Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Beat 'em Up by Sega, appearing at the arcades in the late 1980s, and later ported to home consoles like the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis. Two pseudo sequels were made, one for the Game Boy Advance titled Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms, and a PlayStation 2 sequel titled Project Altered Beast (which was released in Japan and Europe, but not in America). The main gimmick is that your character can turn into various humanoid monsters, like werewolves and dragons.Interestingly enough, the first game of this series is considered by many as a cult classic game and an average game at the same time. The reason is because the Sega Genesis port was extremely similar to the arcade version in gameplay, sounds, and even graphics. *  although hardware limitations prevented the inclusion of the rather impressive (for the time) scaling effects sequences seen on the arcade original This doesn't sound awesome nowadays (we even have a trope called Polished Port), but don't forget we are talking about the late '80s, ports were either terrible, different, or simpler games.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Storywise, the original game has Zeus' daughter Athena being kidnapped by the evil sorcerer Neff and two centurions being resurrected to rescue her.In Project Altered Beast the story follows a man called Luke Custer who is a "Genome-Cyborg," a human whose DNA and other genetic make-up has been artificially altered allowing micro-chips containing the genetic make-up of other creatures to transform him into an anthropomorphic beast. After surviving a helicopter crash, Luke loses his memory and sets off to learn about the truth behind his past and the Genome-Cyborgs.The final form of Neff was included in a cameo role in Wreck-It Ralph, although he was colored purple in that film; to be fair, he Turns Red as he's damaged in the game.

Dragon: Glass Cannon, capable of wide area lightning shocks and hovering, but depletes the Spirit Gauge quickly, lacks a melee attack, moves really slowly, and its only defensive move is also its Limit Break. In story, it's mentioned to be the strongest Genome Chip made yet, which can potentially start the whole chain of "mythical beast chips".

The Virus: The "Genome Mist" mutates humans and animals alike. Genome Cyborgs are immune against it, which explains why our hero is doing his adventures alone and the lack of characters apart from fellow Genome Cyborgs Brad and Anastasia; they're all mutated by the mist.

Playing with Fire: The powers of the Werewolf, Weretiger, and Golden Werewolf are based on pyrokinesis — the werewolves being able to dash forward for a flaming tackle and throw fireballs that fly straight, whilst the Weretiger's fireballs move up and down in a wave pattern and its dash attack goes up then back down to attack enemies in mid-air.

Dragon has Thunder Cannon, a Wave Motion Gun that serves as an alternative to its Limit Break. Dragon's own normal attacks are also charged attacks, where holding the Square button will cause it to create more and more electric balls in its hands (depending on how far you upgraded its combo) to be thrown towards enemies.

Limit Break
 Altered Beast (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9
comment
Limit Break: Your beast forms all have a special attack that requires you to fill a special gauge before they can be used; the gauge regenerates slowly, and attacking and being attacked can also regenerate it. Werewolf's Berserker Charge has you doing a full-body rush to a direction, knocking foes up if they get hit. If upgraded with Type-S Genome, its rush distance is increased and you can do turns during the rush. Merman's Decoy has you sending out a glowing "decoy" that doesn't do damage but attracts enemies towards it, allowing you to pelt at them safely. Wendigo's Blizzard is a freezing Breath Weapon that you can aim left and right to freeze enemies around you. Garuda's Tornado is a Tornado Move that damages all around you. If upgraded, you can move around while the Tornado is active, making it able to hurt more. Minotaur's Fire Breath is a Breath Weapon of flame that burns close enemies and certain obstacles, and can be aimed left and right. Dragon's Arc Lightning is a burst of electricity all around you, capable of killing all but the strongest Mooks in one hit. If upgraded, its range is increased. Grizzly's Petrification Breath is another aimable Breath Weapon that encases enemies in stone. U.W.H's Gravity Reversal is, well, you reversing gravity (and time) for a moment; attacking enemies will cause them to fall "up", and when the effect expires, they'll all fall back down for massive damage. Weretiger's Fatal Wave is a multiple homing Razor Wind attack with massive reach, similar to the attack that Brad uses in the second phase of his battle.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Altered Beast (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The U.W.H. (Unidentified Weightless Human) twenty hit combo. On the plus side, it can kill any enemy except bosses. On the negative side, it requires memorizing a twenty button sequence, good timing and it only targets one enemy at time; in a game where monsters love to swarm you. Nonetheless, it's still necessary to defeat one of the rare enemies. The Wendigo's grab and throw ability sounds fun but is aggravating to pull off correctly, especially the grabs that are the part of a combo move, as it'll require you to grab the closest enemy after you have punched them (away) first.

