How to Decide
Altered Beast is known for its faithful recreation of the original 1988 arcade beat‑em‑up experience and is used by fans of retro beat‑em‑up action. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Streets of Rage leans on its legendary electronic‑dance soundtrack and one‑time paid model; Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth emphasizes its modern remixed Castlevania soundtrack, power‑up variety and built‑in high‑score leaderboard, also offered as a one‑time purchase.
When comparing these titles, the key factors that actually matter are: the pricing model (Altered Beast’s freemium versus the one‑time purchases of the alternatives), the multiplayer capability (Altered Beast offers local split‑screen co‑op, Streets of Rage adds two‑player local co‑op, while Castlevania is single‑player only), the soundtrack style and audio presentation (original arcade music in Altered Beast, EDM in Streets of Rage, and remixed classic themes in Castlevania), and the depth of replay content (Altered Beast’s beast transformations and boss stages versus Castlevania’s power‑ups and leaderboards).
All Alternatives
“Classic arcade beat ’em up action, same core gameplay of brawling through hordes.”
“Retro platform hack‑and‑slash beat ’em up with fantasy monsters, directly comparable to Altered Beast.”
