Night Warriors - Darkstalkers Revenge...
Sometime ago, I picked up the VHS version of Night Warriors - Darkstalkers Revenge...
For some reason that defies description, video game based anime have a tendency to be really bad, but, Night Warriors - Darkstalkers Revenge was much better than I expected. There is plenty of good wholesome violence and bloodshed. I used to have all four subtitled VHS volumes. Eventually, I repurchased this series on DVD. I gave Night Warriors - Darkstalkers Revenge a 4 out of 5. The Night Warriors - Darkstalkers Revenge soundtrack CD has 21 tracks and I liked 13 tracks for a total of 61.9% which works out to a rating of 3 out of 4.
According to Wikipedia...In another world, another time, all the old legends of vampires... of ghosts... of werewolves... and all manner of things that go bump in the night ...are real. And as all the old legends make so very clear, humans are the natural enemies... The Darkstalkers.
