VERDICT: My new favorite monster collector game. THE GOOD - Pokemon without all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grind, breeding or stupid mechanism like IV/EV - The game is super detailed, despite being 3d-esque, resembles gen 5 Pokemon but with its own twist - Gameplay loop feels freshed - Freedom of movement, many parts of the overworld are intentionally made to be skippable - So many customization for monsters, moves can be swapped on and off with the stickers system - Element system actually has some depth rather than just providing bonus damage - Monsters are actually cool design, based on humanity thoughts and concepts - The story are meaningful, not watered down crap like Pokemon - Many movement tech intentionally left in game for speedrunners. This is perfect - YOU CAN PLAY IN CO-OP or explore the world with up to 8 players (actually insane) THE BAD - Not really a bad thing, but in some cases battles can feel too easy. THE UGLY - The game is so good that I couldn't think of one. Playtime & Performance - Time to beat/enjoy: 25-35 hours for main storyline, potentially 200+ hours to 100% the game. - Performance: Game either locks at 30 or 60 fps, graphics aren't that insane so any potato should be able to run it - Family Friendly: This game is meant for everyone Final Thoughts Imagine Pokemon, but it was actually made with pure love. With the studio having only 3 people, it delivers beyond what Pokemon fans have been yearning for almost three decades at this point. The vibe is cozy, soundtracks are peak, the storyline is absolute cinema, and gameplay actually has depth. Monster designs are unheard off, and the fusion system gives you a combination of more than 10,000 options. In fact, I'd recommend this game for those who are still hesitant to try this genre of RPG. There are so many things that I would love to talk about this game, but it would simply take too long to finish this review. All I can say is try it for yourself. 👍 RECOMMENDED. Buy now, don't wait for sales. There's also a sequel coming on March 2027.

liked it more than i thought i would, wished i had played it sooner sure, it's a monster-catching game, but saying it's a "pokémon-like" does such a disservice to all the different concepts this game has. some positives: - the way types interact is more complex than just "super-effective" or "super-weak", most of them work with status effects. you can also cheat in boss fights if you know how to play with types, which is super funny. - even if monster fusions aren't an entirely new idea, the way they work in cassette beasts is so interesting, and allow for abundant designs while still making designs that make sense. i'll take mix-matching parts before any ai ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ anytime. - i love every single one of the partner characters; apart from each having different monsters (allows for finding more strategies with your monsters!!) they also have questlines associated with them. they dont appear out of nowhere wanting to help you!! they have some background to them!! yippee!! - most battles autoscale to your level, i didnt have much trouble getting past the story but you can also adjust the settings to avoid autoscaling. - the monster designs. love them or hate them, they all have their own concept they're based on and represent it well. also, all have a second entry in the bestiary explaining references and inspirations. it's so cool how most of them have some folklore inspiration, like robin hood, cat-siths or vampires. - the OST. oh dear god, the OST. there are lyrical versions and they're not afraid to be cheesy. once you hear the arrow of time leitmotif EVERYWHERE you cannot unhear it some negatives: - exploration is annoying at first. it's an open world but some parts will be blocked off because... you cant jump 1 centimeter higher, which is very annoying in the beginning of the game because you dont know if you're supposed to wait until you have more skills, or if you should be able to get there and you're just not plataforming correctly. after getting skills it becomes way easier, but you keep finding exploration skills until... pretty much the end game. - there are platforming-based puzzles, and the 2.5 D graphics dont make them easy. controlling your character mid-flight is clunky, physics sometimes mess with your movement, some puzzles are plain unpleasant to do, and my brain doesnt compute perspective when the world is 3D but the characters are 2D. also yes this game is so woke that it has they/them pronouns, found family, destroying capitalism, being cringe being free, romanceable characters, sappy songs and more. so cool to know the dev team isn't scared to be genuine, and that this game doesnt fall into the irony pit of indie games that think edgy=mature so yeah love it <3 cant wait for cassette beasts 2002!!

