Altered Beast Genesis

Although Altered Beast came during the 16-bit era of video games, this original from Sega remains fun and addictive. Playable in single or multi-player modes, Altered Beast is a side-scrolling, beat 'em up, platforming game. The player controls the character who is a dead centurion brought back to life by Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena. Set in an Ancient Greek-inspired backdrop, players navigate the centurion battling through various monsters and other creatures. The game has five levels, including the graveyard, the Underworld, a cavern, Neff's Palace, and the base at Dis. As the title of the game implies, the centurion, through various powerups scattered throughout the game, has the ability to change forms such as a werewolf, a thunder weredragon, a werebear, and a weretiger.
