Sega is a developer that’s rich with beat ’em up history…but that all began with Altered Beast! Sure, they had some beat ’em ups in the arcade and on home platforms before this…but were any of them really all that remarkable?
As we enter what many consider to be Sega’s arcade golden age, they really “power up” their beat ’em up chops, since it ends up being a critical component to their success on both sides of the ocean. Besides, who doesn’t love transforming beast men?
