Cassette Beasts

Turn-based creature fusion with retro vibes.

Cassette Beasts is a charming monster-collecting RPG by indie dev Bytten Studio (published by Raw Fury). Launched in April 2023, it flips the classic capturing mechanic—your character records creatures onto cassette tapes and transforms into them in combat. It’s a nostalgic, clever twist on a familiar formula.

What Makes It Stand Out

• The fusion system: combine any two monsters into unique hybrids, each with custom looks and abilities.
• Open-world exploration: roam New Wirral—solve puzzles, discover hidden creatures, and chat with quirky NPCs.
• Retro-modern charm: pixel-art visuals meet modern design sensibilities and a killer synth-rock soundtrack.
• Depth and polish: with 120 monsters and over 14,000 fusion combinations, the game is both expansive and well-balanced.
