Play Beastorizer Online

Beastorizer is a 1997 arcade game by Namco, now playable through MAME 0.243. It arrived during a period when side-scrolling beat 'em ups were common in arcades, offering a fantasy-themed alternative to the urban brawlers of the time. The game doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it delivers a solid, straightforward experience typical of its era.

You control a barbarian warrior tasked with fighting through waves of mythological creatures across several stages. The main objective is to survive each screen by defeating all enemies before moving forward. Signature mechanics include picking up and throwing smaller foes, using a screen-clearing magic attack at the cost of health, and executing simple grappling moves. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike quickly, especially when multiple large enemies crowd the screen. It feels like a chaotic, muscle-memory test where you're constantly reacting to whatever the game throws at you next.
