A generic name but a decent brawler

On the distant planet of Raia humans and Raians are waging war for whatever reason and it's up to a ragtag quartet of selectable heroes to defeat them in 7 levels of hardcore clobbering.

Armored Warriors (the most unimaginative title they could have fought of) differs from the usual beat-em-ups out there in that you play as humans wearing giant mech suits. The left-to-right level progression remains but this one is kept fresh by the ability to attach limbs broken off enemies to your own mech for multiple combos and a wide variety of attacks. It's fun and keeps it fresh.

The level design is a bit more lively too and features lots of smash-able objects. Bonus rounds featuring run-and-gun shooting also add to the fun. Overall, this is better than some of the older Capcom beat-em-up arcade games I have been playing recently and ought to be more popular.
