If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro-inspired creature-collecting and battling RPG, and you're an iOS user, you can start playing today as the game is now available on the Apple App Store. However, if you're on Android, you'll need to hold on a bit longer as the release has been unexpectedly pulled from the Google Play Store.
Cassette Beasts developer, Bytten Studio, has confirmed that the last-minute delay is due to pending approval for a crucial patch on Google Play. This patch aims to resolve some issues that surfaced just before the planned release. While this is disappointing news for Android users, the studio assures that the game will return to the Android storefront as soon as possible.
The game has been highly anticipated for its blend of classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration. Such last-minute delays are unpredictable and frustrating, but we're hopeful that the issues will be resolved swiftly, allowing Android players to dive into the world of Cassette Beasts soon.
Beastly business
It's an unfortunate reality that game launches don't always go as planned. In this case, the need for a last-minute patch and the subsequent approval process from Google Play have caused the delay. This situation raises questions about the potential benefits of launching on alternative storefronts, which might offer quicker approval processes. However, we expect Cassette Beasts to be back on Android within a few days.
