Battle Beast Walkthrough + All Secrets [MS-DOS]

[@Maria_MMC_TTV]

Due to the overwhelming response of battle beast I intend to revisit it with an all new video. To be featured in this video please comment or share a battle beast story/memory. Battle beast Questions, mentions on why you hate/ like this game and requests are also accepted.

[@LackaJudgment]

I never realized how obscure this game was until I got older and would try mentioning it to fellow nostalgic 30 somethings and no one has any idea what I’m talking about. I played this on an emulator recently and my God it has not aged well in terms of gameplay, but I can’t help but love the character designs. With more characters added to the roster and with enough love this could potentially warrant a remake. Also apparently one of the devs was a Beatles fan

[@ingloriousMachina]

I'm 20, but I had this game on the computer when I was very young (we were poor, so I just inherited my dad's Windows 98 and kept it until I was like eight) and absolutely nobody I know has even heard of it. And Lord, it does not look nearly as good as it did when I was five years old.

[@smiznog9125]

Nostalgic 30 something here. Me and one of my best friends played this when we were kids on the original demo and never forgot it. "mommy mommy I want a crappy meal!" Lol. Great characters honestly. DOS fighting games were pretty unusual, the controls were also crazy hard.

[@DJSpocktimus]

This game was the highlight of my early childhood. As a fellow 30-something, I feel you. 😂

[@Malisa1990]

Fellow 30+ years old, I thought I had a fever dream and this game didn't even exist. I tried to describe this game countless times to my friends, even the ones who know about some such weird and obscure windows 95 shit and nobody knew what I was talking about! I remember the last stage with frogs and sewer section and cartoony design. I don't even know how I got to the last arena because I played it at some friends computer for maybe 2 hours at best.

[@Klayhamn]

took me like a few whole minutes to find this on google when i didn't remember what it was called...

[@nbHawkeye]

When my Dad bought our first PC back in 95 there was this little cd booklet full of software and games. I remember playing Caesar II and this.

[@rudimental8917]

I had the exact same one. Was it dark red with a white bridge and held two CDs alongside eachother? Also had encyclopedia and some other software. I have the wallet somewhere held together with tape and some of the original leaflets and CDs inside. Sadly battle beast and Caesar are gone

[@DrowningInTea]

@@rudimental8917 Yes! I had that too. It's the IBM OEM CD booklet I think. Sadly the last time I checked the booklet, the Battle Beast disc was gone and I forgot the name of the game so I tried hard to search for it lol

[@dreamguardian8320]

I remember playing this game as a kid, but I had a super hard time with the controllers. I did not know which buttons to push and did not know if I needed to use the keypad or a joint stick to play. I was never able to beat the game, so I'm glad I finally got to see the good ending.

[@DarkCreed]

I had the demo of this game and always loved the character designs and concept of cute little animals, turning into these murderous robots.

This game is a nightmare from which I cannot wake.

[@JoshuaJacobs83]

Much like Dino Riders, this is a game the best of us remember and the rest look at us like "Excuse me, what?"

[@문동선-j7d]

Haha, I also used to play this game as a kid. The way I could defeat the boss was with the green dinosaur guy's (I'm really unaware of his name) "scratch" move. It reaches quite far and has an effect of paralyzing the opponent for a very short moment. Repeating that over and over again always got me to the ending. xD

[@Maria_MMC_TTV]

문동선 I think that it's because the "scratch" move didnt load well and the game around you would freeze. So you could just wail on him

[@Toomnyusernae]

I only remember ever seeing the cover art in a magazine but never knew what it was all about. What a trip to finally see the gameplay.

[@ileriodef7837]

Back in the days when I was a kid, during family vacation, first I've got a spanish(?) game magazine with big poster in it (head-to-head sparky vs vermin). Just because I liked the cover yet couldn't get the entrails tho. I think I had a demo-game with the magazine, yet even after I've got the game itself, my English was too bad to understand what sarge was blabbering and also wanted from me. Ah the childhood. The poster was badass! Several games I remember from these times: Crusader no regret, Battle beasts, Hi-Octane, Syndicate Wars, Mad Dog Mccree, Cyberia

[@elena_tapean]

Would love to see Sparky and his gang as a movie!

