Cassette Beasts – Mobile Version FAQ

With the release of Cassette Beasts on mobile devices, we’ve put together an FAQ to answer questions regarding this new release of the game that will hopefully answer any questions you have!

Where can I get Cassette Beasts on mobile?

It is available on iOS here and Android here.

How much does it cost? Are there any IAPs (in-app purchases)?

The game has a free demo period, after which the full game must be purchased. There are two DLCs available as well – the costs for each are:
Full Game: Android 5.99 USD/5.99 £ – iOS 6.99 USD/6.99 £
Cosplay Pack DLC: Android .99 USD/.79 £ – iOS .99 USD/.99 £
Pier of the Unknown DLC: Android 2.99 USD/2.59 £ – iOS 2.99 USD/2.99 £

(Regional prices my vary)

There are no further in-game currencies or IAPs.

What devices are supported?

iOS:
As listed on the store page we do not support the following devices due to device-specific RAM restrictions:
• Standard model iPhone 12 and 13, iPhone XS, XR, iPhone SE 2nd gen, iPad 7th, 8th and 9th generations and iPad mini 5th gen.
• All iPhone Pro versions and iPad Pro versions are supported in full.
If you have a model that isn’t on that list and you’re still experiencing issues, please send a crash report to Cassette Beasts‘ publisher Raw Fury, which you can do so here.

Android:
All Android models are supported, though older models are likely to experience lower performance or unforeseen issues.

What version of the game is it? Does it have multiplayer?

Cassette Beasts mobile is up to parity with Version 1.5 of the regular version of the game. It does not include the online Multiplayer Update (Version 1.6) – or later updates – that the PC and console versions have.

Due to the challenges of porting a game like Cassette Beasts to mobile platforms, we cannot guarantee at this time that multiplayer will come to the mobile version.

Is there cross-save progression?

Unfortunately, due to the version differences, cross-save between the mobile and PC/console versions of the game is not supported.

I am having issues with crashes/bugs!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! There are a few known issues from the game’s launch that the porting team are aware of. For us to get more information, please send a crash or bug report to the Raw Fury helpdesk here.

After updating the game and loading my save, I’m stuck in the floor!

This is a minor side effect of an issue fix for the Android version. Entering the main menu (upper left corner of the screen), saving and reloading your save file should correct this!

Fusion System Highlight & New Gameplay Showcase Trailer

In our last Steam Blog we talked about the in-depth fusion system, a powerful game system that allows you to fuse two different monster forms into a unique fully-animated sprite combination. This system can generate over fourteen thousand unique fusions that will allow you as a player to fully customize your team to fit your unique style!

As part of the Guerrilla Collective digital games showcase we now have more details and new gameplay footage to share!

Go Down Swinging

Hey folks! This week we’re showing off another new monster from Cassette Beasts!

Southpaw has a mean left hook!

Southpaw is a fast-moving, fast punching metal-type beast. Their bodies are coated with a lightweight and flexible metal that allow them to withstand attacks and deliver swift attacks. Unlike Palangolin, which use heavy armour plating and long-range weapons to fight, transforming into Southpaw gives you a lightweight and aggressive form that allows for a more agile approach to battle.

It makes you wonder: what if Palangolin and Southpaw fused in battle?

Combine your powers to become Palanpaw!

While most of the monsters in Cassette Beasts are designed in-house at Bytten Studio, Southpaw was designed for us by character artist Sami Briggs (Smai). Sami has drawn some really cool art for the project, and Southpaw’s pixel art sprite was drawn based on her initial concept below:

When asked about her thoughts when designing Southpaw, Sami said:
“I love creating things that look cool, sharp and sometimes exaggerated, so I really wanted to design a beast that represents my style and tastes! I felt a half-wolf, half-robot boxer would be an interesting combo that best reflected what I was after!”

That’s all from us for now! You can follow us for more news on our Twitter page, and you can do the same for Sami if you’d like to see more of her work. Don’t forget, you can wishlist Cassette Beasts on Steam!

Cassette Beasts Quarterly Wrap Up #1

Hey everyone! It’s been 3 months since we announced Cassette Beasts so we thought it’d be nice to do a catch up of everything we’ve revealed since then – and maybe show off some new stuff as well!

Our announcement trailer reveal in May went down better than we could possibly have imagined:

  • Over 100,000 combined views across Youtube and Twitter
  • Over a dozen press articles including PCGamer and Kotaku
  • A bunch of new Discord community members, now 500+ strong!

Along with the trailer, we also showed off some monster designs, a look into the game’s chemistry system, and also the fusion system. Our in-browser playable fusion demo also let players see for themselves the capabilities of our fusion system!

It’s been fun seeing fans discuss their favourite monster fusions!

Since the reveal, we’ve been showing off snippets of the game alongside working hard on it:

Our reveal trailer song, Same Old Story, was also announced as a part of Black Screen Record’s free compilation vinyl “Sounds of Summer 2020”. It’s really exciting to see our composer Joel’s work alongside other talented musicians – it’s totally free to order the record so you should totally do that!

As a little celebration for our quarter-year anniversary, we thought we’d show off some new monsters!

Carniviper and Dominoth

Carniviper may exude a friendly demeanour, but don’t let its smile fool you – it isn’t particularly welcoming. If these poison-type beasts are encountered in the grasslands of New Wirral, they are known to silently watch any passing humans intently until they leave their vicinity. If not, they’ll become hostile very quickly! You may also have seen Carniviper’s evolved form before.

Dominoths can flap their large wings to take flight, and also whip up gusts of wind to attack their foes. Rumours are that recording this air-type creature uniquely gives the one who recorded it the power to summon wings of their own… That can’t be true, can it?

That’s all for now! Thanks for joining us on this journey so far, it’s been great fun! There’s lots of cool stuff involving Cassette Beasts we can’t wait to talk about, so keep an eye on our Twitter page. As always, feel free to come by the Discord and chat to us!

We hope you’re keeping safe this summer!

Harbourtown Outskirts

New Wirral’s rangers keep this gate locked to keep monsters out of Harbourtown. But it’s been fairly quiet for a few days now!

Vinyl

On an unrelated note, we’ve teamed up with Black Screen Records on their free vinyl Sounds of Summer 2020. You’ll be able to listen to the full version our Cassette Beasts reveal trailer song “Same Old Story,” along with 13 other indie game tracks!
