Fusing RPG goodness with monster collecting, there’s immediately much to love about Cassette Beasts. Throw in the fact it is now on Xbox, Game Pass, PC and Switch and the interest levels rise higher.

Bytten Studio and the team at Raw Fury have today released Cassette Beasts to the console world. Having previously launched on PC, it now transforms to Xbox and Nintendo Switch worlds, playable through Game Pass if you wish.

Transforming monsters?

We’re well versed with monster collecting and we love a bit of Transformer action, but Cassette Beasts promises to run all-new ideas. At its core, it will task you with discover more than 100 of the most awesome of monsters, collecting them up as you go. From there, you get to transform them, working turn-based battling on the go.

Cassette Beasts on Xbox should be a decent little journey of exploration and friendship, as the devs put a unique spin on collect ’em ups. With RPG elements at the fore, you’ll find yourself on the island of New Wirral, utilising the power of cassette tapes to transform into the strangest of creatures.

Utilising abilities and going into battle will be seen as the gist of things, making the most of elements types and stats. There’s even a rather nifty Cassette Beasts Fusion System to enjoy too.
