  • A couple years back I went through a binge of three different indie monster-tamers on my switch. I thought Cassette Beasts was the least interesting. I was engaged enough to more or less 100% it (pre-dlc), but then I dropped it and barely thought much of it afterwards.

    I remember Nexomon Extinction had meh gameplay, but the artwork was pretty, and the story, characters, and dialogue were all really engaging and often funny and kept you moving. Monster Sanctuary was basically the exact opposite, where the plot was totally forgettable and the art was mediocre, but the game mechanics were really well-thought out and fun. I still come back to that one periodically. Cassette Beasts was basically in the middle of these two extremes, it did everything well, but there weren’t any aspects of the game that went far enough beyond “done well” to stand out as memorable.

    Not hornyposting at all when I say I need to see the american pikachu-redesign tiger with huge breasts and all the other design proposals from the american staff. Those sketches are historical artifacts and someone needs to dig them up and put them in a museum.



  • Damn it seems kind of weird that people are upset over this one thing in particular, but on the other hand I can’t think of any good examples of video games that were not historically accurate and no one got upset so it’s probably pretty normal and also I think the fact that the year of high school I missed was the one where history class is devoted to samurai means I don’t have a good handle on how much this inaccuracy destroys the immersion for a normal person.
