Gameplay

In Gang Wars, up to two players can control two different characters with different fighting styles. The movements are composed of two attack types (punch and kick), as jumping to fight against enemies or overcome obstacles. Players have access to a repertoire of techniques by pushing these buttons individually or in combination. The characters can also pick up weapons for hitting, throwing projectiles and firearms. At the end of each stage the players can customise the characters' three fighting statistics (Power, Speed and Guard) depending on the number of points they have. Higher end stage scores grant more customisation points.
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Gang Wars on their July 15, 1989 issue as being the third most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles like Golden Axe.[2]
