The player can look at the character's stats. By pausing the game, the player can find combat techniques―2-3 combos, wall smash, grab and throws, charges, body cross attack, snap attacks, weapon attacks, and counter-attacks. Combat in The Warriors occurs in real-time and involves pressing buttons to initiate attacks by the on-screen character. The game progresses linearly from one mission event to the next, usually presented as a cutscene. The game sees the Warriors fight their way through the ranks, building a heavy rep and getting their colors out in force, until they get an invite to a meeting of all of the gangs of New York City, which is where the film (and the last few missions of the game) begins. Grab attacks can be used for the playable character to perform their own unique power attack that will quickly decrease the enemy's health. Combos are performed with 2-3 button chains for weak attacks, strong attacks, holds and throws. Fighting takes the form of gang rumble style action with the player being assisted by other Warriors at the same time (a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 8).
The player is presented with mission objectives such as beating up a certain number of enemy gang members or stealing a certain amount of items, with more complex and creative tasks like winning a graffiti competition in SoHo, stealing goods to plant on crooked cops and rival gang members, and wild chases away from baseball bat wielding members of the Baseball Furies. From inside, the player can train (10 ranks of physical fitness such as, sit-ups, press ups, chin ups, and heavy bag, that increase stamina), talk to fellow gang members, play through rumble mode and other bonus material, walk outside to Coney Island for extra missions, or begin the next level of the story proper. The Warriors' headquarters serves as a hub. The playable characters are Swan and Ajax. An arcade game called Armies of the Night is unlocked after the main storyline of the game is completed. Most missions revolve around the Warriors attacking rival gangs' territory, though there are five bonus "flashback" missions that explain how certain members joined the gang all gangs, save for the Destroyers, are taken from the film, though some are only mentioned or briefly featured and never fought against, namely the Electric Eliminators, the Panzers and the Van Cortlandt Rangers. Cleon, Swan, Ajax, and Rembrandt are the most heavily featured characters. The player can only control one specific character in each mission, while the others are computer-controlled. The playable characters are the Warriors leader Cleon, lieutenant Swan, heavy muscles Ajax and Snow, Cleon and Swan's friends Vermin and Cowboy, the scout Fox, Harlem native Cochise, and Rembrandt, the Warriors graffiti artist. Several minor gameplay elements are mixed into the experience, such as the ability to use spray paint to mark turf or to insult other people. The Warriors is an action-adventure survival game which focuses heavily on brawling. Following its release, The Warriors received very positive reviews. Several cast members from the film returned to voice their characters in the game.
