It's a shame this game never got the attention Beast 1&2 got, as it's by far the best in the series. Heck, this one is actually a fun game and not just a pretty tech demo.

My history with this game is quite amazing. Back in the day there was a small computer shop we bought our Amiga games for. The owner would allow trades of games if they were around the same value. This was one of the games we traded for. This my tied-for-second favorite Amiga game (the other in the slot is the amazing Agony), the game we traded in for this one being my absolute favorite, Leander, which was developed by Traveler's Tales (yes, the lego games guys) and published by... surprise, Psygnosis. Want my childhood in one word? Psygnosis.

I remember buying this game on a Thursday night back in '92. I would have been 15 at the time. Mum would do grocery shopping on Thursday nights and I would tag along, usually hanging around the Games World store and newsagents. I saw this one on the shelf and it was one of those big box games so I was excited to get home and play it. Told my best mate about it the next day and he was keen to come round and play it too. Man I wish I could be 15 again... life was simple back then :)

For YEARS Sony owned the game studio that developed the original Shadow-of-the-Beast series, just to close it and develop a new Beast-game with another game studio which is nothing but a boring reboot... We only can imagine now, how Shadow of the Beast 4 made by Studio Liverpool would have been...
@legionbeast6 жыл бұрын
While Sony did do a dick move, at least the reboot is actually rather well done and nothing but a labor of love.
@Karanthaneos6 жыл бұрын
The reboot is actually quite mediocre. There are bits of the atmosphere of the original, but you're constantly taken out of it with the score and text all over the screen, making it kinda silly and quite arcadeish. There are some good ideas there, but the story itself is kinda redone and sometimes quite confusing, even more than the originals. You chase Zelek to get your sister back after you recover your freedom, and half way through the game she just disapears. Also, the final fight against Maletoth, was quite lame, as you don't really fight him, it's more like him piloting a huge demon monster, but then he shows weak and frail. I don't know, there are some good ideas in the reboot, and I like the new design for beast Aarbron, but in the end it just went under everybody else's radar due to its mediocrity.
@legionbeast6 жыл бұрын
The reboot was something of a retelling of the first game, hence why you fight a big ugly thing at the end of the game and you can even get the original ending by choosing to become human. The only text that was in the way in the reboot was mostly due to the hint system being on, but if you mean numbers during combat, then I could understand.

Some clever use of puzzles, and I do like some of the individual sprite assets such as rocks and trees, and some of the enemies. In my opinion it lacks the appeal of the first Beast game which had a more cohesive look and feel to it, not in the least thanks to David Whittakers incredible music and Roger Dean's otherwordly art and lettering. Shadow of the Beast was weird, strange and creepy in the best possible way. Shadow of the Beast III is all of those things but in a bad way. The protagonist in SotB 1 is a cool, scary looking anti hero. The savage cave man type of SotB 2 is a bit less awesome, but atleast feels somewhat congruent with the SotB universe. In SotB 3 you play as some hobo looking guy with a flabby dad bod who looks like he is about to take a piss in the local park and yell at pigeons.
