After spending hours playing Cassette Beasts on mobile, I can confidently say this game is something special. It brings a fresh twist to the monster-collecting genre, and now it’s finally on Android and iOS. Let me break down how it feels to play on mobile.
Gameplay: Classic but Creative
The core gameplay is just as fun on mobile. You record monsters onto cassette tapes and transform into them during battles. The fusion system is the highlight — you can combine any two monsters to create new ones, and it’s crazy how many combinations there are. Battles are turn-based but feel strategic thanks to elemental interactions.
Graphics and Performance: Smooth and Stylish
The pixel art looks fantastic on mobile. Colors are bright, and animations are smooth. I didn’t run into major lag or crashes on my device. However, older phones might struggle a bit during fusion animations. Overall, it runs well and looks great.
Controls: Needs Some Tweaks
The touch controls work okay, but they could be better. Buttons feel small, and hence it’s easy to tap the wrong option a few times. So, the game definitely needs an option to adjust on-screen controls. That would make combat and exploration much smoother.
Sound and Music: Surprisingly Good
The soundtrack is excellent, and the dynamic music during battles adds energy. I was surprised by how good it sounded even on phone speakers. But if you want the full experience, use headphones.
Monetization: Free to Try, Pay to Continue
The game is free to play up to a certain point. To unlock the full game (which offers over 15 hours of content), you need to pay a few bucks. I think it’s fair because the game feels like a full console experience, not some cheap mobile copy.
Final Thoughts: Almost Perfect on Mobile
Cassette Beasts feels right at home on mobile. It’s fun, creative, and worth the time. The only thing holding it back is the lack of customizable controls. If the devs fix that, this could easily be one of the best mobile RPGs out there.
