Cassette Beasts iOS Launch, Android Awaits Patch Approval

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro-inspired creature-collecting and battling RPG, and you're an iOS user, you're in luck as the game is now available for you to enjoy. However, if you're on Android, you might be wondering about the sudden disappearance of the promised release. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news for Android users.

While iOS players can dive into the world of Cassette Beasts right away, 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 aims to address some issues that surfaced just before the planned launch.

It's a real shame, especially since Cassette Beasts has been highly anticipated for its blend of classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration. These last-minute delays are often unpredictable, and we're all hoping that the issues will be resolved swiftly so that Android players can soon join in on the fun.

Beastly Business

It's an unfortunate reality that sometimes game launches don't go as planned. What's even more frustrating is when a last-minute patch, like the one needed for Cassette Beasts, gets held up in the Google Play approval process.

Given the recent buzz around alternative app stores, one might wonder if a broader launch strategy, including platforms with faster approval processes, could have mitigated this issue. It's certainly food for thought. However, we expect that it won't be long—likely just a few days—before Cassette Beasts is back and ready for Android users to enjoy.
