Altered Beast for iPhone

Quick Summary

Altered Beast is a modern remake of SEGA’s classic side-scrolling brawler. You assume the forms of powerful beasts—wolf, bear, tiger, and dragon—and are resurrected by Zeus to fight through a Hell-like version of ancient Greece. The core loop is straightforward hack-and-slash combat against waves of enemies.
