" from real places on Earth, or their version of Earth, at least", Baylis tells me.
Baylis also says it's a bit of a reference to UK culture and Arthurian legend, while also being a joke suggestion that actually turned out to be neat idea. Bytten Studio's two-man team are both originally from the Wirral in the UK, hence the name of the game's world. This immediately raises intriguing questions and storylines, which makes a refreshing change from the usual "I wanna be the best trainer!" schtick we're all so used to with these sorts of games. Sure, it's a monster-collecting game, but what makes it so different from your Pokémons and Temtems? Well, it's an isekai (Japanese portal fantasy) for starters, but it's not just you who's been thrust into this strange new land it's everyone you meet, and part of the game's overarching story is discovering why this has happened.
One of the first things we chatted about as I explored the game's opening area – a delightful little seaside town – was its premise. It was a genuine delight, especially as I was joined by Cassette Beasts' artist, writer and designer Jay Baylis, who not only walked me through many of the game's sights but also talked me through it all as I went about my business. I played roughly 25 minutes of an early build of Cassette Beasts, where I got to briefly explore the opening area of New Wirral, get into a couple of scraps and do some exploring before things ended on a spooky cliffhanger. These are just a few monsters players will find fruitful in both the early hours and late game of Cassette Beasts. From traversing the tall grass to forests and even cave systems, payers will hunt for the best companions, and in the early game, it may be hard to choose which creature to invest in (hoping it will pay off in the end with evolutions). Cassette Beasts is a new kid on the block that many will find familiar as soon as they start.Īs with any such game, building a powerful team to take on increasingly ferocious enemies is paramount.
In this genre, a new game tries to sink its teeth into the market with a monster-catching game with a melodic twist to make it stand out from the competition. Juggernauts such as Pokemon (and to a lesser extent Digimon) have prevailed over other competitors for years with addictive turn-based gameplay, exploration, and the common goals to evolve creatures and collect all that the world has to offer. Creature catching has been around for years in games.
