Altered Beast vs Apex Legends

Set in ancient Greece, this 1988 beat 'em up follows a Roman centurion revived by Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena from the demon Neff. Collect three power‑ups per level to transform into one of five mythical beasts and smash through hordes of undead and monsters. Now available on Android and iOS, the game retains its classic arcade feel with single‑player, co‑operative and split‑screen modes, letting players experience the retro action on modern devices.
