I've got no association with the game, any developers, publishers, whatever, I just really like the game a lot.

Of the pokemon-likes I've ever played, it's easily my favorite, in part because it's one of the most creative. In fact it's barely a pokemon-like, just taking the basic formula and then really doing their own thing with it.

Great story, great gameplay, great vibes, and decent (but not stellar) post-game.

Recommended for anyone who likes monster collector games or quirky indie games.

This is exactly how I feel about it. It feels like the creators love and were inspired by Pokemon, but aren't just making a carbon copy. There are so many Pokemon-clones out there, it's great to see that Cassette Beasts merely took only the most basic foundations of Pokemon and truly built their own original game on top of that foundation, rather than trying to rebuild the exact same structure.
