Altered Beast is a side scrolling beat 'em up game with light platform elements. It has five levels and can be played by up to two players simultaneously. The game's premise is that the player is originally dead but then resurrected and empowered by the Olympian god Zeus to act as his champion. The task is to rescue the goddess Athena from the underworld ruler Neff, who will appear at the end of each level and take on different forms to defeat the players.
The player can punch, kick and jump. Combat takes place across five levels set in Ancient Greece and populated by Neff's minions, aggressive undead creatures and monsters resembling those from Greek mythology. Whenever a player defeats a two-headed wolf, they can obtain a Spirit Ball power-up increasing their strength and size. Collecting three Spirit Balls allows transformation into a powerful beast form before the player has to face Neff. The beast forms include a werewolf, a thunder weredragon, a werebear, a weretiger, or a golden werewolf. Each beast form grants its own abilities, such as the dragon's lightning bolts or the bear's petrifying breath. If the player fails to collect at least three Spirit Balls and cannot transform, Neff will appear regardless when enough time has elapsed in each level.
In the original arcade game, the end credits include the revelation that the whole game actually depicted a staged film production and not a true battle between magical beings.
Altered Beast is a 1988 beat 'em up arcade game developed and manufactured by Sega. The game is set in Ancient Greece and follows a player character resurrected by Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena from the ruler of the underworld, Neff. Through the use of power-ups, the player character can assume the form of different magical beasts. After its initial arcade release, it was ported to several home video game consoles and home computers, including the Sega Genesis, for which it was a pack-in game.
The game was developed by Makoto Uchida, who developed the game as his first project as a lead developer. Uchida and his team used the System 16 arcade system board for its graphical capabilities with sprites. Altered Beast was ported numerous times in addition to its Genesis conversion, including for the Master System by Sega and to several computer systems and video game consoles by various third parties.
Altered Beast's arcade release and its various ports have all received mixed reviews. The game has been rereleased several times for various consoles and as part of video game compilations. Two sequels to the game have been developed.