Duel Boss: 3 boss fights occur without any mook harassing you: Weretiger, Rhinorian (it even will sit still and recover its health slowly if you turn into human form), and Anastasia. Instead of taking Spirit Gauge from enemies, you can find them being dropped around in Weretiger's room; you can use your human form's Deathblow attack on Rhinorian (although it'll only make the boss drop Spirit Gauge droplets instead of you absorbing it directly); and attacking Anastasia enough times will make her drop the droplets.

Body Horror: The transformation sequences. They're all quite detailed and painful looking. The scientists you see in the cutscene before Anastasia's boss fights are also in stages of slow mutation and all of them are looking pained and helpless. Then there's her own first "beast" form, i.e a giant louse with many faces of people she absorbed in front of it, her own torso sticking out of its top, and 2 extra large arms. She also throws those faces at you, by the way.

Arcade-Perfect Port

comment
Arcade-Perfect Port: A claimed example, and it was one of the biggest selling points for the Genesis / Mega Drive port. In truth, it's not even close, neither in terms of technical fidelity or content wise. From a technical perspective, the arcade version has higher quality sprites, larger color palette, much better audio quality, and scaling effects the Genesis version lacked (the Genesis version did however have parallax scrolling which the arcade version lacked). Neither is it very faithful in terms of content: The level layouts are different, the beasts perform differently than they did in the arcade, and trying what works easily on most of the bosses on the Genesis version will get you killed in five seconds in the arcade. Yeah, it SEEMS close, at least until you actually go back and play the arcade version.

Airborne Mook: The earliest examples would be a flock of ravens, then a swarm of bats and another swarm of giant hornets. Once you get the Garuda form, flying bird mooks also appear. In particular, the Accipitarian and Raum mooks encountered much later in the game are apparently part of the experiments to make the Garuda Genome Chip.

Charged Attack
 Altered Beast (Video Game) / int_589e54d3
comment
Charged Attack: The Learning Genomes for each beast forms require you to hold the button to perform. Werewolf has Hyper Jump, a Jump Attack that goes higher, allowing you to leap onto tall places. Merman has Depth Charge, a more powerful variant of its Bubble Bombs that releases a Sphere of Destruction powerful enough to blast the giant underwater membranes and cracked walls blocking your way. Wendigo has Ice Block where it creates, well, an ice block in its hands that it can then throw for a ranged attack. Some enemies, obstacles and bosses need to be hit like this. Garuda has Dive Attack, where you dive in a certain direction in midair, allowing you to pass through some obstacles and to go from point A to B much faster. Minotaur has Bull Rush, where you start slowly running forward while covered in flames, then picking up speed before you become a human train capable of breaking Suspiciously Cracked Walls. Dragon has Thunder Cannon, a Wave Motion Gun that serves as an alternative to its Limit Break. Dragon's own normal attacks are also charged attacks, where holding the Square button will cause it to create more and more electric balls in its hands (depending on how far you upgraded its combo) to be thrown towards enemies. Grizzly has Nerve Gas, where you emit gas powerful enough to stun enemies around you... from your butt. Weretiger has Genocide Rage, a rushing-forward attack similar to Werewolf's Berserker Charge but covers much longer distance and cannot be steered. Its own jump technique can also be charged like Werewolf's to make you jump higher.

Grapple Move: Wendigo form can grab enemies and obstacles and throw them around. A few of its unlockable moves also make it grab enemies for a powerful slamming attack, including a German Suplex. Minotaur also has one where it lifts the enemy up to the air with its horns, spinning it a bit and then slamming it down. In most cases, you can hit another enemies with your grabbed enemy.

