    I don’t want to leave the impression that I dislike Cassette Beasts, though, because I don’t – not in the least. Cassette Beasts may borrow pretty heavily from Pokémon, but there are enough fun twists on the basic ideas that it manages to carve out an identity that’s all its own.

    We still have a lot of adventuring left to do in New Wirral, and we’re in no way upset about it. More monsters to record and remaster, a few more mysteries to uncover, characters to grow fond of, and about 13,970 more fusions to see. Some (hopefully pre-launch-only) performance issues, wonky balance, and overly complex battle mechanics did little to affect how much we enjoyed Cassette Beasts. In fact, it’s one of the better monster-battling games not starring a little electric rodent that you can enjoy on your Nintendo Switch.

Can't do anything without itAs of writing this review the performance on the Switch version is unplayable. It's way too laggy and jittery. Can't do anything without it freezing for a second. Whenever it gets updated I hope I'll be able to continue playing and see how great it is, but for now I have to unfortunately turn it off and wait for an update. Expand

The team behind the portWhile I love the game, the characters, style and battling I am unable to rate higher due to the poor switch port. The team behind the port have acknowledged they are working on patches as of release but nothing yet and sadly it is pretty unplayable on switch the further you progress Expand
