So, I'm a bit conflicted about this game. I do recommend a lot of it, but I found certain core aspects of it very frustrating. I'll start with what I liked followed by what I disliked, and you can decide from there if this is helpful. I liked the overall concept of Cassette Beasts. A little retro, a little Pokemon, a little early Nintendo style and Playstation graphics. The world was interesting, the plot kept me motivated, and I felt that it was pretty open-ended. I also loved how the music changed when you use a core mechanic in the game called Fusion. Shelby Harvey is an amazing vocalist, and the soundtrack was one of my favorite components of the game. I enjoyed the core story all the way through to the end. I disliked... well, just about everything else in the game. The type interactions are so damn confusing. This could be because I'm only well versed up to about Gen 3 of Pokemon, so perhaps this kind of type variety is normal for younger gamers, but I felt like I needed a PhD to understand how all the different types interacted. As best I could figure out, Astral basically beats everything but Plastic, Air has strong attacks but is weak against almost everything, and you should use Glass, Glitter, Fire, and Plant types if you want to lose to literally anything in the game. While I enjoyed the open world aspect, I was often frustrated by the gatekeeping abilities that prevent you from going too far in certain areas. Sort of like the HM mechanics of Pokemon, I guess, but delivered in the most awkward way possible. It might help more if you had some kind of level warning for each zone, because you can easily wander from a level 5-10 area into a level 25-30 area with literally no warning and no requisite ability. So this wasn't done that well. I also disliked the arbitrary nature of several encounters in the game. Typically, in a Pokemon game, you hear about a gym leader's abilities at least a few times leading up to them because they are challenges you are meant to prepare for. In this game, you usually don't know what you're encountering in a ranger captain or Archangel fight until you're literally in the fight getting owned by their gimmick. Unless you're lucky or overleveled, this means you usually have to eat a loss and lose some resources or Alt-F4 before the fight is over so you can reload your last save. Finally, we come to my biggest gripe about the game: The post game and DLC content. This may be an ironic complaint, considering placement, but I found the challenges in the post game way, way, way, way, way too hard. There's no warning behind it, you're just trying to help an NPC with a seemingly easy quest where suddenly bosses are taking away 1/2 your HP with each attack. And there's a gauntlet mode that apparently consists of 150 possible encounters, with a boss at the end that is built around giving you the middle finger. I didn't even attempt that one. The DLC is also a huge waste of time. There's maybe an hour of content, a handful of new beasts, and four boss fights that are all designed to annoy you instead of present a decent challenge. And to get to those fights, you have to negotiate some of the worst dungeon-building physics I have ever seen in a game, to the point where I would fall into a pit and warp into the middle of rotating objects in the same room, then fall repeatedly until I got lucky and could glide to safety. Lastly, the dev team can't be bothered to support their own game anymore. Other than an occasional "promotional" beast you can unlock with the mailbox in town with a temporary code, there's literally nothing else being done with this game, either in new content, balances, or bug fixes. The promotional beasts all suck, anyway, so I don't know why they bother making them temporarily available. I know I spent a lot more time talking about the negatives than the positives, but I just wanted to make it clear what I disliked about the game so others can consider if that's a dealbreaker. If those things don't sound so bad, feel free to pick this up, as there was a lot to enjoy in this game. But if any of those things annoy you as deeply as they did me, consider a different imitation Pokemon game to scratch your itch. I'm opening up this review for comments, so feel free to say if you agree/disagree with my review. I may not reply, and I definitely won't if it's just something like, "You suck at games", but who knows? Maybe I can be swayed by a player of this game with more skill than me.

I love it. Great charm, art, music, and gameplay. It's not really co-op online like you might want; I bought it for my brother and I thinking we could play through it together and *technically* you can, but it's more of a "play it alongside one another in online co-op." You can do the raids together which is fun, but since every battle is a double battle, I was hoping to play through the whole game with him as my duo. Which is true, you CAN do that- but only local co-op only. The second player controls your "partner" in the story. I wish you could do that online as well instead of local only. But, Steam Share Play does allow that which is nice. But I do wish it was more clear on the store page before I bought 2 copies.

Honestly, I don’t usually play turn-based games. They never really grabbed my attention, and the last one I played was Pokemon… about ten years ago. Since then, I just felt like that genre wasn’t for me anymore. But I decided to give this game a chance because the art style really caught my eye — and I have to say, this game is a hidden gem. The art direction is incredible. The characters, the monsters, the environments — everything looks great. But what really surprised me was the music: the way the game uses the cassette concept and turns it into the heart of the culture within its universe is just brilliant. Another thing I loved is that the game constantly gives you something new. There are always fresh abilities, tools, or challenges — even late in the game. Because of that, it never feels repetitive. The side quests are also great. They help you understand the supporting characters and their stories better. The more time you spend with them, the more you uncover about who they are and what they’ve been through. The story starts off light, but it really picks up as it goes, and the ending… honestly, it was fantastic for me. In short: I highly recommend this game — especially if you think you’ve lost interest in turn-based games like I did. This one might just surprise you, the same way it did for me.

If you think about getting the new Pokémon - just get this instead. Cassette Beasts is absolute cinema. The gameplay is fun, easy to learn and hard to master. The storytelling and world building are both creative and consistent - but the best part for sure are the music and characters. The music is absolutely fire. I've been listening to the soundtrack up and down ever since I started the game and I just don't get sick of it. The companions keep the game fresh and their stories often combine serious or relatable topics with a good sense of humour. If you think about getting this game, literally just do it. It's so good.

This is... Beautiful. Do you like Pokemon? Do you want to see a new permutation? Not the same, not a rehash, not a snake eating it's own tail, but a love letter, a competitor, a true rival? It has mechanical depth for those want tier lists, it has storylines with stakes both relatable and epic, it has characters that make you feel, a world you rent to keep exploring and understanding. God, the music and the music direction punch so far above their weight you'll feel a shiver run down your spine when you hear lyrics start. This is the kind of indie studio that makes gaming good.
