Game Introduction

The Combatribes is a group of three vigilantes, led by Berserker, that protect the citizens of New York City from various gangs. One day, their former member, Martha Splatterhead, is captured by one of the more powerful crime syndicates and she is turned into a cyborg against her will. Now the Combatribes must track down the big boss of the gang and find the whereabouts of Martha Splatterhead.

Game Play

There are three different fighters in the game and each has different skills. Players control one of the following characters:

Berserker blue - strength and speed equal
Bullova yellow - strength high and speed low
Blitz red - strength low and speed high

The game has six levels that each have a unique scenario and each of the first five has a different gang with a different boss. The levels are as follows:

The Motorcycle Nuclear Warheads Boss: Fats, a fat man with a wooden board Scenario: a street corner
The Demon Clowns Boss: Salamander, a fireeater with a torch Scenario: an amusement park
The Slash Skate Screamers Boss: Thrash, a weird punk with a hammer Scenario: a rollerskating rink
The Stadium Barbarians Boss: Tomahawk, a chief with a tomahawk Scenario: a baseball stadium
The Slaughter Troopers Boss: Swastika, a cyborg general with robotic weapons Scenario: a security building
The Final Battle which takes place at a docking pier where all the gangs and bosses are encountered again. After that, you face against Martha Splatterhead along with one or two clones if there are additional players and then the game ends.

During each level, some items such as the motorcycle, pinball machine and race car can be picked up and used as weapons.
