Shadow of the Beast — About this game
A boy transformed into a beast breaks free from Maletoth after witnessing his father’s death. Guide him through forests, caves, a castle and a graveyard, using punches and jumping kicks against the creatures in his way. Collected objects do not activate on pickup: open the inventory and choose what to use. The journey spans eight regions, and later sections add armed flight to the fighting and exploration.
