Cassette Beasts Switch physical release revealed

Super Rare Games is back with another Switch physical announcement, this time for Cassette Beasts. Note that the Pier of the Unknown and Cosplay Pack DLCs will be included on the cartridge.

3,000 standard copies will be made available alongside 3,000 for the Deluxe Edition. The latter version includes a copy of the game, full color hardcover art book, XXX track 80s vibe CD soundtrack composed by Joel Baylis, iron-on Cassette Beasts logo patch, full set of trading cards, sticker sheet, full color bespoke manual and SRG game sticker, and a special box.

Cassette Beasts originally came to the Switch eShop last May. We have some information about it below.

Welcome to New Wirral, a remote island inhabited by strange 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 your trusty cassette tapes to gain their abilities!

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.

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!

Team up in online multiplayer to trade Beasts, Challenge your friend to 1v1 duals, or take on a fearsome raid Beast with up to 8 friends to reap great rewards!
