If you go round cramming your pockets stuffed with monsters, accidents will occur. Just have a look at Cassette Beasts, a newly-announced Pokémon-ish battler the place critters can quickly fuse collectively into highly effective new varieties. Presumably they’re gummed along with lint, a Werther’s Original, and one of many outdated pound cash retailers not settle for. Come see among the mighty merged varieties within the trailer under.
They’re not truly pocket monsters, thoughts. Instead, the true monsters are us. As we’ve all recognized. All alongside. Apparently people on this island report monsters onto tapes, then play them again to themselves flip into the monsters, and look you’ll be able to’t inform me Pokéballs are any extra wise than that.
It’s being made by Bytten Studio, a pair of former Chucklefish people whose debut game was the Zelda-ish Lenna’s Inception. They say Cassette Beasts is partially impressed by Alex Onsager’s Pokémon fusion doodad, which mixes sprites of pocket monsters to create new critters. My favorite tackle that sorta factor is Louan Ben’s Emoji Mashup Bot.
Cassette Beasts is headed to Windows and Linux via Steam. No phrase but on when it’ll launch. Read extra concerning the game on its website, and see a couple of merged monsters in this browser-based fusion demo.
Pokémon is a type of games that makes me eye Nintendo consoles with jealousy, a type of which by no means appears to get a PC equal with the identical form of magic. Can’t get an important Zelda or Animal Crossing spherical right here both, although god is aware of folks strive. The latest massive Pokéhope on PC is Temtem, presently in early entry, however that’s an MMO and ah that’s not the identical.
