Battlemorph is a 1995 shooter video game developed by Attention to Detail and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar CD. It is the sequel to Cybermorph (1993), a pack-in game for the Atari Jaguar. Taking place 30 years after the events of the original game, the player pilots the morphing infiltration fighter War Griffon in an extermination mission against the Pernitia empire, who plans to launch a full-scale invasion to eradicate humanity and take over the galaxy after being pushed back into their home planet. The player is tasked with various objectives, while fighting against enemies and bosses, across eight galaxy clusters in order to liberate them from control of the empire. Battlemorph was pitched by Attention to Detail to Atari after the launch of Cybermorph, being announced in 1994 as one of the first upcoming titles for the Jaguar CD add-on. The team wanted to make a sequel and implement ideas that they were not able to include, while also using techniques learned late during development of the first game to improve the experience. The game received generally favorable reception from critics; praise was given to the sountrack, ability to traverse across any terrain, and overall improvements made over Cybermorph, though some felt mixed regarding its presentation, visuals, and controls. Retrospective commentary has been equally favorable and is cited as one of the best games for the platform.

The Earth Defense Council decided not to risk another invasion, building interstellar battle cruisers to patrol colonies. There were initially no signs of irregularity, but cruisers near the Perseus star cluster began disappearing, while other fleets reported signs of Pernitian activity across eight galaxies before their disappearance. The Council deployed the Sutherland cruiser carrying the morphing infiltration fighter War Griffon, a variant of the TransmoGriffon (T-Griffon), into the Perseus cluster but runs out of plasma energy after using its warp drive systems. The main objective of the game is to collect plasma energy held off by Pernitian generals on each galaxy and reach the Pernish cluster to exterminate the empire, before they lauch a full-scale invasion to
