Altered Beast, known in Japan as Juuouki (獣王記, Beast King Chronicle), is a Sega System 16 arcade beat-'em-up game developed by the Team Shinobi members of Sega R&D 1 and manufactured by Sega. First released to Japanese arcades in June 1988 to critical and commercial success, it has established itself as a classic and seminal Sega title, and has subsequently been ported to a number of home video game systems.

Story and Gameplay

In Ancient Rome, the evil Demon God, Neff, has kidnapped Zeus' Daughter, Athena. Zeus revives a centurion from the dead to rescue his daughter. This is where the first stage starts, with Zeus saying the famous "Rise from your grave!" line. The centurion must kill the Wolf-like Demons that flash multiple colors (the Mega Drive version lacks the flashing effect and the characters stay blue instead). Killing them unleashes a spirit ball that the player must grab in order to transform. The first two increase muscle mass slightly while the third spirit ball will transform the centurion into a beast depending in what stage the player is in. The Sega Master System version lacks the first muscle increase, jumping directly to the body builder physique.

Once the player has changed into a beast they can then confront Neff, who will appear and say "Welcome to your doom!" and create a smoke cloud which then disappears revealing a boss monster that also depends on the current stage as well. If the player has not collected three spirit balls before reaching Neff, he will run away two times, after that the level will start over from the beginning. In the Sega Mega Drive version, the player will have to fight Neff in human form on the third encounter. After each boss fight Neff's head appears from a hole in the ground and steals all three of the player's Spirit balls, causing the player to revert back to their normal state. The player then proceeds to jump down the hole continuing to follow Neff into the next stage.

Stages

Here is a rundown of each stage. There are five stages in all:

	Stage 1 - Werewolf
	This is the Acropolis at Hades, which is a graveyard of sorts. The centurion is revived from here by Zeus. Upon collecting three spirit balls in this stage, the player will transform into a Werewolf. The Werewolf has the ability to fire energy balls from its hands and do an energy kick that makes it fly across the screen damaging anything in the way without stopping until the player reaches the edge of the screen. At the end of the stage, Neff becomes Aggar, a huge legless horned demon that can launch his head off and grow a new one instantaneously. As a result, Aggar can fire up to five heads at the player at nearly the same time. The heads then fall straight to the ground. In the Arcade version of this stage Alex Kidd's name as well as Stella's are engraved on some of the destroyable tombstones. Slow Feet zombies litter the place, including self destructing and hard-punching Headless Horrors.
	Stage 2 - Weredragon
	The player is inside a cave; the first step on the way to the Underworld. Chicken Stingers, an enemy who would later appear as a steed in Golden Axe, are in this stage (they act the same too). Rattle Tails jump from the ground and ceiling vertically. Strange blobby things known as Round Leeches will jump on the player's head and suck their health away, but are easily destroyed by moving the directional button once it is on the player's head. With three Spirit Balls, the player transforms into a Weredragon, which uses electric attacks. Punching makes the Weredragon shoot lightning from its fist while kicking causes it to generate lightning all over its body. At the end of the stage, Neff changes into Octeyes, a multi-eyed fern, who can fire poisonous spores in the form of eyeballs at the player which slowly hover across the screen.
	Stage 3 - Werebear
	In this stage the player is in a cavern deeply carved into a rock basin. There are bottomless pits everywhere which will cause an instant death for the player and any enemies who fall in. With three Spirit Balls, the player transforms into a Werebear in this stage. The Werebear can turn opponents to stone by pressing the punch button and can curl up into a ball and bounce with the kick button. Neff changes into the Moldy Snail, a dragon with a snail shell. It must be attacked repeatedly to make its head come out of the snail shell in the arcade version if the player wishes to do any damage. Neff can also shoot slow-moving swirling fire to damage the player. (Hint: The Bouncing ability makes the fight easier in the Mega Drive version of the game.)
	Stage 4 - Weretiger
	The player is getting closer to Neff's lair as they are now in some sort of sanctuary that serves as the gates to the underworld palace. The Slow Feet make a reappearance in this stage. Upon collecting three Spirit Balls here, the player changes into the Weretiger. The Weretiger is the same as the Werewolf except that all of its attacks are vertical. At the end, Neff changes into the Crocodile Worm, a floating beast that breathes fire out of its belly and moves up and down as well as forward slightly. In the arcade version, the fire can pretty much waste a single credit (3 lives) with one shot due to the knock down effect present in the game. He also shoots miniature red Weredragons from his body as well.
	Stage 5 - Golden Werewolf
	This is the underworld itself, complete with Dark Unicorns and Gory Goats as well as a host of other nasty new and old enemies. The player will turn into the Golden Werewolf, which is redundant as it is, as it is only slightly stronger than the regular Werewolf. That being said, its attacks are the same. Neff takes on his true form at the end of the stage: a rhino-man who ironically was a statue that appeared in the background of Stage 4. Neff either charges at the player with his horn extended forward, or tries to punch the player. Right before each attack, puffs of steam come out of his nose and he shakes a little.

