Play Doomsday Warrior Online

Summary

Doomsday Warrior (known in Japan as *Taiketsu!! Brass Numbers*) drops you into the chaotic ranks of the Doom Squad, a band of fighters enslaved by the sorcerer Main. One member turns on the group, becoming the titular Doomsday Warrior and setting out to dismantle the squad from the inside.

The game plays like a classic 90s fighter: you punch, kick, jump and trigger special moves by combining attacks up close. After each bout you pick the next former comrade to face, and every victory hands you Ability Points that can be spent on Arm Power, Leg Power, Defense, Vitality or Soul Power, letting you shape the fighter’s strengths. The stat‑boost system feels like a light RPG layer on top of the button‑mashing action.

Critics were split – Famitsu gave it a modest 24/40, while Power Unlimited rated it 75% but dismissed it as a boring beat‑em‑up. Despite the mixed reception, the title resurfaced on Nintendo’s Classics service in February 2021, giving a new generation a chance to test the betrayal‑driven brawl.

Storyline

In Doomsday Warrior you start as a member of the Doom Squad, a band of fighters serving the sorcerer Main (a vengeful angel in the Japanese version). Your chosen character turns against the squad to protect Earth, forcing you to battle former comrades such as the hot‑tempered Sledge, ex‑soldier Layban, heavy‑metal frontman Amon, plant‑half hybrid Daisy, fire‑breathing P. Lump, alien lizardman Grimrock, and the liquid‑metal shapeshifter Nuform. Each opponent brings a distinct fighting style, from Grimrock’s claws and tail to Nuform’s ability to form weapons and shields.

After clearing the Doom Squad, the final gauntlet pits you against three back‑to‑back bosses. First, Shadow mimics your own moves as a dark, shapeless foe. Next, Ashura, Main’s strongest warrior, wields demonic strength and energy. The climax is Main himself, who flies, summons lightning, fire, and light, generates force fields, and wields a sword of light before retreating into the sky once defeated.
