If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro creature-collecting and battling RPG, and you're using an iOS device, you're in luck as the game is now available. However, if you're on Android, you might be wondering why the promised release has vanished, and we have some unfortunate news to share.
While iOS users can dive into Cassette Beasts immediately, Android players are currently out of luck. Developer Bytten Studio has confirmed that the Android release has been pulled due to pending approval for a new patch on Google Play. This patch aims to address some issues that surfaced just before the planned launch.
It's disappointing news, especially considering Cassette Beasts has been highly anticipated for its blend of classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration. These last-minute delays are unpredictable and can be frustrating, but we're hopeful that the issues will be resolved swiftly, allowing Android users to experience Cassette Beasts soon.
Beastly Business
It's an unfortunate reality that game launches don't always go as planned. What's even more challenging is when a patch is needed at the last minute, as in this case, and the approval process from Google Play can cause delays.
Given the recent buzz around alternative app stores, one wonders if a broader launch strategy involving platforms with quicker approval processes might have mitigated this issue. While it's just a thought, it's likely that Cassette Beasts will return to the Google Play Store within a few days, ready for Android users to enjoy.