Ending

Basically, in the arcade version, the ending acts like the whole game was a movie. All the monsters and the main characters remove their costumes and celebrate the completion of their movie with a toast and mugs of beer. Then it shows a drawn version of each person involved with the game's creation except that a white bar appears over their eyes, giving the impression that they don't want the player to actually see their faces. Typical Sega humor for that time period.

The Mega Drive version's ending is the same except that the movie cast sequence doesn't happen. Instead, the credits roll and the Centurion is standing off to the side of the screen with the background of Stage 1 behind him. Interestingly, the player can control the Centurion during this sequence. When he touches the words of the credits, he acts like an enemy knocked him down, but he will not die from it. In addition to this, if the player decides to play the Mega Drive version again without turning off the power, they will start from the beginning of the game, but there will be more powerful and dangerous enemies lurking in the earlier levels (many of the ones that appeared in Stages 4 and 5). The boss fights also become more fierce. The ending remains unchanged. After the third playthrough loop, enemies and bosses don't become stronger anymore.

History

Legacy

This game was ported to various consoles, including the Sega Mega Drive, which it was bundled with during the console's early years. This version was considerably remixed in terms of enemy layout and hit detection, making it easier to play. The Mega Drive version also added settings for the player to change, such as starting level and difficulty, accessible by pressing + START on the title screen^[63].

There was also a watered-down port for the Sega Master System and several ports to non-Sega systems, including console rivals the Famicom, PC Engine and CD-ROM². The Master System version is especially notable for receiving abysmal reviews.

In 2006, an emulated version of the Mega Drive port was released for the Wii Virtual Console, followed by the Xbox 360 in 2009, then Steam and iOS in 2010. The iOS version was removed from iTunes in 2015.^[64]

And despite being heavily ported and widely distributed, the game did not see a sequel until Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms for the Game Boy Advance in 2002. This game was developed by the now-defunct 3d6 Games, and the game's concept is quite consistent with the original game's formula. There were also new beasts to transform into as well as power-ups.

A second sequel, called Juuouki: Project Altered Beast, was developed by WOW Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. This game is set in a more modern scenario and the story follows a "Genome-Cyborg" named Luke Custer. The game is heavily criticized for bad camera angles and some other crippling programming mistakes.

In 2012, Neff made a cameo appearance in the CGI-animated Disney film Wreck-It Ralph alongside fellow Sega villain Dr. Eggman, where he attended Clyde's Bad-Anon meetings in his rhino-man form. He has no speaking lines of his own in the film. Despite his small role, he was prominently featured in promotional media for the film.

In 2013, the Mega Drive version was converted to 3D and released for the Nintendo 3DS as 3D Altered Beast. It was later included in the compilation Sega 3D Classics Collection.

It is commonly included in Sega's compilation titles, from Mega Drive Classic Collection, Sega Mega Drive Collection for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable (both the Arcade and Mega Drive versions, PSP only contains the Mega Drive one), Wii's Virtual Console, Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for Xbox 360 and PS3, Sega Mega Drive Classics for Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch Online service's Mega Drive/Genesis games.

The 1992 single, "Rise From Your Grave" by acid house group Phuture, samples the eponymous phrase from Altered Beast.

Development

Altered Beast was primarily designed by Golden Axe creator Makoto Uchida.
