About Cassette Beasts

About this game

Adventure. Battle. Transform.

Collect awesome monsters to use during turn-based battles in this open-world RPG. Combine any two monster forms using Cassette Beasts’ Fusion System to create unique and powerful new ones!

Welcome to New Wirral, a remote island inhabited by strange creatures you’ve only dreamed of, nightmares you hopefully haven’t, and a cast of brave folks who use cassette tapes to transform for battle. To find a way home you’ll need to explore every inch of the island, and record monsters to your trusty cassette tapes to gain their abilities!

Transform into monsters...using retro cassette tapes?!

Faced with the constant threat of monster attacks, the residents of Harbourtown, New Wirral choose to fight fire with fire. Record a monster to tape, then play it back to take on its form for battle!

Fuse monster forms!

Getting close to your companion has benefits–while transformed you can combine your strengths to gain the upper hand in battle! Any two monster forms can be fused to produce unique, fully-animated new fusion forms.

Explore a rich open world

Certain monster abilities can be used in human form. You’ll need these to help you get around, solve puzzles, and locate dungeons. Glide, fly, swim, climb, dash, or turn magnetic!

Travel alongside a diverse cast of human companions

Never fight alone! Form bonds, spend time together, and help your selected partner complete personal goals to become a better team. The strength of your relationship determines how well you’re able to fuse!

Master a deep battle system

Take advantage of elemental chemistry to apply extra buffs or debuffs alongside your attack, or even alter your opponent’s elemental type!

Play couch-co op with Friends

Team up in local multiplayer with a friend to explore an open world, transform and battle together! Facing the unknown as a duo will surely develop your relationship!

A truly great game. I have already put over 20 hours into this, have caught every beast and have enjoyed every minute. It's been a long time since I have played a game and looked at the clock, sad that the hours are getting late and I have to put it away until tomorrow after work and other life commitments. This is the best pokemon-like game I've ever played. The designers clearly loved old-school pokemon and thought, "How can we make this experience better?" and they certainly did.

Played a couple of hours so far. Fun and cute game. Coop is kinda doable in steam remote play together, but its not really coop since 2nd user can control everything on their end. You just take turns during combat.
