If you've been eagerly anticipating the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro-inspired creature-collecting and battling RPG, and you're using an iOS device, you're in luck as the game is now available for you to enjoy. However, if you're an Android user, you might be wondering why the promised release seems to have vanished. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news for you.
While iOS users can dive into Cassette Beasts immediately, Android users will have to wait a bit longer. Developer Bytten Studio has confirmed that the Android release has been temporarily pulled due to pending approval for a new patch on Google Play. This patch is necessary to address some issues that surfaced just before the planned launch.
It's a setback, especially since Cassette Beasts combines classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration, making it a highly anticipated title. These last-minute delays are often unforeseen, but we're hopeful that the issues will be resolved swiftly, allowing Android players to experience Cassette Beasts soon.
Beastly business
It's an unfortunate reality that sometimes game launches don't go as planned. What's particularly frustrating in this case is that the need for a last-minute patch can be hindered by Google Play's approval process.
Given the recent buzz about alternative app stores, one might wonder if a broader launch strategy, utilizing platforms with quicker approval processes, could have mitigated this issue. It's something to consider, though we expect Cassette Beasts to return to Google Play within a few days, ready for Android users to enjoy.