New Game+: The game throws out a very subtle one. If you manage to acquire Weretiger - meaning that you have completed the game 100% - you can start a new game with all of your beast forms unlocked from the start. If you're confused to only see 6 beast forms, try scrolling left beyond Werewolf and an "invisible" option will be highlighted, out of two: Grizzly and Weretiger, and to the far right, U.W.H.

Puzzle Boss: Aeshma can't be damaged directly (and he'll pound you if you're close); you have to throw cars at him with Wendigo. Ose never touches the ground (it normally perches itself on high platforms or jump at the walls) unless you do a certain trick. Garuda form can still damage it from above, however. Rhinorian is unique among other bosses in that it will actually defend against your attacks unless when he's attacking. Belphegor, the Bonus Boss of the Elevator of Doom minigame. There's only one way of defeating it: 1) attack it enough that it becomes angry and try to roll at you. 2) Block its rolling with Minotaur, causing it to get knocked down. 3) Use Wendigo to lift it and then throw it into the water. 4) Have Merman pelt Bubble Bombs at it. Rinse, repeat.

The Ogre enemies are the Technically Living Zombie variant, i.e still living people that got mutated by the Genome Mist. Most other humanoid mooks (i.e those that aren't experimental) are implied to be the same. Dead Weight: The Bloated Corpse enemies are variant of the Living Corpses that got mutated and had their bodies, well, bloated.

Scorpion People: In Project: Altered Beast, the Final Boss Anastasia's second form has a giant scorpion-like body, complete with the long tail, and a human torso on top. The arms on the torso changes as its health bar is depleted; the fifth form has them change into scorpion pincers, making it a full scorpion-human.

Stationary Boss: One of the bosses, Aeshma, is a gigantic baby... thing who just sits in the corner throwing cars at you. You as Wendigo has to throw cars back at him. 2 of Anastasia's phases (the first and the last) have her being stationary and just do long-ranged attacks. Both forms would require you to turn into Dragon and pelt it from far away.

Normal human form: Joke Character and equivalent of Emergency Weapon, only capable of doing a short combo and absorbing Spirit Gauge from enemies (it's the quicker way of filling the gauge), and does not have any upgrades.

Transformation Sequence: The player character, after getting three "POWER-UP!" spirit balls (the Werewolf morph is pretty detailed,◊) and the villain when seeing you're transformed. Interestingly, the other transformation sequences were not nearly as detailed — they usually consisted of flickering back and forth from an image of the two forms rapidly. Instant in the C64 version.

Elemental Punch: Some of Wendigo's moves cover its fists in ice; one of Minotaur's moves is a fiery lunging straight punch. Both can also have their normal attacks laced with ice and fire respectively for more damage with the Type-N Genomes; Grizzly can also have its limbs covered in stone during its attacks with the same genome.

Metal Slime: The "Gate Keepers" are stronger-than-normal Mooks with a Battle Aura that will drop Genome Points that can be used to upgrade your beast forms' combo attacks. They also do not respawn unlike normal enemies. Certain areas in the levels are blocked unless you beat them. More fitting are the "Unique Enemies" that usually require you to open secret areas and then kill them under a minute, lest they run away; if you fail, to encounter them again, you have to go out of the area and enter it again. If you succeed, they drop special genomes that can upgrade your beast forms' normal and special attacks.

Spiders Are Scary: Xenesthis is one of the biggest bosses, overall realistic-looking and one of his attacks consist in puking out his previous meals at you. The fact that you have to get as close as possible to it to make it pounce at you (so that he becomes open after that) doesn't help, nor the mention that its spiked forelimbs are used to hold the prey still as it eats them...

In a way, Leviathan will try to fight Werewolf!Luke on land despite being clearly at a disadvantage.

Foe-Tossing Charge: Werewolf's Limit Break, Berserker Rage, is him lunging straight towards the enemies, sending them flying. One of his combos also ends with a weaker version of it. Minotaur's Learning Genome move Bull Rush is also this, with him rushing forward invincibly and knocking over enemies; it's also controllable and long-ranged unlike Berserker Rage. Minotaur also has one unlockable combo move where it briefly turns into iron as it charges forward. Rhinorian, the penultimate boss, has 2 attacks like this, both of them while being Wreathed in Flames.

