Shadow of the Beast, known as Shadow of the Beast: Mashou no Okite (シャドー・オブ・ザ・ビースト 魔性の掟) in Japan, is an action game developed by Reflections Interactive for the Amiga and published by Psygnosis. It was brought to a variety of systems including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System in 1991 and 1992 respectively. It was followed by Shadow of the Beast II and the Amiga-exclusive Shadow of the Beast III.
Contents
Story
The player controls the Beast Messenger. Born a human child and kidnapped at a young age by mages who serve the Beast Lord, the Beast Messenger was transformed into a monster and had all his memories wiped to enter a lifetime of servitude. However, suddenly, all his memories return to him, and he now seeks revenge and to escape.
Gameplay
and jump. performs attacks, pressing it while in midair performs a jumpkick. The player has 12 hit points. Losing all of them (gradually or through instant kill attacks/traps) restarts the game as there is no lives system. A bazooka-like weapon can be found later on. A short flying section also exists. The hit detection is very strict; often, the player will run into situations were damage is basically unavoidable, or it's more convenient to take a hit on purpose and use the resulting invincibility to avoid further damage by running away.
The game was a baby step into the realm of non-linear game design, as stages can be at least partially explored and re-explored without having all key items. A fixed set of objectives needs to be performed to play the game in full, however.
After collecting the bazooka, the game's graphics can glitch when dying or after leaving the castle. (TODO: Confirm this also happens in the Japanese version)
Versions
The Amiga version was considered impressive for its time with atmospheric soundtrack and graphics, which had multiple scrolling planes, color usage and diverse graphics, however the Sega Mega Drive was scaled back, with some enemies missing or their positions being altered.
The Mega Drive game was not optimised for NTSC machines, and thus runs too fast. This was corrected in the Japanese release, which also makes adjustments to the graphics, adds a proper ending sequence and includes a much-needed additional healing item in a later stage. The changes were reportedly made at the request of Japanese publisher Victor Musical Industries.
The Master System version is even more scaled back from the Mega Drive port. Most of the interior background art is removed and replaced with simplified dark or blue backgrounds. It has no cutscenes like the ones seen in 16-bit ports and instead they are replaced with black and white text.
The developers of the Master System version somehow felt the need to introduce an inventory system to the game. In every other version, power-ups and other items are instantly used while in the Master System port, they are added to an inventory, which is accessible by pressing the button. While this can be considered a benefical update, as it allows players to stock up and use items later, the inventory can only carry 7 items at a time, and the game gives no indication about the items in the player's possession; not even the manual explains what these items do and the only way to find out their effects is to use them, which may result in players wasting a precious quest item and potentially render the game unwinnable as used quest items do not return. In the original game, all common and important items are used immediately after picking up. Using as an inventory screen also forces players to press on the D-Pad to jump, which is not the best button configuration for a side-scrolling platforming game. Why the developers decided to make this change is unknown.
The Master System version also announces a boss every time one appears, making this the only port of the game in which names of the bosses can be seen in-game.