类宝可梦天花板，整体来说相当不错，想找宝可梦代餐的可以入。但如果是不喜欢宝可梦玩法的就自行斟酌。 本作在保留一些宝可梦战斗精髓的同时，又能构建一套自己的独特玩法，有很多让人眼前一亮的设计。比如系别克制，不是简单的伤害翻倍，而是针对克制产生不同的效果。游戏里有塑料系妖怪，众所周知塑料燃烧会转化成有毒物质，所以火系打塑料系会让对方暂时变成毒系，诸如此类还有很多。 音乐和美术很无敌，音乐曲风偏欧美，妖怪设计有大量现实民俗神话的致敬，游玩过程很舒适，硬要挑刺的话就是妖怪融合之后的样子绝大多数都很雷霆，也就比宝可梦无限融合里面那些ai生成图好看一些。 目前看下来个别差评主要集中在节奏慢+地图解密。先说节奏，中后期确实放缓了很多，重复刷刷刷，但官方准备了金手指可以护肝，评论区或者视频网站上一搜就有，而且不影响成就获取，我个人觉得不是什么特别大的问题。再一个就是地图解密，除了有一个大天使跟着箭头走之外其他的都还好，个别解密比较难但几个箱子的奖励也并非刚需，技能贴纸商店都能刷出来，要知道对比宝可梦系列里的某些隐藏和解密这个其实也还好。

The closest thing you’ll find to Pokemon. Especially that experience of playing the gba third gen games for the first time. Great quest progression. Interesting battle system. It’s got all you’d want in a monster collector. Its biggest flaw is not its fault in that this genre has been overshadowed by a single series for 30 years. If you don’t mind leaving Pikachu at home for a bit this is worth checking out.

ポケモンライクかと思いきや、意外と練り込まれたオリジナリティのある作品です。 個性的なシステム、複雑なタイプ相性、自由度の高い戦略性、リッチな演出など、随所に工夫が感じられ、パクリとは言わせない意欲がひしひしと伝わってきます。 ただ、自分はいまいち乗れませんでした。 独自性を出そうとするあまり、無暗に複雑になりすぎている印象を受けます。 特にタイプ相性はただでさえ直感的に理解しにくいうえに種類も多く、状態異常も独特。 個性を打ち出そうとした結果であることは強く伝わるため、評価はしたいのですが、自分には少々しんどかったです。 目的地のわかりにくさも気になり、クエストが発生するはずの場所で長いこと右往左往する羽目になりました。 ステッカーを用いたバトルシステムには確かな面白さがあると思うので、カードゲームが好きなゲーマーには刺さるかもしれません。 世界観は自分にはややチープに映りましたが、そのレトロでカジュアルな雰囲気は開発陣の狙いでもあると思うので、一概に欠点とは言えません。 総じて自分にはノットフォーミーでしたが、この価格帯でこれだけの作り込みを実現していることは間違いなく評価に値します。

Very fun and unique game, the music is so relaxing at times, especially Harbour Town I ended up using Leech a lot which was pretty overpowered Some of the trainers could have been so much cooler though, the design was perfect in the game, but the cutscene dialogue was just the same cringe after a while Overall loved this game though 8.5/10

Comparing this game to pokemon feels like underselling it, it's no question in how unique it is from the pokemon games. The 2v2 being default for fights, the type reactions causing status effects instead of just simple damage, the relationship system, the open world, the story, all of it is so amazing, and the music? The world's best cherry on top, I've listened to is so much outside of this game, and will likely buy the a copy of it soon. My only possible complaint is that the end game is a bit grind-ey, but it's not a huge hurdle, and I am looking forward to buying 2002 as soon as it comes out, everyone involved in this game should feel proud, and I recommened a try to anyone who likes games

An unapologetic love letter to Pokemon. It's full of heart, does the Pokemon battle and build mechanics at least as well as Pokemon itself, has pretty fun exploration mechanics that feel like a better realization of what their previous game (Lenna's Inception) was going for, and has legitimately one of the best soundtracks of any game I've ever played. Like, I would say the soundtrack is worth buying on its own, completely independent of the game (I left a positive review of that LONG before I left this review of the game itself). I can say confidently that at least one full hour of my playtime, possibly several hours, was just me idling in the main town, because I wasn't about to leave while the second verse of Wherever We Are Now was playing. It's basically impossible to talk about the meat of the gameplay without directly comparing to Pokemon, so here goes: It generally does a better job of selling the usefulness of status effects, though still has Pokemon's (Really, most JRPGs') problem that "whack 'em until you win" is too effective of a strategy too often, and it makes too many encounters feel like filler. Moves never get overwritten, they just go to your inventory and can be swapped around basically freely, which encourages experimentation but also makes monsters have less of a sense of identity. Having double battles be the default is a legitimate game-changer. Branching evolution paths be the norm rather than an occasional oddball, alongside monsters sometimes learning uncommon versions of moves with passive effects, and Bootlegs (roughly Cassette Beasts' equivalent to Shinies) being mechanically distinct from their base forms, makes it feel worthwhile to collect multiple of the same creature. All this to say, it's pretty good. Play it.
