Cassette Beasts is a Mons Series game developed by Bytten Studio, the team that made Lenna's Inception, and published by Raw Fury. A demo version of the game, showcasing the first few areas and first major boss, was made publicly available in a 2022 Steam Next Fest. The full game released on April 26, 2023. The official website of the game is located here.You play as someone that's just washed up on the shore of New Wirral, an island that seems to exist in its own dimension, as its other inhabitants from across various eras inform them. Its Rangers Guild has at least found a way to deal with the island's native monsters: by using retro audio cassette tapes, humans are able to record the monsters' essences and transform themselves into identical creatures. While getting your bearings and adjusting to your new life, you and one of your new friends, Kayleigh, stumble across a powerful entity that promises to help them find a way to return to Earth once they put its pieces back together. Thus begins a grand quest to find your way home...The game has a DLC Expansion, Pier of the Unknown, which was released on October 4, 2023, featuring a brand new location, Brightside Pier, a new storyline, new monsters, and new character costume options.

Actually Four Mooks: Touching a regular monster in the overworld will lead to a fight with one, two, or three monsters. Some of the random Rogue Fusion fights, which appear on the overworld as one shadowy monster, can actually be a gauntlet of five regular monsters plus the fusion itself. These Fusion Swarms are at least distinguishable by the small storm cloud hanging over them.

Practical Currency: Aside from the coin slot in Clee-0 and the money-grubbing Landkeepers, nobody in New Wirral has a use for money. Instead, raw resources like wood, plastic, and metal that are dropped from defeated monsters are bartered for products that can be made from them.

Relationship Values
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_19a781f
comment
Relationship Values: Your bonds with characters are denoted by a heart level, which starts at 1 once you complete that character's quest (except for Kayleigh, who hits bond level 1 when you first fuse with her during the battle against Morgante, and level 2 when you complete her quest), and can be increased afterwards by repeatedly battling alongside that character, capping at 5. This isn't just cosmetic, either: as your bond level with characters increases, your fusions with that character get progressively higher stats (and starting at Level 2, you also gain access to a powerful Fusion Power skill whenever you fuse with that character).

Palette Swap: Rarely, a monster will have different coloration; these are called "bootlegs". A bootleg monster has a different typing (related to its coloration), and its learnset will change to match its new typing. Bootlegs also have a higher chance of yielding rare stickers when levelled up. If you specifically acquire an Astral-type bootleg Traffikrab, when remastered, it will turn into a Magikrab rather than a Weevilite or Lobstacle.

Super Drowning Skills: Played straight at first — falling into any body of water that goes more than waist-deep will pop you back to where you left the ground, same as falling into a Bottomless Pit. Recording a Diveal tape will allow you to swim, though you're still limited by your Stamina Meter.

Glitter Litter: All attacks of the "glitter" type cause the target's type to change to "glitter" for three turns, representing glitter's tendency to get everywhere. Because most attacks define their type as the user's type, this often results in every monster on the battlefield being covered in glitter.

Bittersweet Ending: The player character ultimately succeeds in finding a way back home. But leaving New Wirral is a one-way trip, and since all of the player's companions (possibly including their lover if a romance is pursued) come from different universes and timelines, they will all be separated and most likely never meet again. Except for Barkley, who chooses to join the player character in their universe. A post-game quest also reveals that you cannot actually get rid of the dangerous fusions that are attacking New Wirral, as they are explicitly being sent by the Mer-Line to test humanity.

Weather Manipulation: Certain moves will alter the ambient weather during battle (Thunder Blast creates a rainstorm, Blizzard creates snow, etc). Some moves even actively harness weather (such as Fog, which negates the accuracy of any move that isn't Ice, Wind, or Water, or the Butterfly Effect move, which gains different effects/typing depending on the current weather).

Bizarro Elements: Besides the usual Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, Earth, Air, Plant, Poison, and Metal, there's also Beast, Astral, Plastic, Glass, and Glitter as elements. The last of these is especially unusual, as Glitter-type moves will temporarily convert anything they hit to another Glitter-type, and hitting a Glitter-type monster will change its typing to match.

Wide-Open Sandbox: After completing the game's opening segment and encountering its first boss, the player is given the freedom to explore and do whatever they wish in New Wirral, from fighting all the Ranger Guild Captains to become a proper member, to helping Hoylake research the monsters, to finding and completing every potential party member's personal quest, with exploration only limited by what traversal abilities they have. Notably, the main goal of repairing Archangel Morgante and completing her song in order to find a way home only requires defeating eight of the nine Archangels; the ninth one is so that Kayleigh can locate the mirror to the way home for you, and defeating four Archangels along with meeting with Aleph face-to-face is sufficient to be able to access the final area in the first place, if you can manage to stumble across its entrance.

