Cassette Beasts

nice

It's a fun game and has some decent replay value to it. I have 25 hours in it and I have already finished the game. Luckily it's not an expensive game and I recommend getting it, especially on sale.

it's kinda like pokemon but with cassette tapes and instead of summoning beasts, you turn yourself into them! plus you have a NPC (or friend if you play online) with your for duo battles and you can fuse together into a new beast based on the 2 beasts fused!! pretty fun so far

Honestly this is fun as HELL!!!! im not kidding this was and will be some of the most fun ive had, i like the ost it fits the spot like a glove. the battle is really really cool with like a BUNCHA different types which is just cool. and yeah i love the artstyle of the lil gremlins ya catch all n all 10/10

I'm still in the middle of playing it, but Cassette Beasts is pretty great so far and definitely gets an endorsement from me. I think the battle system is quite good and different enough to other monster collectors/JRPGs to be engaging. The monster designs themselves are mostly appealing in my opinion, and the soundtrack truly earns all the praise it regularly receives. It is made with Godot and works great on Linux out-of-the-box, which is a huge plus for me. I only have 2 minor gripes: 1) The menu navigation for both the pause screen and for battle is a bit clunky and slow. In battle in particular, some way to speed up or autobattle through chaff encounters would be a welcome addition. I also think that, if an attack defeats an monster (enemy or ally), the whole status effect popup thing should just be skipped. This alone would quicken battles by a fair amount. 2. I could not find a way to rebind controller input. The keyboard can be rebound (and I think this would be advisable, as some of the defaults are rather strange), but even with a controller plugged in from launch, I had to stick with the default controls (which are much more normal than the keyboard, at least). Am I just missing this feature somehow? These are, as I said, minor complaints. I'm enjoying Cassette Beasts quite a lot, and I very much intend to keep playing to the end. Strong recommend from me!

Good story, good music, good game.

battles are ALL so mechanics-specific. so it's heavily dependent on your build. and there are several that most NPCs use, that's just pure OP BS, tailored specifically to stall players. loved the game at first. hit the pure BS stall walls, decided to change my mind. not that i can't win. won several times. but each of those fights lasts like forever. not fun.
