Altered Beast is a classic side scrolling, platform, beat ’em up game. In ancient Greece, a Centurion who had died in battle is resurrected from the dead by Zeus. The Centurion is ordered by Zeus to save his daughter Athena, who had been kidnapped by Neff. To become able to withstand the perils, the warrior gets the ability to collect three spirit balls from albino wolves on each level, the last of which transforms him into a human/beast hybrid of formidable power.
After a series of battles, the centurion finally defeats Neff and rescues Athena. In the original arcade game, the end credits are interspersed with images of actors in costumes for the different characters and monsters of the game, implying the whole game was a film production.
