A wildly creative Pokemon clone with some great ideas but the overall gameplay I never found very rewarding and at times, found to be pretty frustrating.

Some platform-y world discovery that is also not very rewarding and at times, fairly frustrating.

Overall, I found Cassette Beasts a game I really hoped to like more. I think it has some great foundational pieces that, with a sequel and additional development of some of the platforming aspects, combat, and quality of life additions, could be a legit alternative to Pokemon. If you're a big fan of games like that and have been frustrated with clones that just don't work, this could be a surprise, albeit one that still has some issues.
