On April 26, Raw Fury and Bytten Studio released “Cassette Beasts,” the retro monster-catching open world RPG on Steam.
The game starts off with the player teleporting to an alternate dimension and washing up on the shores of Harbourtown. There, they meet Kaleigh, a friendly local who helps the player recover at her home. After the player takes their in-game nap, she gives them a fresh change of clothes, and informs them about the origins of Harbourtown and the monsters that realm outside of it. Once the player recovers, Kaleigh takes the player outside to teach them how to battle, transform into, and capture monsters using magical cassette tapes.
“Cassette Beasts” is a fantastic game, and its main strengths are its vibrant artwork, strong designs and the exciting battle system.
The battle system is intriguing. To engage in combat, players use magical cassette tapes to transform into monsters. During battle, they can temporarily fuse into one large monster, merging the movesets and stats of the monsters they fused. There are over thousands of fusion possibilities, all with their own specific sprites (character images) and capabilities. The stronger your bond is with the characters you fight alongside with, the more powerful your fusion will be. The battle system does a great job at encouraging character interaction whilst putting a twist on the Cassette Beasts genre.
This game features amazing artwork and creative designs. The artwork is filled with bright pastels that, along with being eye-catching, are pleasing to look at. The game makes use of this color palette the most in its backgrounds, especially in the grassy outskirts of Harbourtown. Each monster’s design varies in shape, color and size, displaying their individually distinct and memorable personalities. Whether you want to catch a monster as sweet and mischievous as the pastel candy devil Candevil, or one as fierce and mysterious as the giant masked snake Masquerattle, there is a wide variety of monsters to make your companion. The vast amount of distinctive designs are just one of the game’s many amazing qualities.
Cassette Beasts is a great game overall. With a mixture of creative designs and a fun battle system, the game proves itself to be a unique spin on the monster-catching genre.
Cassette Beasts is available on Steam for Windows 10 OS.
