Reviews:

CD-ROM Today, December 1995

"It's obvious from the start that this game is inspired by Saturday morning cartoons, and the fluid animations that introduce each game really set it apart. The premise is as goofy as the visuals: The evil Toadman is sending his hoards of rampaging toads loose on the city, and the General has created Battle Beasts for home protection."

"Appearing at first like warm, fuzzy little critters, the beasts morph into killer warriors to do combat with other renegade creatures, as well as the toads."

Computer Gaming World, November 1995

"There are six different arenas for beast-to-beast combat including an alley, a junk yard and a basement, to name a few. Rather than just popping into each arena, there's a bit of arcade action as you race your opponent through the murky brown waterslide of the city's sewer system. Whee!"

"Beat your opponent into the arena and you'll get a few seconds to whack toads, grab power-ups and look around for secret doors."

"Battle Beast offers several interesting additions to the standard fighting-game fare, and the game's Loony Tunes nature is a welcome breath of humor in an otherwise dark genre."