A Wizard Did It
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_6bfc52a3
comment
A Wizard Did It: An NPC near the player's new home in Harbourtown states that nobody knows why cassette tapes can capture monster essences, but as long as it works, the reason doesn't really matter. At the end of the quest to join the Ranger's Guild, Leader Ianthe's own theory is that the art of music is intangible, but humans can seal that intangibility in cassettes, so it's a conduit for similarly fantastical things such as New Wirral's monsters. And at the end of the main story, Archangel Morgante reveals that the tapes are merely conduits for innate power. Captain Lodestein, the electricity-themed captain in the Rangers Guild, expresses a similar sentiment about how the island is actually powered when being challenged; he assumes that some of the material in New Wirral is naturally electromagnetic, but doesn't actually know how or why.

Punny Name: Almost all of the Mons have this. For instance, the starting duo are Candevil (a devil made out of candy) and Bansheep (a ghostly sheep noted to moan during the night). Some, but not all, of the Archangels avert this.

Diverging Evolutionary Phases
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_737094b9
comment
Diverging Evolutionary Phases: Several monsters have alternate evolution paths. Some involve having specific stickers equipped to the monster when you remaster it, others involve environmental effects like time of day, and yet others change depending on the answer to an abstract question answered by the player. For example, when you remaster the two starter monsters, Candevil and Bansheep, you are asked a mysterious question — whether you wish to pursue alchemy or metallurgy for Candevil, and whether a restless spirit should be buried or ascended for Bansheep — which determines their path.

Creepy Changing Painting
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_7916f22e
comment
Creepy Changing Painting: When first exploring the wrecked Titania, one room features a painting that suddenly floats off the wall and changes to feature a Mardiusa's mask pattern, before you're attacked by a Mardiusa. In the Pier of the Unknown DLC, there's a hallway full of paintings in the Witch House. When you get far enough in, the lights flicker and the faces in the paintings suddenly change into much more sinister forms. If you get into a battle while in the hallway, two of the paintings appear in the background; if the battle goes on for long enough, the lights will flicker and the paintings will change again.

Breather Episode: Felix and Barkley's quests technically count as this. The end boss of Felix's quest, Shining Kuneko, is the only main story Archangel other than Morgante to not be absorbed by Aleph, and the only one not to unlock part of Morgante's riddle, while the end boss of Barkley's story isn't an Archangel at all, but a powerful yet ordinary monster named Averevoir, who killed Barkley's former human partner and must be defeated so Barkley can bury the body.

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Uniquely, in addition to dealing more or less damage depending on type advantages, elemental attacks can buff, debuff, or even entirely change the defender's type. For example, an Air-type hit by a Fire-type move gains an air shield buff, a Fire-type hit by an Air-type move gets a debuff which lowers their offenses, and an Ice-type hit by a Fire-type move will turn into a Water-type. To note, there are 14 typesnote Air, Astral, Beast, Earth, Fire, Glass, Glitter, Ice, Lightning, Metal, Plant, Plastic, Poison, Water, with Glitter and Beast being "neutral" types.

Doing In the Wizard: This happened In-Universe: The early residents of New Wirral thought the monsters were angels, which is where the Archangels, as the most powerful and incomprehensible among them, got their name. As people learned more about the so-called angels and found ways to deal with them, they lost their eerie factor and became known simply as monsters. However, the Archangels kept their name because they're still not well understood.

Shape Dies, Shifter Survives: A variant with human combatants. Reducing a tape to 0 HP forces its user to revert to their natural form, but they can switch to a new tape after the current turn, and broken tapes can later be fixed. However, any excess damage that wasn't absorbed by the tape carries over — it's possible to defeat human opponents outright (or be knocked out yourself) by dealing enough overkill damage.

The mysterious triangle man, who has appeared every time the player defeats an Archangel, shows up in the middle of Harbourtown to introduce himself to the player as Aleph, and is revealed to be an Archangel himself. When Aleph learns that the player intends to find a way to leave New Wirral, he teleports the player to a dead world to get rid of them. By luck, the player gets rescued by Ms. Amber, who reveals that she, Morgante, and Aleph used to be a team before splitting up. This event establishes Aleph as the main antagonist of the game and the primary threat to the player's quest to return home.

Magic Feather: At the end of the main story, Aleph Null destroys the player's cassette tape player, disabling their fusions. Morgante then speaks inside their mind, stating that humans are prone to acting without full information and that the tapes are merely talismans used to channel innate power, leading to the player and their allies realizing that they can still do Fusion without it. Kayleigh gifts them a spare player after Aleph is dealt with, though, because it's still easier that way.

