Cassette Beasts is the best monster collecting game I've ever played, with sensational combat and a wonderful world to explore.
Cassette Beasts is simply one of the best Pokémon-like games I’ve come across, and I’m looking forward to earning a 100% completion. With a massive end-game and modder support built in at release though, I feel like I’m going to get very sidetracked on the way there.

I found this game while bored scrolling through the catalog of x-box's game pass, and after giving it a go, i was immediately hooked. Now, i have 30+ hours. This game is simply perfection, the story, the art style, the writing, it all just fits into place to create one of the best games i have ever played. I was never big into Pokémon (even though i have played some of the games) but somehow this game caught me hook, line and sinker. This game is simply unbelievable. I mean it when i say go support the developers and give this game a play.

Cassette Beasts is an addictive and fun videogame that pleasantly engages and excites. It offers a fascinating story and context, as well-implemented sensitive themes. A must have especially for the play structure.
Combat isn't the only fun thing the game has to offer. If you're in the mood for collecting and battling strange creatures, give the game a chance, it will serve you pleasant entertainment with beautiful visuals. [Issue#327]
The best Pokémon clone by a significant margin and arguably a more enjoyable experience than the more recent 3D games, with some clever new ideas and fantastic visuals.
Cassette Beasts feels very genuine. Whilst you can tell where the inspiration for certain choices has come from, the soundtrack, characters and story are all entertaining and heartfelt in a way that separates it from being just another Pokémon clone. Whilst the retro 80s design feels like a comforting warm blanket, the game isn’t afraid of inflicting a tonal shift into more Undertale-like otherworldly horror. You'd be forgiven for getting distracted in the gameplay loop of adventuring and collecting cute beasts, but underneath is a compelling and much more sinister story waiting to come out.
I had a great time with Cassette Beasts, but it was undeniably frustrating in places. It iterates on the Pokemon formula in nearly every possible way, and exploring the world via companion quests rather than just doing a big circle on your Gym challenge creates a wonderful sense of adventure. Cassette Beasts tries a lot of new things and most of them are successful. The story is compelling, the characters are engaging, and the battle system is one of the best I’ve ever used. It doesn’t pull everything off, but I’d much rather play a game that takes risks, rather than one that rehashes the same old formula time and time again.
Cassette Beasts is an RPG game that has innovated and paved the way for a whole new genre; it's as if they've mixed Final Fantasy, Pokémon, and Zelda together. If you want to experience an open world in which you can dodge attacks and fly around the city as if you were in a Zelda game while having a battle mechanic and writing style akin to Final Fantasy, alongside a monster system with unique monster types such as plastic and glass, where each type can react to one another based on chemistry, then this game is for you.
Every RPG fan or player newer to the genre will enjoy this game and sink hours into the gameplay, especially with the lore surrounding it.

Boring rpg where despite being several levels higher than enemies still lose all my animals' health. Surprise ambushes all the time without level indications. Christ, wtf?
