    While there is a lot of strategy there is also a lot of cheese that makes it slightly less enjoyable. Stalling strategies are incredibly powerful, but leaning on them means that fights are long and slow paced. In particular, the Elemental Walls can block even the most powerful attacks, and the AI doesn’t play around them. Despite some balancing issues, and the hundred elemental reactions you have to memorize, Cassette Beasts is a game you will want to try out, even if you’re not a Nintendo fan.

    Cassette Beasts might not be as immediate as a certain pocket-monster game on another platform, but its depths are more cavernous. If you’ve been aching for a beast-battler that treats you as an adult, well, what’s stopping you? Go collect ‘em all.

    Muy buen juego, con un inolvidable soundtrack y un gameplay al estilo Pokémon pero más inovador. Vale la pena jugarlo.

    This game is genuinely made with love and that feels so rare these days.

It avoids being as annoying and cookie cutter as a Pokemon game. Being fun and enjoyable took priority when this game was made and I honestly thought I wouldn't play it as long as I have. Characters are so unique and genuine that I actually feel interested in reading their dialogue. They didn't just want to make a Pokemon clone they set out to make something unique of their own and i think they succeed. While there are some flaws I often found myself having too much fun to care. I hope they keep making these games and improving upon them because there is clearly a lot of potential here.… Expand

    A fun game with a great atmosphere, very creative monsters and an interesting story, but the soundtrack leaves something to be desired.

The greedy developers are charging $20 for an off-brand Pokemon shovelware. It's already bad enough that Pokemon is literally shovelware, so this makes it a shovelware of a shovelware. That's all this stupid Game Pass has. I forgot I was even subscribed to this garbage subscription. I sure won't be renewing this low budget indie Game Pass trash, even if Starfield is right around the corner. While I don't expect high quality at $20, I expect better than this mobile game. The gameplay is boring and repetitive.

    For a second I thought this game had no multiplayer at all. I know I'm not the only one that struggles with trying to get to the multiplayer on games. I once had a neighbor asked me to help her kids put split screen for a Lego game. I didn't even know that Lego game had split screen. I had a friend who didn't even know TLOU had online multiplayer, because those pretentious hipster developers called it Factions. How hard is it to put "multiplayer" on the main freaking menu? I shouldn't have to go through a freaking mission for a stupid local multiplayer mode. The developers had a trailer 3 weeks ago for online. Where is it? It just proves how lazy they are. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Expand
