Stuck together with lint

If you go around cramming your pockets full of monsters, accidents will happen. Just look atCassette Beasts, a newly-announced Pokémon-ish battler where critters can temporarily fuse together into powerful new forms. Presumably they’re gummed together with lint, a Werther’s Original, and one of the old pound coins shops no longer accept. Come see some of the mighty merged forms in the trailer below.

They’re not actually pocket monsters, mind. Instead, the real monsters are us. As we’ve all known. All along. Apparently folks on this island record monsters onto tapes, then play them back to themselves turn into the monsters, and look you can’t tell me Pokéballs are any more sensible than that.

Cassette Beasts is headed to Windows and Linuxvia Steam. No word yet on when it’ll launch. Read more about the game onits website, and see a few merged monsters inthis browser-based fusion demo.

Pokémon is one of those games that makes me eye Nintendo consoles with jealousy, one of those which never seems to get a PC equivalent with the same sort of magic. Can’t get a great Zelda orAnimal Crossinground here either, though god knows people try. The newest big Pokéhope on PC isTemtem, currently in early access, but that’s an MMO and ah that’s not the same.