[@zer00rdie]

Holy hell, the flashback! Had this game back in the day, but couldnt get past the title.

[@jonathan.v]

Wow, looking at how much damage the boss did to you with every hit, it looks like when I was a kid I played in max difficulty (the boss hit pretty hard) without noticing (at that age I didn't know about english), but even then I managed to defeat him in a not so "elegant" way: Vermin (the rat) has a technique where he uses his own head to hit you while stretching his neck; I just get in melee range (right next to him) and rapidly spam that technique over and over. Little could do the boss to get away from that trap, he recieved almost every of those hit and if he guarded himself it would still get some damage. Sadly, my favourite character is Nasator (blue dinosaur), but using Vermin was the ONLY way for me to defeat the boss (having 8 years old and without noticing it was in max difficulty of course) :

[@Maria_MMC_TTV]

Jonathan Villa he is super hard I had to play a few times. Controls don't help either lol it's a great game though

[@jonathan.v]

I agree, the boss is hard and you don't get more tries if you don't saved the game, the controls are the worst part, bieng clunky, with delay and not so much detail frames in animation you are playing the game against all odds.

[@Maria_MMC_TTV]

Jonathan Villa I did a review actually saying that. Whoever designed the special moves wasn't too smart either. You have to press 1 & 2 to enter beast mode but special attacks also involve you pressing 1 & 2. I never go for specials for that reason. Too hard to pull off, plus you lose life the more you go in and out of beast mode

[@jonathan.v]

Actually, now that you mention it, you're right!, I forgot that flaw with the special attacks, more than one time I reverted back to pet form because of that (they should have added a third button to toggle transformation). Btw, did you know you can perform combos? I only managed to do a 2 combo hit though lol

[@Maria_MMC_TTV]

[@MatronMugrai]

To think... All those years ago, I was able to almost beat this game. I could get him to the last hit, but I could never get it. Every hit just felt like it did no damage and I went from near full HP to dead, while he sat on that pixel sliver of health... At least now I've seen the end. So that's something

[@VolfMark]

Me and my brother tried to beat the boss in this game, but we couldn't even reach him as he was always shooting projectiles at our player. But the concept and the animations are fun to watch. By the way, do you have a video with all the scenarios of toads attacking citizens? I remember one when a granny is shopping for some meat and then a toad jumps at her, scaring the hell (or was it teeth) out of her. It was hilarious! 😃

Ah, man, I got this game for free with my first PC in 1997. Oh, the memories. Had to go find it again, since I remembered the tone and style of voice acting, but didn't speak English back when I played this game. I can hardly believe it's Maurice Lamarche as the voice of the Toadman - I would have thought he would have been too big for this sort of thing. Not that I'm complaining.

Brian Sanders yea pretty sure that was his special attack. I remember the others though.

I'm positive that biting charge didn't use up any special attacks, so it doesn't count. It's like Vermian's head turning into a drill. It has to have limited uses to count as a special attack.

@@Maria_MMC_TTV I personally love the game, but it does suck. If there was ever a way this game could get remade or a sequel, I would be 100% down for it. Fix the controls (and the clunky gameplay all together) add more characters (why just 6?), keep the art style because it is nice, just touch it up a bit, add more music, add more of a variety in the characters because all of them feel the exact same. Basically take the game and make it 100 times better is what I'm saying. Too bad something like that will never happen

The frame rate and slow control response are the main issue here. It's the same issue with all 7th Level games. They all had these great, colorful cartoon graphics and tons of voice acting, but they couldn't handle being actual fast and responsive action/arcade games. That's why most of these graphically rich 7th Level games had nothing but clicking on screen mechanics wise (a lot of them were edutainment). The only action games I recall were Battle Beast and Arcade America. Both of these were awfully clunky. It's not super surprising though, mind you, these were very early Windows games (again, your DOS tag is wrong in the video title, these are all Windows games and will NOT work in DOS) and early Windows games were awful because you didn't have good optimization for game development. It was easier to create multimedia rich programs like these, but your hardware resources were screwed when it came to actual gameplay mechanics.
