Altered Beast
Wise fwom yourw gwaveGenre: action - punch n kick
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1989
System: PCE
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Worse than the Genesis version is almost every way. Hit detection is far worse than the Genesis version and results in a lot of cheap hits by enemies. The lack of a third button means there's no jump button. Instead you have to press Up but the animation is incredibly slow. Enemies love to swarm you and can kill you in seconds once they get inside your hitbox.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Levels are significantly longer than the Genesis version. They're probably 2x3 as long, even though they feature all the moments from that other version. Still, this game is very short.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Zombies and fantasy setting. Feels a bit like Clash of the Titans.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Tiny sprites compared to the Genesis version. Enemies are still well drawn, still poorly animated, and feature less detail. Same goes for the background and foreground elements. Lots of sprite flicker as well.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Voice samples are gone, robbing this game of its vibe. Music is good but missing the bass from the Genesis.
Overall Score: 37
