The 'monster collecting RPG' Cassette Beasts is coming to Steam on April 26.
Cassette Beasts was inspired by monster-focused RPGs the developers played when they were kids, the most obvious of which is probably Pokemon. But rather than capturing and"training" monsters to fight on their behalf , players in Cassette Beasts transform into monsters themselves by using recordings of the island's creatures, made with old-fashioned tape recorders.
Players can combine with their partners—either a member of the NPC cast or another human in two-player local co-op—to create powerful"Fusion form" monsters. But the strength of the fusion depends on the strength of the bond between you and your partner,"so it's important to nurture your friendships," Bytten Studio's Jay Baylis says in the video.
Romance is an option too, although there's no gameplay benefit to it—it's just"cute," according to the developers. But not everyone on the island is friendly: Some of the people you run into will help you out, but others will be hostile:"After all, you're not the only one with a cassette player around here," Baylis says.
Monster-collecting games like Pokemon are the obvious influence here, but Cassette Beasts also takes inspiration from"British culture, 1980s New Wave fashion aesthetics, and even Arthurian legends," which is quite a combination. And while it looks very retro, it's set in a 3D world with platforming and physics-based movement:"You can glide over big gaps and even place boxes to create your own shortcuts," Baylis says.
The video starts with narrated gameplay from fairly early in Cassette Beasts, and then shifts to a venture into a derelict shopping mall, an area of the game that hasn't previously been revealed. The segment showcases battles, exploration, puzzles, and the way players will interact with the game's 3D environments, and to my eye it looks quite good—there's a lot going on.