Foreshadowing: When the Harbourtown train station is first revealed, sharp-eyed viewers may see a dark silhouette within the vortex that erupts from the ground. It's the Big Bad of the game, leaving after critically wounding Morgante. When the player character first encounters Kuneko during Felix's quest, one of your dialogue options is: "Was that an Archangel?" Fast forward to the end of the quest, and sure enough, Kuneko transforms into the Archangel Shining Kuneko, the end boss of the quest. In Pier of the Unknown: Gwen's name turns out to be this, coming from Gwenivar, which sounds similar to Guinevere, another figure from the Arthurian mythos, like Archangels Morgante and Aleph who are based on Morgan le Fay and King Arthur respectively. It is eventually revealed that Gwen is not only an Archangel, but also one who used to be part of Aleph's troupe. The three engines you fight are all named — Raven, Rose, and Pearl. With the reveal that the engines used to be human, those were likely their names before that happened. If you ask Gwen about Archangels, she'll mention she doesn't know what those are. Morgante mentions that 'Archangel' was the name given to them by the humans of New Wirral, with previous groups of people calling them different things, so Gwen didn't know the name applied to her as well.

Interestingly, this appears to be a humans-vs-monsters difference rather than player-vs-NPC, as when the Ranger Captains de-fuse, the tapes they were using are also defeated. When humans fight using tapes, any damage left over from breaking a tape applies to the human, making it possible to defeat human opponents outright (or be defeated yourself) by dealing enough overkill damage. Unless, that is, you're up against one of several human teams (including rematches with the aforementioned Ranger Captains) that are scripted to fuse when they're down to their last two tapes. It's still possible to prevent them from fusing by knocking out their third-last and second-last tapes in the same turn (and they'll comment on it if you do), but there's no way to end the fight early like in other human battles. (It can be especially jarring if you or your partner ends up getting knocked out by overkill damage during the same fight.) Rematches with Frankie and Vin (two NPCs that you encounter singly in the post-game several times each before they choose to team up) take this a step further. Not only are they immune to being knocked out in human form, but they can use a combined total of seven or more tapes in their battles (when the most your team can carry is six).

 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_b426973b

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Implied to be something that happens occasionally, though it's not something you or your companions ever deal with. A few human opponents exhibit some monster-like behaviors. (Barking like a Pombomb, being attracted to a lamppost like the Dominoth line, wanting to remove people's bones like a Jellyton...)

Temporary Online Content: There is a mailbox in the house you're given in Harbourtown that can be interacted with to enter special codes distributed by the developers and redeem them for bootleg cassettes. However, these codes must be entered within a specific time frame or they will expire. This is downplayed by the fact that, while it relies on random chance, any potential bootleg can still be found in the wild.

Double-Edged Buff: The "Ghostly" status effect given by the move "Haunt" makes a monster impervious to almost all attacks while it is active (only Damage Over Time, attacks from another Ghostly monster, or attacks from a monster equipped with the Phase Shift sticker can inflict damage). However, once the status runs out, it's an instant KO on the monster that was previously benefitting from the effect. The "Gambit" buff, given by the move of the same name, greatly boosts all stats on the targeted monster while it's active. However, once it runs out, it's once again an instant KO.

Doppelgänger: The Black Shuck, a copy of the player character painted black. Usually when you walk up to them they disappear, but there is a slim 1% chance they attack with copies of your top two tapes. Their tapes have a permanent Ghostly status effect, so one either needs to inflict damage-over-time status effects such as Poisoned or Burned, become Ghostly themselves with the Haunt ability (and beat them within 3 turns before the effect runs out and breaks your tape), or use the rare Phase Shift sticker to ignore the status. If you beat them, you get the Black Shuck's Tape, which changes any monster recorded with it into an Astral-type bootleg.

comment
Shout-Out: In the Gameplay Settings, the highest option for AI Smartness is "Literally Skynet". A couple from 2160 complain that nobody knows about the three seashells. Binvader is deliberately designed to look like a Dalek, as it's a green tentacled alien in a contraption resembling an upturned garbage can with two specialized arms for "emitting deadly beam attacks" and "aggressively prodding." Binvader remasters into Binterloper, which now resembles a modern plastic wheelie-bin. This calls to mind the Autons from Doctor Who. Specifically, the scene from the episode Rose, in which an Auton taking the form of a wheelie bin eats and copies a human. Djinn Entonic is based on a phenomenon in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where the majority of sentient aliens have independently invented drinks with names homophonous to "gin and tonics".

