After around 300 hours in I feel it's finally time to leave a review for this amazing game with so much heart and depth. Everyone has what they look for in games, but for me this one ticked (is still ticking) all of the usual boxes - engaging story and characters, unique setting, strategy and versatility, and (least important but still somewhat considered) cool visuals. Where the game really shines however, is its moral compass and guiding principles - addressing head-on the inescapable anthropocentrism of monster taming and subjugation in a way that I haven't seen any other game in its genre achieve or even attempt to do. Relationships are a core component of the game's mechanics - with beasties developing various types of friendships with each other and learning new moves as a result, and with the lead protagonist developing relationships with other coaches and accumulating and spending social battery as a resource (genius!). The game is also unapologetic in its celebration of ethnic diversity and LGBTQ+ representation, and this diversity is a huge strength reflected in the Discord/PvP community as well. If you've made it this far why not keep going? Our daugther arrived in December and with everything going on I've been thinking a lot about what sort of world we're bringing a child into. This game has both helped me unwind and has reassured me that there are others out there who see and care about the same things. It might just be ok if we stick together and remember what makes life worth living. Please keep up the good work team and I can't wait to see what you release next!
One of the best games I've ever had the pleasure of playing, full stop. It made me remember what it felt like when I opened my DS and booted up Pokemon Pearl for the first time. Don't be fooled by it being Early Access: the main campaign is completed and you can easily get around 40-50 hours of story content if you like to explore and be thorough. The only real markers of the game being in EA are the unfinished Beastie art and animations. The game has around 100 Beasties, and around half of them are fully animated in gorgeous 2D traditional animation. The rest of them are in varying states of completion, but I want to point out that A) the placeholder art does the job well enough and B) the team complete new batches of art and animation every few months. This studio has a great track record for their games, and I sincerely believe you shouldn't let the Early Access tag dissuade you if you tried the demo and liked what you played. The Beastie vs Beastie gameplay is fun, inspired and deceptively complex; the more you play, the deeper you realize the systems go. It's not a particularly hard game, but depending on the choices you make in the campaign later fights can become fairly challenging. Additionally, the game's PVP has a very low bar of entry and is carefully rebalanced every few patches. The PVP community for the game is incredibly passionate and eager to invite new Coaches into the scene. I almost exclusively have good things to say about Beastieball honestly. The Beastie roster is one of the most robust in any creature collector I've played - there may not be 500+ like in Palworld, but there's a real variety of creatures on display and every single Beastie is crafted with such loving attention to detail. Lena Raine composed the OST, which should tell you all you need to know about how good it is. The game's music elevates the experience from great to exceptional. The story and characters are charming, funny and memorable, and there's some real heart in the way that certain real world issues are tackled. The game also just feels really smooth to play with QoL that feels like it truly respects you as a player and wants you to have as great of a time as possible. If you're on the fence, I hope this review helps you make your decison. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon this game. It's brought me so much joy and reminded me that games are primarily meant to inspire and delight. My life will forever be better off for having played this game.
