    Lunistice, Waveland, Cassette Beasts, and Dungeons of Aether.

    I got all the enjoyment I can out of Dungeons, so I’m probably going to swap back to Into the Breach for my puzzle fix. Cassette Beasts is finished, unless I want to finish the postgame or hunt bootlegs.

      How is cassette beast? I almost bought it last sale. Looks like if someone other than Gamefreak made a Pokemon game

        I have never gotten into Pokemon save for the Mystery Dungeon series, but I find it really engaging. Things I like:

        • instead of move selection gated by limiting to 4 moves and limiting PP, there’s AP. You gain 2 AP per turn, and can spend more of it to do more powerful moves.
        • Instead of types doing double/half damage, types give buffs/debuffs which are apropos to that type interaction. (Water “extinguishes” fire, lowering attack)
        • All buffs/debuffs are on a turn timer (attack is lowered for 3 turns)
        • Buffs/debuffs transfer when you switch beasts
        • Stacking the same effect adds turns to the timer rather then strengthening the effect.
        • All timers are visible onscreen under the HP bar
        • Before you confirm an attack, the effect icons show under the highlighted enemy.
