Shadow of the Beast — About this game
A transformed hero searches a hostile realm for the Beast Lord who stole his human form. Run across the landscape, enter caverns and explore routes filled with creatures, ladders and dangerous gaps. Fists work at close range, but collected weapons and keys help overcome obstacles that simple attacks cannot solve. Hidden hearts restore your dwindling health and reward careful exploration. Choosing when to fight, when to jump and which passage to investigate is central to reaching the ruler behind the curse.
