It’s sometimes a little jarring when you transition from battle themes to the overworld songs, but mostly it sounds great. The music that accompanies your journey is proper songs with lyrics and everything, obviously with that retro vibe. I must talk about the sound design in Cassette Beasts.

Still, it acts as a neat get out of jail free card when you do use it. There was only one opportunity to use it in the demo, so there’s plenty of time for it to grow on me, but I think I’ve been disappointed since I learned that most fusion designs will be procedurally generated rather than bespoke designs. Something that surprised me, however, was how little I cared about the fusing mechanic in battle. Traffikrab was an instant hit as soon as it was revealed, and while I’m pretty sure I’d seen all of the critters in the demo before – on Twitter or in blog updates and the like – they were all pretty cool. The creatures are equally carefully designed.

That’s where I lived when I first heard about the game! Add into the mix that it’s a Pokemon-like with retro tendencies – Pokemon is my favourite game series and, while I prefer vinyl to cassette tapes, I can be a bit of a retro head myself – and you’ve got a game essentially created for me, right? If that’s not weird enough, the developers are based in Brighton, in the south of England. I grew up on The Wirral, a peninsula in the north west of England. I don’t wander around recording animals on cassettes or anything weird, but the game’s region is called New Wirral. I was also struck by how many similarities the game had to my own life. Music plays a big role in the idea, as you record monsters onto cassettes rather than catch them with Poke Balls, with the additional twist that they can fuse together in battle to become more powerful forms in an almost Yu-Gi-Oh fashion. It was a great concept, a pixel art Pokemon-like with a retro aesthetic. I’ve been following the development of Cassette Beasts for a little over two years now, since my interest was first piqued by screenshots the developer posted on Twitter.
