\nHave you ever had a song that didn’t click for you until you heard a remix? For me it’s the Glitch Mob remix of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. I like the original well enough, but something about that version just hits right. Feel free to blast my terrible taste in music in the comments! It’s not just the slightly hammy music analogy that makes me think about Cassette Beasts as a remix. Its similarities to Pok\u00e9mon are far too blatant to just slot it into a broad monster battler genre, yet there’s still enough that’s new and fresh and different to make it more than a mere cover or tribute. And while I like Pok\u00e9mon, I love Cassette Beasts.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe game starts with you deposited unceremoniously on New Wirral, a mysterious Arthurian isle unshackled from both time and any particular version of our reality. New Wirral’s human inhabitants arrived from different times and versions of Earth, with the first reaching its shores a little over a century before the game’s present. They swiftly discovered that they were not the only living creatures on the island, with dozens of different monsters roaming its environs. Some time before your arrival, it was discovered that these monsters could be recorded onto regular old cassette tapes which would allow the bearer to transform into them. Pretty good setup for some monster battling, eh?\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Pok\u00e9mon influences are displayed front and centre. The game’s charming visuals are the most obvious example, with sprites that look like they were ripped from Red & Blue and given a fresh lick of 2023 paint. Start a battle and you’ll see that the core game elements are present and correct. You have a team of up to six monsters that can level up and evolve into different forms. Battles are turn based with each turn allowing you to use one of a monster’s moves or an item. There are different elemental types with varying strengths and weaknesses when pit against each other. Heck, you even have to find and battle a number of gym lead…sorry, ranger captains, and collect their stamps of approval on a little card.\n<\/p>\n
