One of the game's main mechanics is transforming into the titular beasts. Throughout the game we acquire cassettes with recorded monsters.

These aren't useful only during battle. Some skills are needed to access specific areas and solve environmental puzzles.
During our adventure we're accompanied by other characters as well. Each ally has their own motivations and goals. Helping our companion reach those goals increases their effectiveness during combat.

COGconnected: 87 / 100 by Stephan Adamus
Finally, the music in Cassette Beasts is excellent. A large portion of the soundtrack is made up of catchy synth rock, that brings to mind 80s soundtracks like the original animated Transformers movie. There are also lots of background songs that feature full vocals, which was a real treat. The issue with this was that some of the music transitions were quite jarring. Background music is sharply reset by opening menus, talking to NPCs, and entering new areas, and this is very obvious when vocals are cut off. But I still commend Cassette Beasts for trying out vocals on their soundtrack. The music itself is truly memorable.

Cassette Beasts is the best monster collecting game I've ever played, with sensational combat and a wonderful world to explore.
GameCrate: 8 / 10 by James Carr
Cassette Beasts is a fresh take on the monster collecting genre, featuring both whimsical creatures and actual floating nightmares in its surreal world. A double battle system with dozens of different buffs and debuffs creates a need to be more strategic and its story goes far beyond a desire to become champion or to just catch'em all, but you can still do that too if you want to. A few shortcomings in the quest systems and platforming hold it back, but only slightly. Cassette Beasts proves itself as far more than just a knockoff, and is instead a brilliant game in its own right.
