super parts. Use your special moves strategically: hold the attack button for 3 seconds to unleash a charged area-of-effect attack that clears all enemies on screen in front of you, and if you’re playing co-op, have all players press attack and jump at the same time to trigger a full-screen ultimate attack that deals massive damage to even the toughest bosses. During boss fights, always target their weak points: the first stage’s mining mech boss takes 3x damage to its cockpit on the top of its head, while the third stage’s flying aerial boss only takes damage when it dives low to attack, so save your ammo for those windows. Finally, don’t forget to check the far left and right of every stage for hidden crates – many contain full health refills and rare golden parts that double your attack power for the rest of the level.