Multiform Balance
 Altered Beast (Video Game) / int_eb7b1a84
comment
Multiform Balance: Your multiple beast forms have different strengths and can handle different things. Normal human form: Joke Character and equivalent of Emergency Weapon, only capable of doing a short combo and absorbing Spirit Gauge from enemies (it's the quicker way of filling the gauge), and does not have any upgrades. Use this form to conserve your Spirit Gauge as being in another form will cost it. Werewolf: Jack-of-All-Stats, as the first beast form you get, it has simple attacks and controls. Its specialty is doing high-jumping attack that lets you reach high places (before you get Garuda form anyway). Merman: a gimmicky form that's more useful in navigating in water, capable of attacking with powerful water bubbles. Wendigo: Mighty Glacier, slow but powerful, capable of lifting enemies and giant obstacles as well as ice attacks. Garuda: Fragile Speedster, capable of Flight, attacks with weak but long-ranged Feather Flechettes and Tornado Moves. The Flavor Text said that the form was developed by thinking "mobility first, self-defense second". Minotaur: Lightning Bruiser, has lots of charging attacks as well as fire breath that can burn obstacles, and capable of defending against attacks. Dragon: Glass Cannon, capable of wide area lightning shocks and hovering, but depletes the Spirit Gauge quickly, lacks a melee attack, moves really slowly, and its only defensive move is also its Limit Break. In story, it's mentioned to be the strongest Genome Chip made yet, which can potentially start the whole chain of "mythical beast chips". Grizzly: Another Glass Cannon, but limited to close-range; capable of earth-based attacks, doing very long simple combos, gas breath attacks and a quick Rolling Attack that goes into small spaces, but also depletes Spirit Gauge quickly. U.W.H: Lethal Joke Character, who can manipulate gravity, has a hard-to-perform lengthy combo but are limited on attacking one enemy at a time but can kill anyone completely, has a teleport move, and drains Spirit Gauge quickly. Weretiger: Another Jack-of-All-Stats as it's similar to Werewolf in almost every way, albeit faster and has a Diving Kick attack and a different Limit Break.

Mix-and-Match Critters
 Altered Beast (Video Game) / int_f5eda11
comment
Mix-and-Match Critters: 5 of the bosses swallowed Genome Chips and got mutated into gargantuan mix of animals. Leviathan = a rat + the Merman chip, making it look like a sauropterygia (i.e ancient aquatic lizard) with rat's features. Sasquatch = a frog + the Wendigo chip, i.e a frog with thick, hairy arms and legs that uses ice attacks. Sytry = a quadrupedal furry animal (presumably feline) + the Garuda chip, making it a gryphon. Balrog = a bat + the Minotaur chip, making for a truly demonic bat, what with its horns, spiky wings and body Wreathed in Flames. Belphegor = a flea + the Grizzly chip, turning it into a gigantic flea with a small black bear head sticking out of its front. Aside from the above, there's also the Cockatrice and its King Mook Basilisk, a secret project of Dr. Jobs where he aimed to recreate an ancient animal; it has features of both bird and reptile. The Unique Enemies are variants of these with different properties. Anastasia's Chimera form has features of many animals at once. At first she only has scorpion legs and tail for her lower body; then he grows 2 snakes out of her arms, then they change to 2 fire-breathing rams, then they change to large bat/dragon wings, then they change to large pincers (making her a full scorpion), and lastly, they change to shield-like large webbed hands.

comment
Stone Wall: The Minotaur is slow but has the greatest defense of all the transformations. When other beastmen are knocked back by an attack they fall on their back, even the larger Wendigo, but the Minotaur instead is merely knocked back on his knee, even from such powerful attacks. His Iron Guard even allows him to stop giant bosses and advancing wall/rolling rocks traps dead in their tracks.

Dead Weight: The Bloated Corpse enemies are variant of the Living Corpses that got mutated and had their bodies, well, bloated.

Our Werewolves Are Different

comment
Werewolf: Jack-of-All-Stats, as the first beast form you get, it has simple attacks and controls. Its specialty is doing high-jumping attack that lets you reach high places (before you get Garuda form anyway).

Theme Naming: Some of the mutants are named after Greek Mythology, while others, like Sytry and Ose, take their names from the demons of Ars Goetia.
