World Heroes Anthology is a complete compilation of the World Heroes series, one of SNK Playmore Corporation's most popular 2D-fighting series. Included in the collection are World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet and World Heroes Perfect.
In World Heroes Anthology, players battle through history in a tournament facilitated by a time machine, so many of the game's dozens of characters are based on actual historical figures. World Heroes Anthology includes hand-to-hand combat as well as weapons-based fighting, and super-human abilities allow characters to perform powerful special attacks.
