This is Dynasty Wars' sequel, again using the Tenchi wo Kurau/Romance of the Three Kingdoms theme.
It plays closer to Final Fight, but allows for three players at the same time.
Your characters now all fight on foot, but can still mount horses at certain points.

Portor: Kan-U in Japan, Guan Yu when read in Chinese. The "balanced guy" character. Fights with fisticuffs and has a huge beard.

Kassar: Chou-Hi in Japan, Zhang Fei when read in Chinese. The tank character. Fights bare fisted. His special can cause enemies to explode with a punch.

Subutai: Chou-Un in Japan, Zhao Yun when read in Chinese. Fast, with good range, but less powerful than a few of the other characters. Wears blue armor and fights with a sword that can cleave through enemies after certain moves.

Kadan: Kou-Chuu in Japan, Huang Zhong when read in Chinese. A old man with a beard, who attacks with a bow and arrows, but lacks exceptional close range attacks. His dash attack into special combo is a must to master if you choose him.

Abaka: Gi-En in Japan, Wei Yan when read in Chinese. Short range. A bald guy in green armor, who has Guile's flash kick for a special. Has the best combos.

The movesets in Warriors of Fate are not particularly expansive, but they are larger than Final Fight.
Most characters have multiple air throws, each has a special (Down, Up, Attack), and holding down and tapping the attack button will perform a dashing attack,
which almost makes up for the lack of dashing.
It's the vast selection of weapons that makes this game special.
A few weapons are even hidden, not being available in regular play, which need to be found through various methods.
The biggest difference between this game and most beat-em-ups is the absolutely huge crowds of enemies you'll fight.
There are generally at least half a dozen enemies on screen at a time, and you'll spend the entire game being swarmed by these crowds.
Your dashing attacks are extremely low powered, but they knock back enemies and are a great way to break up crowds when you are overwhelmed by them.
There are some differences between Japanese release and the international release.
The tie-in with Romance of the Three Kingdoms was ditched, with all of the characters losing their Chinese names into Mongolian names.
It also had a bunch of dialog and plot scenes that were removed from the international release.
When you defeat the final boss in the Japanese version, you are given the option of letting him go, which will give you a ending that is exclusive to that version.
There is a scene that was removed from the international version where a woman gives her child to your character and then jumps down a well.
The Japanese version also has three more weapons.
