Cassette Beasts is getting a new, free content update on November 20th that introduces a brand new game mode! The 1.7 “Gauntlet Update” will see players taking on previous bosses and rivals in a knuckle-biting fight for fusion material and bragging rights!

Get ready - buckle up for the ride!

Magikrab needs your help – and will pay you handsomely in return! Magikrab’s Gauntlet sees you hopping on one of the Mer-line's interdimensional trains and battling allies, enemies and bosses from your past. Available after the main story, this is the ultimate challenge for those players who think they’ve mastered their monster forms! What’s more, this gauntlet is entirely playable with a friend in online co-op – better buddy up, because this ride is about to get rough!

The new Sticker fusion feature gives you a whole new way to customize your move stickers – better save up those Fused Materials!

[h2]New Cosmetic DLC: Fashion Pack[/h2]



We also have a new cosmetic DLC coming along with the Gauntlet Update!

The Fashion Pack is priced at 3.99 USD/3.99 EU/3.29£ and will come with a ton of new looks for your character as they travel through New Wirral!



The Fashion Pack adds the following cosmetic items to the player’s wardrobe:
• Baseball Cap
• Flat Cap
• Twin Tails
• Bow & Bangs
• Foxy Cut
• Windswept
• Spikes & Goggles
• Swept Mohawk
• Flower & Fringe
• Beret
• Round Specs
• Trenchcoat
• Crop Top
• Tall Boots

[h2]Steam Workshop[/h2]

Whilst the PC version of Cassette Beasts already has a robust modding community, the 1.7 update will bring Steam Workshop support to the game - letting mod creators share their creations directly via the Steam platform!



Finally, in case you missed our Halloween celebration, the mailbox code SPOOKY24 is still active! Enter it at the mailbox for a spooky treat!



We can't wait for you all to check out the game's new update - see you all on November 20th!

Patch Notes: 1.6.0 and 1.6.2

Greetings Beasts' collectors! 🎣

For your reading pleasure, here are today's Updates, Quality of Life, and Bug fixes to make your experience in Cassette Beasts even better, mostly focusing on Multiplayer! Scroll down to the bottom for the notes from 1.6.0 which are pretty juicy but older now.






[h2]Fixed in 1.6.2[/h2]
  • Fixed desync errors in PvP battles where one or more players are using the randomiser.
  • Fixed desync errors in PvP battles where multiple player characters’ tapes break on the same turn.
  • Fixed desync errors in multiplayer activities with Nintendo Switch players related to Magikrab.


NOTE: For the above fixes to work, all players in a lobby need to have the patch installed.

We also missed posting the patch notes for update 1.6.0 that went out a while back - here they are!

[h2]New Additions[/h2]
  • Connect with up to 7 other players (for a total of 8 players) using invite codes, platform invitations, and a more passive “Play with Friends” mode.
  • On PC, as an alternative to using invitations, you can connect directly to other players over a LAN.
  • When using “Play with Friends”, the game will attempt to match you with other active players who are on your platform friends list automatically.
  • Cross-play between Steam, Xbox and Nintendo Switch is possible using temporary invite codes.
  • If you’re on PC, you can play online using mods provided that the other players in your lobby have a compatible set of mods. Cross-play with other platforms is disabled while mods are active.
  • See the other players in your lobby explore the world of New Wirral, and get updates on what they’re doing.
  • Trade tapes with other players in your lobby. If either of you are using the built-in randomisation modes, you must both be using the same seed.
  • Challenge other players in your lobby to PvP battles, with optional rules governing levels, fusion, sticker attributes, and whether duplicate stickers are allowed. You don’t have to be playing the same randomisation seed for this.
  • When you encounter a Rogue Fusion in the world, invite a friend to join you in a raid! You won’t get any Fused Material, but there may be something else you both find useful… Any tapes you record will be received by both players. If either of you are using the built-in randomisation modes, you must both be using the same seed.
  • Note that there will be a process of ironing out issues for a while after release. From time to time we may temporarily degrade server performance, or reduce update rates and the number of players per lobby, until issues are fixed.
  • Added ‘Moonstone Island’ outfit set to the character creator.


[h2]Fixed[/h2]
  • Fixed tapes’ exp requirements to upgrade continuing to increase after 5 stars.
  • Fixed Custom/Random Starter moves taking effect after the user is defeated.
  • Fixed multi-hit moves never hitting for the maximum number of hits.
  • Fixed Throw inflicting damage of the wrong type.
  • Fixed Bad Forecast stickers never spawning with attributes.
  • Fixed Booby Trap’s animation sometimes facing the wrong way.
  • Prevented Booby Trap from being Booby Trapped.
  • Fixed Scubalrus having only 6 sticker slots.
  • Fixed Fragliacci and Rosehood (from the Pier of the Unknown DLC) missing their battle cries.
  • Fixed Pier of the Unknown DLC monster Umbrahella sometimes showing up in flood events. (This only ever happened if you had the DLC installed, but we’ve fixed it since it could unexpectedly spoil the DLC content.)
  • Fixed move and status animations not always lining up correctly with Adeptile, Blunderbusk, Fragliacci, Rosehood, and Scarleteeth.
  • Fixed a few typos.
