Cassette Beasts 2024 - A Year in Review

Hi everyone! Jay from Bytten Studio here. I thought it'd be a good time to check in on how things have gone for Cassette Beasts this year!

Cassette Beasts in 2024

The year started with a bang with the annual Cassette Beasts Showcase where we announced the release date for the Multiplayer Update and announced the Mobile port! The response was very positive, which continued into the summer with our special live concert - which debuted a new song! We went into the latter half of the year with the Gauntlet Update which launched only last month, alongside the opening of Steam Workshop for Cassette Beasts! It's been amazing seeing both the reactions to the updates and to see the community grow!

Our music duo of Joel and Shelby also performed the music of Cassette Beasts live for the first time at the Bonus Stage charity event here in the UK! The momentum of Cassette Beasts has only grown and grown across this year, which is incredible to see for a team as small as ours! Some stats to chew on:

Cassette Beasts has over 600,000 players across all platforms!
There are over 6,900 Steam user reviews at an average score of 95%!
Songs from the soundtrack were streamed over 2.5 million times on Spotify, listened to in nearly 150 countries!

What's in store for 2025...

Whilst the Mobile ports were unfortunately delayed longer than intended, our publisher Raw Fury and their porting partners are working hard on them and are aiming for a launch early next year. The 1.7 update was not the last update for Cassette Beasts - you can expect more information in next year's Cassette Beasts Showcase! We're super excited for the future of Cassette Beasts and hope you are, too!

Finally, here's a card for you - the community!

Enter the mailbox code SNOWTIME for a slushy surprise! As always, you can keep up with Cassette Beasts via our official Discord and now on Bluesky, too! See you all next year! ~ Bytten Studio

Grab your cassette player, it’s time to transform!

Collect awesome monster forms to use during turn-based battles in this indie open-world RPG. Combine any two monster forms using Cassette Beasts’ Fusion System to create unique and powerful new ones!

Welcome to New Wirral, a remote island inhabited by creatures you’ve only dreamed of, nightmares you hopefully haven’t, and a cast of brave folks who use cassette tapes to transform for battle. To find a way home you’ll need to explore every inch of the island, and record monsters to tape to gain their abilities!

Features

Transform into monsters using… retro cassette tapes?!
Faced with the constant threat of monster attacks, the residents of Harbourtown, New Wirral choose to fight fire with fire. Record a monster to tape, then play it back to take on its form for battle!
Fuse monster forms
Getting close to your companion has benefits–while transformed you can combine your strengths to gain the upper hand in battle! Any two monster forms can be fused to produce unique, fully-animated new fusion forms.
Explore a rich open world
Certain monster abilities can be used in human form. You’ll need these to help you get around, solve puzzles, and locate dungeons. Glide, fly, swim, climb, dash, go invisible, or turn magnetic!
Travel alongside a diverse cast of human companions
Never fight alone! Form bonds, spend time together, and help your selected partner complete personal goals to become a better team. The strength of your relationship determines how well you’re able to fuse!
Master a deep battle system
Take advantage of elemental chemistry to apply extra buffs or debuffs alongside your attack, or even alter your opponent’s elemental type!
