Beast Rizer Soul

Beast Rizer Soul ( ビーストライザーソウル ) is an action-adventure video game developed by Burst Arts Inc. and produced by Namco.

Plot
Over 50 years ago, an organization known as the Shadow Dragon Foundation conducted an experiment known as "Project Soul" while trying to unlock the secrets of the Sacred Orbs at the request of the dragons. The experiment culminated in a beastman hybrid, Soul, with the ability to change forms in ways not thought possible.

50 years later, one peaceful day, Soul is spending time with Thunder, whose parents suggested that the two did some bonding together. During this, Soul wonders why he was created by the defunct Shadow Dragon Foundation and leaves Thunder to find answers. After failed attempts at finding his origins, he is approached by an alien called Priest Cherub, the leader of an alien race called the Deus Ex. He asks Soul for help in gathering the Sacred Orbs (now scattered thanks to Rosetta's actions), which are the only hope for his dying alien race, and in exchange he uses the resources of his people to turn Soul into a real Hybrid.

Soul noticed the skies turning red, and from it came the aliens known as the Deus Ex, and they were not as benevolent as he expected them to be. Soul then turns down the offer and then goes off to help his new friends. With his attempt to control Soul failed, Priest Cherub then unveils a backup plan...

Main Characters

 * Soul Squareshell: The protagonist of the game's Soul Mode. He is capable of switching forms at any point of time. Throughout his mode, he helps anyone in need and combats the Deus Ex aliens.
 * Mind Blotling: The protagonist of the game's Mind Mode. Mind is a Darkling hybrid created by the Deus Ex, with the same shape-shifting abilities as Soul. He was awakened by Priest Cherub when his mind control failed to real Soul. In his mode, Mind attacks the Neo Islands and tries to kill the heroes
 * Subaru Watagi: He plans on creating another chimera plant greenhouse, but needs to get rid of the Deus Ex to do so. He tracks Soul and follows him through means of a chimera carrying a monitor.
 * Commander Skyler: The highest-ranking officer of the G.E.N.U.S. He is one of the few who knows the secrets of Soul's past and loathes him for reasons unknown, at least until a certain level and is one of the bosses at the climax of Soul Mode.
 * Theo Stormwald: Although he is a rival to Soul, he can ally with him on certain levels. Eventually he learns about his other friends being injured due to Mind's actions and became one of the bosses at the near end of Mind Mode.
 * Cherub's Cable: An extension of Priest Cherub's being and a "character" in the story who mainly just watches Mind and what happens throughout the game.
 * Priest Cherub: The leader of the Deus Ex and the game's main antagonist. The last remaining members of his kind were searching for another planet to repopulate, and found Earth. While there, he sees Soul and requests that he searches for the Sacred Orbs to save his people. When Soul turned down his offer, he then turns to Mind to complete the task for him. Eventually, he reveals that he wants the Sacred Orbs to build the tower of Tartarus, which appears every 50 years. Priest Cherub reveals that this was how he came to Earth back then and met the Shadow Dragon Foundation. He lent his blood to help create Soul himself. He then paralyzed and moved to surrender Soul, Subaru, and the others to his offspring as meals; but Soul breaks free and regains his mobility, and chases him throughout his tower. As he transformed into Salvation Cherub, Soul transformed into Super Dragon Soul (with the help of one of the elemen, Daisy) and successfully killed him and destroyed Tartarus.
