Beauty and the Beast is a platformer released in 1994 for the Nintendo NES. Players control the Beast as he navigates various levels to rescue Belle, fighting off enemies and overcoming obstacles along the way. The main objective is to reach Belle by progressing through increasingly challenging stages filled with traps and foes.
The game's pace is steady, blending action and exploration as players jump across platforms and engage in combat. A distinctive mechanic is the Beast’s ability to attack enemies directly, which differs from many platformers where players rely mostly on jumping. This feature adds a layer of strategy in managing health and timing attacks.
One unusual idea in Beauty and the Beast is its faithful adaptation of the classic fairy tale into a side-scrolling format, focusing on the Beast's perspective rather than Belle’s. The game’s visuals and level designs emphasize the dark and mysterious atmosphere, setting it apart from typical colorful platformers of the era.
