Reception
Reviewing the Windows version, a Next Generation critic called Battle Beast "an incredibly fun and visually stunning fighting game". He complimented the play control, numerous secrets, and most especially the cute, humorous animation, concluding that "At its heart it's still just another 2D fighter, but its light-hearted feel gives it an edge over many of the others out there." He awarded it 3 out of 5 stars. The game received a positive review from Computer Game Review, which concluded, "Finally, a quality fight game worth owning." Entertainment Weekly gave Battle Beast a B. PC Gamer rated Battle Beast a score of 69% stating that "It's a decent fighting game, but one with significant flaws. CNET called Battle Beast kind of a Kartoon Kombat primer for the beginning gamer. Battle Beast shipped more than 50,000 units.
