4Altered Beast is a side scrolling beat'em up set in ancient Greece where you fight to save Zeus' daughter Athena from the ruler of the underground. Each round you collect power-ups to transform into a beast form with different abilities. Once you transform into a beast, you fight a boss and your transformation is taken away. This is a faithful recreation of a pretty mundane and repetitive arcade game. The levels are quite boring. The digitized voices sound ok but I really just want to play in the beast form more.