To be honest, what made me buy this game were the cute visuals and beasties' designs. They all looked so interesting, but after I started playing, I noticed this game is way more than what I thought it was. This is a thing of its own! It's out of its league! And better than any other beast-collector-pvpve game i've ever played. I'm not saying there aren't other good games out there, but this one brings a well-needed refreshment to the genre. I deeply care about this game and my beasties and I'll definetly keep playing this until its development is done! Alright, enough chit-chat, lets go to the prons and cons: Pros: [*] Innovative and interesting gameplay mechanics, this game is way more technical and requires more planning than its counterparts, but can still be simple and easy to understand. This is all I ever wanted from double battles in Pokemon. [*] No RNG! It's all math and numbers, nerds! ( Me, I am the nerd ) [*] The game helps you get there! What I mean by this is that there is very little time wasting getting teams together, items, healing, moving, practicing, testing, switching things around, etc. Everything is practical and straight forward. Really, for someone that has been playing these kind of games for my entire life, I know, and i think the devs know too. [*] Interesting and relatable characters. Even though you can tell some of their personalities out of the go, most characters have some cool backstories and with time you get to care for them. There were very little cutscenes and story points that had little meaning or were fillers imo. [*] Moderately challenging! You can "bruteforce" it, but you'd be missing out on some of the best part of the game if you do. [*] Good lenght. Took me around 20 hours to beat, exploring all of the map, but not 100% the game [*] Fair price/cost-benefit! I know people might complain for being an early access game, but this is a game more ready than most released games [*] Amazing soundtrack! Lena rocks! [*] There is so much to say about this! I'll definetely think about more stuff later. Cons [*] Early access and unfinished content, obviously. If you don't want to risk having to redo stuff or have stuff changed during your playtime, you'd better wait for the full release. [*] Minor balancing, I played some online, but I guess I still am not qualified enough to talk about this. But during the story mode I never felt like this was an issue at all. [*] The world feels a little empty and simple. I talk exclusively about visuals. Idk the plans for adding more stuff or even if it is necessary, but when I think about it, everything feels a little bland [*] Can't think about anything else Anyway, if you got here, thanks for reading! I hope I helped you decide if you wanna give this game a try, I hope you do! Thanks devs for this amazing game!
Among the sea of Creature Collectors that have popped up over the past decade or so since the steady decline of quality in Pokemon, none quite stand out like Beastieball. A fresh new take on the genre, Beastieball is a Creature Collecting & Turn Based RPG, instead of throwing animals at eachother like a cretin, you battle on the court! How civilized! You don't even need to like sports or know anything about volleyball (like I did going in) to enjoy/understand the game. The creature designs in this game are genuinely top notch, they feel so unique without entering the territory of uncanny valley or ripoff. There's around 100 to collect in this game - and if that sounds like a small amount, don't worry because it doesn't feel like that at all. The beasties are spread around very evenly among the different regions of the game, never once did I feel exhausted seeing the same creature over and over. Another little tidbit that helped keep the small amount of beasties fresh was that they spawn in different colors - and shinies. There's a predetermined range of colors your beastie can spawn in, each one is slightly different which adds such a fun twist! Some beasties also evolve by just leveling up, but only a handful. A good amount require special tasks to get them to the next stronger stage. Catching them works similarly, with each beastie having it's own set of circumstances for you to fulfill before you can recruit them to your team. The battle system is also innovative and new while sticking to familiar routes - instead of typing there are only 3 stats. All beasties have these stats in both offense and defense. Gyms are scattered around the map allowing you to specifically train these stats even higher if you want a certain build on your beastie. You get five beasties in your party, three moves each (An excellent QoL is that you can switch between moves out of battle whenever you want for free). Every battle is a 2v2, the moves reflect this, punishing the player for trying to solo with just one beastie. Despite being early access, the game is basically complete with the main campaign practically done and a plethora of beasties for you to collect. There are so many fun NPCs for you to meet and even connect with! (I LOVE YOU RIVEN), definitely worth the pricetag. You'll mostly feel the early access vibes once you venture out - with only 20 or so beasties fully animated and complete. Placeholder sprites & sketches fill the incomplete spots but don't make the game unplayable at all. There is so much content in this game, easily 20+ hours alone if you just try to breeze through the main campaign. Please please please pick up Beastieball now, you won't regret it. My only complaint is that I want more, but alas I can't rush a masterpiece.
This game is basically what creature collectors should strive to be IMO. It's fun mechanically, the systems (generally) don't feel like they're screwing over players, and it's just kinda funny that the combat is just *volleyball*. My only complaint about the game is that there are still beasties that haven't got finished animations, but that's more of an issue with the game being in early access rather than the game developer's fault. And the devs seem to care about balance based off of their announced changes. Also, the storyline and characters are adorable. Like, the game WANTS you to like the other coaches, there's funky dialog everywhere in the game, and there was actual thought into how a large amount of volleyball-playing creatures actually fit into an environment (which I actually found surprising as that's something that I thought was just "oh, it's a game mechanic!" explanation). Overall, this game is fun. It's really fun, and the only thing stopping me from progressing any further is the animations, which they're already working on.
