Description

Altered Beast, released for the Sega Genesis in 1989, is a legendary side-scrolling beat-'em-up that transports players to a mythological world of gods and monsters. Summoned by Zeus, players take on the role of a resurrected warrior tasked with rescuing Athena from the clutches of the demon lord Neff. Armed with raw strength and mystical powers, the warrior fights through hordes of undead creatures, demons, and mythical beasts.

The game's defining feature is the ability to transform into powerful beasts, including a werewolf, dragon, and bear, by collecting spirit orbs dropped by defeated enemies. These transformations unlock devastating attacks and abilities, adding a dynamic edge to the gameplay. With its iconic "Rise from your grave!" opening line, haunting soundtrack, and challenging combat, Altered Beast became a showcase title for the Genesis and remains a cult classic among retro gaming fans.
