Altered Beast is on my top 10 "give this to an indie dev and see what they can come up with" properties.
EVERYONE wants Altered Beast to be good, and it's not.
But Sonic wasn't good for DECADES and indie developers turned that property into Sonic Mania, and it was really good!
I challenge every gamer over the age of 30 to name one game in history that SOUNDED better, that you WANTED to like more, that let you down worse than Altered Beast.
I'm waiting.
The enemies look hellish.
THE BOSSES LOOK INCREDIBLE..
The animal transformations look so fun!
For the second form, you get to be a dragon that has electric powers.
The boss takes maybe two seconds, if that, to beat with it.
Just fucking wow. Altered Beast fucking sucks.
That's funny, same score and everything, one less hit point.
Left: Japanese.
Right: US.
I was really hoping the Japanese and US versions would be different. Can you even tell which is which in these pics?
The left is the US version. The right is the Japanese version. They're not IDENTICAL but it's not a major change.
Included as the Genesis Pack-In basically to show off large character sprites and nothing more.
It's one of the worst brawlers ever. The auto-scrolling makes it feel like you're getting the bum's rush through stages. The fact that there's NO OOMPH AT ALL hurts a ton.
So, if you ever wanted to play a side-scrolling shooter with Force Lightning, this is for you.
I think it's boring.
NO pile. Next.
I should have noted Alex Kidd was only on the US version of the Mini. Lucky us.
Next..
ALISIA DRAGOON!
