Play Beauty & the Beast Roar of Beast Online

Beauty & the Beast Roar of the Beast came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Sunsoft. It was part of that wave of licensed platformers that tried to capture a movie's feel with 16-bit graphics and straightforward action. You don't see many people talk about it now, but it had a certain moody look that stood out on the system.

You control the Beast, moving through the castle and its grounds, screen by screen. Your main goal is to rescue Belle from Gaston and his hunters, fighting off wolves, bats, and other enemies with your claws. The combat is simple but weighty; landing a hit feels solid. You also collect rose petals to extend your time, adding a light puzzle element to the exploration. The game moves at a deliberate pace and can be surprisingly tough in spots. It feels like a straightforward, atmospheric brawler that leans into the character's strength.
