The game is set in the streets of 1979 New York where street gang turf wars are in full throttle. The Warriors group has been accused of killing a fellow gang leader.
In order to play the game, players must usher The Warriors back to their turf far away from the starting point, Attack of the Fanboy reported. Thousands of gang members are after The Warriors so they need to look out for them, fend them off and survive.
