If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro-inspired creature-collecting and battling RPG, you're in for a treat if you're on iOS, as it's now available for you to dive into. However, if you're an Android user, you might be left scratching your head wondering where the promised release has gone. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news for you.
While iOS players are already exploring the game's world and battling with their collected creatures, Android enthusiasts are currently out of luck. Developer Bytten Studio has announced that the Android release has been pulled back due to pending approval for a new patch on Google Play. This patch aims to address some last-minute issues that surfaced before the intended launch.
It's a real shame, especially since Cassette Beasts has been highly anticipated for its blend of classic creature-collecting mechanics, engaging battles, and expansive overworld exploration. These unexpected delays, while frustrating, are sometimes unavoidable. Here's hoping that the issues are resolved swiftly and Android players can soon join in on the fun.
Beastly business
It's a common occurrence in the gaming world for launches to hit snags. What makes this situation particularly challenging is the timing of the necessary patch and the approval process on Google Play. This delay can be quite a hurdle.
Given the recent buzz around alternative app stores and their potentially faster approval processes, one might wonder if a broader launch strategy could have mitigated this issue. It's certainly food for thought, though we expect Cassette Beasts to be back on the Android storefront within a few days.
