Cassette Beasts, the retro creature-collecting RPG, is now available on iOS, but its Android launch has been unexpectedly delayed. Developer Bytten Studio reports a last-minute snag in Google Play's approval process for a crucial patch addressing pre-release issues.
iOS users can already embark on their monster-catching adventures, but Android players will have to wait. The delay is unfortunate, especially considering the game's highly anticipated blend of classic creature collection, battling, and open-world exploration.
A Setback for the Beasts
Unfortunately, launch delays are a reality in game development. The current situation highlights the potential challenges of Google Play's approval process, particularly when urgent patches are required. The extended approval time is frustrating, especially given the recent rise in popularity of alternative app stores. A multi-platform release strategy utilizing stores with faster approval times might have mitigated this issue. However, the delay is expected to be short, with a return to the Google Play Store anticipated within a few days.
In the meantime, while waiting for Cassette Beasts' Android debut, consider exploring some of the top new mobile games featured in our recent roundup.
