An alien entity known as Geegus threatens the Earth in the year 3091. As all of Earth's forces have been defeated, a scientist uses his recently-built time machine to find the greatest fighters of different eras to compete against Geegus.

World Heroes is a versus fighting game. It features a cast of characters from different countries and time periods, ranging from ninjas to a cybernetic super-soldier. The characters are based on real historical figures, but are endowed with supernatural powers. The player selects a character who then fights his way through standard one-on-one matches or takes on an opponent in a Deathmatch, where spiked walls and landmines add to the danger.

Trivia

References

Most characters in the game are modeled after historical figures or famous people. * Hanzo is based on Hattori Hanzo (1541-1596) , a feared Japanese ninja from the Tokugawa Era who was called "Devil Hanzo"; * Dragon is based on Bruce Lee (1940-1973), a famous Chinese martial artist; * Janne is based upon Joan of Arc (1412-1431), a female French commander who was executed for being a heretic; * J. Carn is based upon Genghis Kahn (11??-1227), leader of the Mongols and conquerer of Asia; * Muscle Power is based upon Hulk Hogan (1953-), a very famous US wrestler, and a fifteen-time wrestling champion in various circuits; * Rasputin is based upon Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (1869-1916), also known as the Mad Monk, believed to be a psychic and a healer, who had a high influence over the Tsar Nicholas II and his family. * Brocken, on the other hand, seems to be based upon a Nazi soldier from WWII Germany.
