Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms

Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms is a 2002 beat 'em up video game developed by 3d6 Games and published by Sega for the Game Boy Advance. It was released by THQ in North America in 2002 and by Sega in Europe in 2003. The game is a handheld sequel to Sega's 1988 arcade video game Altered Beast. The game was the result of a publishing deal between Sega and THQ, with third-party American developer 3d6 creating two Advance titles, also including The Revenge of Shinobi. Upon release, Guardian of the Realms received mixed reviews, with critics praising the game's likeness to the original release, but critiquing the long level design, limitations to the combat, and inconsistent visuals.
