If you’ve been under the impression that Pokémon reigns unchallenged in the realm of creature-collecting video games, it may be time to broaden your horizons. The vibrant world of Monster Hunter Stories has emerged as a formidable contender, while classics like Shin Megami Tensei and Digimon Story continue to deliver fresh experiences for fans of the genre. For those looking to explore this captivating landscape as the new year approaches, the Epic Games Store is currently offering a delightful opportunity: Cassette Beasts, available for free until December 28.
Exploring Cassette Beasts
In a review penned by PC Gamer’s Lauren Morton earlier this year, Cassette Beasts was described as “a pretty sick Pokémon remix,” highlighting its innovative approach to creature collection. The game introduces players to a unique array of element types, including plastic, glass, and glitter, setting it apart from traditional offerings. Instead of capturing wild creatures, players engage in a creative twist by transforming into monsters they’ve recorded onto cassette tapes.
Despite its indie roots, Cassette Beasts has made significant waves in the gaming community, achieving an impressive milestone of over 1.1 million units sold as of November. This success speaks volumes about its appeal and the growing interest in alternative creature-collecting experiences.
For those who prefer to maintain their gaming library on Steam, Cassette Beasts is also available for purchase at a modest price of .99 until January 5. Whether you choose to download it for free on the Epic Games Store or opt for the Steam version, this game promises to be an engaging addition to any collection.
