Rise from your grave!!!!
Released by Capcom in 1988, Altered Beast is a side-scrolling beat ’em up with a twist: instead of just fighting enemies with punches and kicks, your character can transform into powerful beasts with special abilities. The game is set in ancient Greece, where you play as a resurrected warrior tasked with saving Zeus’s daughter from the evil god Neff.
The gameplay is straightforward but fun. You move from left to right through stages filled with enemies, like zombies, skeletons, and mythological creatures. Along the way, you collect power-up orbs that allow your character to transform into a beast — for example: a wolf, dragon, bear, or tiger. Each form has its own attack style and unique abilities, making combat feel varied and exciting.
The visuals are bold and colorful, with large, detailed sprites and over-the-top animation that were typical of late ’80s Capcom arcade games. The soundtrack is also memorable, with heroic and dramatic tunes that match the mythological setting. One of the game’s hallmarks is its over-the-top “1-UP” messages and transformations, giving it a campy, fun vibe.
Altered Beast was hugely popular in arcades and later became one of the first games bundled with the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive console in North America, which helped cement its status among gamers of that era. Even today, it’s remembered fondly for its mix of beat ’em up action, crazy transformations, and classic arcade charm.
