Kalisto Entertainment's Nightmare Creatures originally came out for the PlayStation around Halloween of '97. The game received high marks for atmosphere and design, but its overall score was brought down by control issues, a weak combo system, and occasional perspective problems. Now, a year later, Nightmare Creatures has come to the Nintendo 64, and while it's an almost identical game.
Nightmare Creatures sees 19th century London threatened by an onrush of gruesome beasts brought forth by the evil Adam Crowley (sort of a mix of the 1920s "wickedest man in the world" Aleister Crowley and The Muppet Show's Animal) and his sinister cult, the Brotherhood of Hecate. It's your job to wipe out these most unholiest of unholies and their master - either as the young American swordswoman Nadia or Ignatius, the ass-kicking monk.
