Altered Beast
Altered Beast’s iconic beastman has been resurrected many times for each system generation, and his adventure remains delightfully strange. The first game was released in 1988 and was notable for allowing players to transform into different powerful creatures by collecting "Spirit Balls". The series follows a resurrected warrior who is tasked by the gods to rescue Athena from the clutches of various mythological creatures. The franchise has gained a cult following over the years and has been ported to various gaming platforms. It is also recognized for its memorable "Rise from your grave!" voice clip at the start of each game.
