Hey folks! This time were taking a look at the various human characters you can befriend and battle alongside
Its dangerous to go alone in New Wirral, so Rangers encourage prospective adventurers to travel alongside a partner. In Cassette Beasts there are 6 partner characters to find and unlock. Once unlocked, they will happily travel and battle alongside you whenever you want. If you need to swap who youre travelling with, just pop back to Harbourtowns Gramophone Cafe, where everybody meets up.
Your partner will follow you around anywhere you go. During local co-op multiplayer, the second player takes control of the active partner character. In battle, each player has exclusive control over a single character and gets to decide what move they use. If youre playing alone, youll have control over both characters during battle, of course!
Carniviper and Dominoth? It's a good job Meredith is here to even the odds!
Let's meet some of these partners!
Kayleigh If you played our Steam Next Fest demo, youll have met Kayleigh. She gives the player their first tape and explains some of the basics of life in New Wirral. Hailing from Ireland, Kayleigh is a kind and friendly ranger who wants the best for her friends and community. Her preferred monster form is the Air-type monster Sirenade.
Meredith Meredith is a sarcastic and antisocial Londoner who occupies herself repairing Harbourtowns electronics. She likes dumb action movies and bands with tragic backstories.
Eugene Eugene, the self-proclaimed Protector of Harbourtown, also appeared in our Steam Next Fest Demo. When and where hes from isnt clear, other than his quest is to rid New Wirral of the undead but something doesnt quite seem right. Why are these vampires wearing suits? As for the other partner characters, youll have to wait and see!
When you have a rest at a campsite (or in the cafe) your friend will usually have something to say. Every once in a while this triggers a social event that will progress your relationship with them to the next level. These social events increase the strength and abilities of your fusions by increasing the strength of your bond. Choosing certain dialogue options can also lead to something more than friendship
