Altered Beast vs Counter-Strike 2
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
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.
Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

4.5 (4)So much fun
Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.

Sunk way too many hours into Counter-Strike 2. Pure skill-based gunplay. No real complaints. Would recommend.
