If you're eagerly anticipating playing 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 about the sudden disappearance of the promised release. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news for you.
While iOS users are currently diving into the world of Cassette Beasts, Android users will have to wait a bit longer. Developer Bytten Studio has announced that the Android release has been temporarily pulled due to pending approval for a new patch on Google Play. This patch aims to resolve some issues that surfaced just before the intended launch.
It's truly unfortunate, especially since Cassette Beasts, with its blend of classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration, has been highly anticipated. These last-minute delays are often unpredictable, 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 game launches don't always go according to plan. What makes it even more challenging is when a last-minute patch, like the one needed here, faces delays due to the approval process on Google Play.
Given the recent buzz around alternative app stores and their potentially faster approval processes, a broader launch strategy might have mitigated this issue. It's a thought worth considering, though we expect Cassette Beasts to return to the Google Play Store within a few days.
