Altered Beast Overview
Altered Beast is a platformer set in Ancient Greece where players battle through undead and demonic forces. The central mechanic involves transforming into various beasts by collecting spirit balls from defeated enemies, which grants abilities beyond the basic human combat moves.
Players assume the role of a hero resurrected by Zeus to save his daughter Athena from the god Neff. Each stage culminates in a boss encounter on the path to this final confrontation. The available transformations, such as werewolf, dragon, tiger, and bear, are specific to individual levels and provide distinct advantages like flight or enhanced attacks.
The game supports both single-player and same-screen cooperative multiplayer. Progression involves clearing themed stages filled with enemies to ultimately face the captor of Athena.