Cosmic Horror Reveal
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_cb11543c
comment
Cosmic Horror Reveal: The game starts out as a fantasy adventure at a magical island populated by both humans and monsters and located in a different dimension from Earth. Then the opening quest concludes with your encounter with Morgante, revealing the existence of the powerful and incomprehensible eldritch entities known by the local human residents as Archangels. This starts the game's main quest of finding more Archangels across the island to gather more clues for you to find a way to return home. Eventually, it is revealed that Archangels are embodiments of various concepts birthed from humanity, with the final boss being an incarnation of conquest whom you need to stop from causing destruction across reality. A post-game quest also reveals that the island's entire railway system, which you most likely have used to travel across the island on numerous occasions, is not only an Archangel themself, but also responsible for the island's very existence, as well as you and everyone else being stranded on it.

Developer's Foresight
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_d24ed873
comment
Developer's Foresight: You normally discover a way to leave New Wirral by defeating multiple Archangels to unlock more parts of Morgante's song. It is possible to solve Morgante's riddle without completing her song, but it requires a lot of luck or trial-and-error, since the location and the action the player needs to perform to unlock the final dungeon by revealing a mirror that can transport the player there are randomized for each save file. The developer's foresight comes from the fact that if the player manages to find and reveal the mirror that leads to the final dungeon before defeating 4 Archangels, which triggers the sequence where the player visits the Amber Lodge and uses an identical mirror to return to New Wirral after being stranded on a dead world by Aleph, the player will not be able to enter the final dungeon, since at this point the player has no idea that the mirror can send them to a different location, let alone the gateway to leave New Wirral. During the main story, every time you defeat an Archangel to gather more clues from Morgante's song to leave New Wirral, Archangel Aleph will show up and absorb the Archangel you just fought. Eventually, Aleph transforms into Aleph Null by fusing with all Archangels he has recruited throughout the game. Since Aleph only absorbs Archangels you have defeated, Aleph Null will not have any body elements or Angelic Attacks from Archangels you have not fought.

This is very useful if things are going wrong and you don't want to waste time on an unwinnable battle. The prompt will also appear if you fail to run away from a wild battle.

Exact Words: In the Pier of the Unknown DLC, after beating the first Infernal Engine, you point out to Gwen that it resembled an Archangel. Gwen testily replies that she doesn't know what that word means. Later, it's revealed that Gwen is an Archangel, and the Infernal Engines were deliberate attempts at creating artificial Archangels. As Gwen reminds you, she never said she didn't know what an Archangel is, only that she didn't know what the word meant — she, like Aleph, calls them "egregores".

Sprint Meter

comment
Sprint Meter: Your character has a stamina meter that recharges while not in use (though running completely out of stamina disables any abilities that use it and makes it take longer to recharge). You start with only a rather anemic dash, but the unlockable abilities used for getting around or through obstacles (such as gliding or swimming) will also use stamina. As you defeat Archangels, you'll gradually upgrade your stamina, going from being able to briefly jog for about a second or so to being able to rapidly cross significant amounts of the map without having to stop to rest.

Emergency Weapon
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_ef42ca88
comment
Emergency Weapon: Monsters that have been put to sleep or petrified have their moves largely replaced with set movesets. Sleeping monsters have access to the powerful yet incredibly inaccurate Sleep Walk, Sleep Talk, and Summon Tulpa, while petrified monsters can only use the defense-increasing Defend and Raise Shields moves. If a monster can't choose any of its moves on its turn (this mostly happens if you're running a set of high-cost moves and don't have enough AP for any of them, or if an entirely support-focused monster gets all of its moves disabled by the Berserk status or the like), then it will be granted the ability to use the basic, low-powered Smack move for that turn.

comment
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Despite making multiple allies in New Wirral, your party can only consist of one partner plus the player character, with a third slot on the player's side of the battlefield reserved for back-up like monsters summoned by the "Call for Help" skill.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_f821e963
comment
The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Night's Bridge Station, a huge train station with a far more ethereal aesthetic than the stations that previous bosses have been fought in. It's meant to be unlocked after defeating at least 8 Archangels, and happens to be where the game's finale and climactic Final Boss fight takes place.

New Neo City
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_fd807d08
comment
New Neo City: The island is called New Wirral and was settled by the crew of the HMS Birkenhead, so it's presumably named after the Wirral Peninsula in the UK where the town of Birkenhead is situated. This is supported by the appearance of the monster Averevoir, which closely resembles the Liverbird, which is the symbol of the nearby city of Liverpool. There is an abandoned town on the island called New London. Clee-0 was a waitress in a 24th-century casino in New Vegas.

Theme Naming
 Cassette Beasts (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: Many parts of New Wirral are based on Arthurian Legend. As mentioned by the beginning quote, Wirral was the land that Gawain travelled in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The first Archangel you encounter is named Morgante, after Morgan le Fay, and she talks about Mordread, who was slain by Aleph (who is in turn based on King Arthur). The island's subway system is known as the "Mer-Line", named after the wizard Merlin. The Pier of the Unknown DLC features Gwen a.k.a. Archangel Gwenivar, named for Guinevere.
