Cassette Beasts is a love letter to every 30-year-old who grew up playing Pokémon and became dissapointed with each subsequent entry, seeing how the franchise we once loved grew stagnant. This game dares to advance the genre formula, proposing systems that are actually engaging; creatures are fun to collect, fusions are interesting, since they temporarily combine both monsters into a more powerful form for that current battle, adding-up their stats, movesets and elemental types. Bosses are interestingly challenging, and the open world is fun enough to navigate.
It is a shame though that the story is so damn cringe and the characters are so bland, otherwise this game would be perfect in what it tries to do.
