OverviewShape Shifter is a fantasy side-scrolling action game from ICOM Simulations that is superficially similar to The Legendary Axe.
The protagonist, the barbarian Lykos, travels the land to find the five rings of legend, once held by powerful forces of good, and uses the shapeshifter forms they provide him to fight the forces of the Dark Ones. The game is somewhat open-ended with multiple areas and a hub town with NPCs the player can visit and buy items from, similar to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Enemies drop currency which is needed for buying new weapons, healing or using the game's hint system.Shape Shifter was released exclusively for the TurboGrafx-CD in Japan and the US. It was published in Japan by Victor Entertainment and in the US by Turbo Technologies.
