Taking inspiration and expanding on simillar monster catching games like Pokémon, Cassette Beasts is an open world RPG by Bytten Studios where you wake up stranded on a mysterious island that is teeming with monsters. After being rescued by Kayleigh, an Irish Ranger who was on patrol in the area, you realize that many of the inhibitants of this island have been trapped, as well as seeming to come from scattered time periods. Equipped with a Walkerman that has the power to record monster's essence and transform into them, you are then able to explore the island, uncover its many secrets, and try to find a way back home.

Cassette Beasts have a wide variety of interesting mechanics all working at play to make it stand out from other mon-training experiences. Type advantages and weaknesses dont just do more damage, for example; they can add buffs, debuffs, or even transform the defending type entirely to a new one. While every monster is single typed, you can fuse with any other monster in the game to become double typed, unleash more powerful attacks, and even combine your stats together to turn the tides of battle. There is also the interesting take on "rare" or "shiny" monsters, where they not only have chances of learning stronger moves, they may also be a different type than usual, which can change their movepools and open up new strategies.

I've only had the game for a little over a week and I got super hooked into it. If you like pokemon esque games but need a breath of fresh air, I cant reccomend this game enough. It has near infinite possibilities with team comp and strategies, a very strong soundtrack, a lovable cast and memorable boss battles. The Devss have also recently announced they were working on adding online multiplayer, with a DLC expansion in the future as well, so more monsters and locations will be added in soon!

Patchnotes for 1.3-errr 1.5 are here! The first DLC drops tomorrow, but they added a much needed bulk sticker recycling system as well as sticker filtering to help fight the memory problems. In addition, new moves have been added to the game, Jellyton got major buffs (stats rearranged to make him more of a physical bruiser akin to Mascotorn, as well as having 8 slots like he should have had from the start), Diveberg and Coaldron got 8 move slots at last, and many more bug fixes

Finished the DLC yesterday! Was a little short but sweet, introduced a bunch of cool mons and moves as well as a cute new character in Gwen. So far the discord is scrambling to take these new moves into account of the meta because some changed a lot of theorycrafting already.

And it seems the game is getting more popular, too! Lockstin made a video going over every CB in the game (though he does get some stuff off the mark, its still mostly accurate)

ahh, yes, welcome! Glad to see other people are excited as I am. Also, forgot to mention, but An AMA was held today on Reddit with the devs! Im unsure if they are still answering, but you can still find interesting responses from them!

Also the main discord has been trying to sort out how to set up a PVP scene, so I'm keeping an eye on that hile grinding for more bootlegs and stickers.

Today is the official 1st year anniversary of Cassette Beasts! To celebrate, the crew did an acoustic version of Face Down, as well as gifting everyone a bootleg Pombomb using the mailcode ANNIVERSARY

Additionally, I've been working on a team for PVP, ended up creating a team focused on using the Conductive element and Sharp edges. First turn turn the enemies into glitter, then follow up with a metal Pre-emptive strike to turn them metal, and then proceed to strike with a barrage of Lightning attacks until they keel over.
