RETRO REVIEWS - "A coin-op conversion to the letter" [87%] - Robin Hogg, The Games Machine #19 (June 1989) - “If you're a fan of beat 'em ups, this one's made for you.” [87%] Computer & Video Games Complete Guide to Consoles Vol. 1 (1989)

CLASSIC GAME FACTS - Originally released in arcades worldwide in 1988 - Altered Beast was a Genesis pack-in title in North America - Altered Beast was officially ported to NEC's PC Engine and CD-ROM² systems

8 of 25im trying to play with my friend but the multiplayer doesn’t work. When I put the code in it says invalid room code. So I hope you guys could reach back. But besides that its a great game!
How can i enjoy the game when I can only play a couple levels then I die with no option to continue?
The game is amazing good game of the génesis
The game is great but when you go to save you can’t some issues I’m guessing this is happening with all sega games because golden axe is the same way! Please fix this sega! This is a great game!
Advertising is very intrusive, it took over 30 seconds to get thru an ad, just to get hit with another, I haven’t even hit START yet! Wow!
I bought a Kishi Razer to play this game with since the controls on the screen are too clunky. It does work well with this game. I’d like a game upgrade patch to facilitate better gameplay. Thanks in advance.
I’m happy because it’s been ported to mobile, disappointed because it’s infested with ads. Would not recommend.
I SAID, “Love it!!!”
