Warriors of Rock retains the core gameplay feature of the Guitar Hero series, challenging players to match scrolling notes on screen to actions on special game controllers for lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. To counter the weakening rhythm game market and the perceived lack of focus of its predecessors, Warriors of Rock was designed to return to the series' roots, focusing heavily on lead guitar and towards the existing base of skilled players of the series. The game features a remade career mode called "Quest" set to a story influenced by heavy metal and narrated by Gene Simmons. Through Quest mode, the player recruits eight characters each with their own unique power that slightly alters how the core note-matching game is played, leading to combined powers that they use to free the Demigod of Rock from enslavement from a metal machine called the Beast. Part of the story is influenced by the lyrics of the song "2112" by Rush, who narrate this portion of the game, while the finale is set to a new song performed by Megadeth and written by Dave Mustaine specifically to challenge Guitar Hero players. Other single and multiplayer modes feature improvements from previous games in the series as well as incorporation of the new gameplay powers from Quest mode. The game features 93 songs on disc, and compatibility with existing exportable songs and downloadable content from several previous games in the Guitar Hero series.
