Altered Beast

Altered Beast description

As the cultural heritage of other peoples of the world, legends and myths of Ancient Greece, too, got a pass into the niche of interactive entertainment. One of the games, which opened gamers antique aesthetic era, in surroundings which will unfold the action of each of its five levels — arcade fighter Altered Beast. First appeared in 1988, "Sega", the game went to the current tour worldwide. The number of platforms that Altered Beast received a lifetime registration, the eyes on the forehead climb in the literal sense: Amiga Amstard, Atari, Arcade, Commodore, Master System, MSX, NES, ZX Spectrum... And the list can say, is just beginning!

The reasons for this surprising phenomenon is typed at least three. First, familiar to almost every player on the Ground at Mega Man, Commander Keen and, what the hell, Golden Axe gameplay, which amounts to a deft movement of his virtual alter ego game locations along with overcoming, or — most often — destruction of various kinds, inanimate and very much even mowing the lawn. In Altered Beast the player can move in only one direction — forward, naskakivaya on foe a ten foot jump or dodging their dive carcasses, almost falling on his back.

Secondly, the plot is the Foundation, on which rests a number of gameplay features. The fact that our hero, in General, — Homo sapiens is an ordinary, albeit athletic. Besides have been lying in the tomb. Dead, in a word. And it is this mediocrity God named Zeus cleverly decided to play in his personal dispute with another deity Hades, who, using long-standing veto on any fight between the exalted, has kidnapped Athena, Zeus represented the most that neither is a native daughter. Deciding to do without a Herculean porridge and natural excessive traction on the exploits of the dad in absentia awarded resurrected warrior full Amnesty with the graveyard dungeon and some, ahem, privileges in the hellish Inferno, where our hero enters the world of the dead...

Not being able to avoid the use of "gifts" of God, a man for the battle with infernal forces on an equal footing is forced to become the wolf, then bear, then tiger, then dragon, then again to wolf, but much more ferocious... And the characteristics of each level include the phenomenon of only one specific creature abilities which best suit the specifics of what face. Wolf, bear and tiger — animals of the same type, and presented in Altered Beast their mystical powers are very similar. Unlike electric dragon who can surround himself with a protective field of pure DC, Trinity chordates wielding fire, balls of fire and special techniques, in which the body of any of these mammals just the same, crashes into the enemy, dealing true damage to animal monsters Azovskogo wit.

Finally, in the third — the fine dignity of an ancient fighter from the same developers from Japan, who released Castlevania, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and After Burner II. Despite a hefty loss when porting from SEGA colors from the palette and hence the quality of the image, the version for DOS looks at least authentic. For example, the pleasure of contemplation pleasing to the eye in soft, rich shades diminished, but what is happening on the screen surrealism emphasized in one fell swoop. And it's kind of nice.
