Key Takeaways

  • The new Gauntlet Update for Cassette Beasts adds Magikrab’s Gauntlet, an endless mode offering huge rewards.
  • Additionally, Ranger Wilma will now offer Sticker Fusion services.
  • Players are now able to use items and switch their partners’ NPC’s tape in gauntlet mode and multiplayer raids.

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for retro-style RPGs and monster collection games, I can wholeheartedly say that the Gauntlet Update for Cassette Beasts has been a game-changer! The addition of Magikrab’s Gauntlet, an endless mode offering massive rewards, has provided a new challenge for veterans like myself.

In a natural and easy-to-read manner,

Released by Raw Fury, the game titled “Cassette Beasts” debuted for PC systems in April 2023. Approximately a month afterward, adaptations for Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles were made available. This game showcases retro graphics with pixelated detailing and boasts a unique monster collection system. Similar to the famous game “Pokemon“, Cassette Beasts distinguishes itself by emphasizing a fusion system that allows players to blend the 120 creatures within the game into over 14,000 distinct blended combinations.

The main feature introduced on November 20th is called Magikrab’s Gauntlet. To access this new gameplay mode, players need to finish the quests called Land of Confusion and Take Me On first. You can find it at Night’s Bridge Station for a shot at acquiring potent rewards. A trailer accompanying the update showcases players embarking on a train journey filled with random battles alongside their Cassette Beast companions. As per the official patch notes, the gauntlet places players against opponents they’ve previously encountered, as well as introducing fresh enemies in progressively challenging encounters. This gauntlet can be completed either solo or cooperatively with an invited friend using the game’s online multiplayer feature.

Beyond the introduction of the fresh game mode, some unique features in Cassette Beasts have been made accessible to players while they engage in the gauntlet mode and multiplayer raids. In these gaming sessions, players now possess the ability to employ items and interchange their partners’ NPC tapes. Moreover, they can fuse with their partners’ NPCs, a feature that is expected to bring additional flexibility and strategic depth to both game modes.

As a thrilled player, I’m excited to share that a new feature has been added to Cassette Beasts: Ranger Wilma now provides Sticker Fusion services! However, this option appears during late-game stages, only after you’ve conquered both Land of Confusion and Take Me On. So, for those just starting their adventure, don’t fret, you’ll get to enjoy this feature later on. Furthermore, the update introduces a handy function that lets you dismiss quests from the Ranger Noticeboard if they no longer interest you by chatting with Frankie in the Town Hall. Keep in mind, exercising this option will require fused materials.

Cassette Beasts 1.7 Gauntlet Update Patch Notes

New Additions

  • Magikrab’s Gauntlet has been added. This is a new gameplay system that is available in Night’s Bridge Station after completing the Land of Confusion and Take Me On quests.
  • In the gauntlet you face an endless series of randomised and increasingly difficult battles against friends and foes old and new.
  • You can take on the gauntlet on your own, or invite a friend through online multiplayer to take on the challenges together.
  • Ranger Wilma now provides a Sticker Fusion service after you’ve completed Land of Confusion and Take Me On. Sticker Fusion allows you to move rare and uncommon attributes you like from one sticker to another.
  • After Frankie has completed her training, you can speak to her in the Town Hall to clear the ranger noticeboard of quests you don’t want. This costs a certain amount of Fused Material, and you get no quest rewards.
  • During multiplayer raids and gauntlet battles you can now use items, fuse with your partner NPC, and switch to your partner NPC’s tape.
  • Steam Workshop support has been added.

Fixes

  • Spitzfyre’s stats have been increased to be in line with normal values for a final stage remaster.
  • Berserk no longer affects passive moves.
  • Scripted battles’ RNG is re-seeded when you re-attempt them after fleeing or defeat. This won’t affect the majority of players, but is noted here for the speedrunning community.
  • Fixed the game using an unusually large amount of memory if you cross the overworld loading boundary and camp in Lakeside.
  • Fixed common Peekaboo stickers sometimes not stacking.
  • Fixed Copy That copying the wrong opponent if the intended target is a fusion. (Note: it copies only one member of the fusion.)
  • Custom/Random Starter into Machine Cursed Change the Record no longer triggers automatic passives like Custom Starter on the tape you switch to.
  • Fixed Clobber’s AP cost being too high for it to be useful.
  • Fixed avatars of other players during online multiplayer sometimes warping into scenes at the wrong position.
  • Randomness is now used as a speed tie break during PvP battles, instead of the host player taking priority.
  • Fixed Fission Power not respecting the temporarily-imposed level limits during raid battles.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed already-hacked fusion raids to be hacked again.
  • Fixed stickers with the ‘compatible with any tape’ attribute being allowed in no-attribute PvP battles when not compatible without the attribute.
  • Fixed an overflow bug that could occur if you stack many many stat-boosting effects and passives.
  • Fixed a typo in the Harbourtown Heritage Centre.
  • Dual Wield can no longer be used to smuggle damaging/debuffing moves past Machine Curse.
