Trivia / Cassette Beasts

• Acting for Two:
  • Allegra Clark voices Ms. Amber and Clémence.
  • Kayleigh McKee voices Dorian and Sunny.
  • Savy Des-Etages voices Viola and Ranger Captain Cybil.
  • Sean Chiplock voices Ranger Captains Zedd and Lodestein.
  • Tara Platt voices Morgante and Kuneko.
• All-Star Cast: The game has an impressive voice cast, especially for an indie game, featuring Sean Chiplock, Allegra Clark, Aleks Le, Jennifer Losi, Yuri Lowenthal, Kayleigh McKee, Risa Mei, Marin Miller, Tara Platt, Cindy Robinson, J. Michael Tatum and Edwyn Tiong.
• Inspiration for the Work:
  • As revealed in the Steam Q&A, Cassette Beasts' main gimmick of using monster tapes to transform was inspired partly by the Henshin Hero genre, specifically Kamen Rider.
  • The way the Fusion Dance mechanic works and its correlation to relationships takes influence from Steven Universe.
  • The presentation of the Archangels with varied, surreal visual styles take influence from the Witches in Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
  • A later Reddit AMA reveals that Morgante and Aleph are inspired by Morgan le Fay and King Arthur from Arthurian Legend, though with an unusual twist that Aleph is portrayed as a conqueror instead of a rightful king to reflect Britain's history of conquest.
• Queer Character, Queer Actor: Both Ranger Captain Skip and their voice actor Marin Miller are non-binary and go by they/them pronouns.
• Real-Life Relative: The game's voice cast includes real-life married couple Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal, with the former voicing Morgante and Kuneko, and the latter voicing Aleph. Ironically, the game reveals that Morgante and Aleph used to be lovers before becoming enemies. The two Archangels also had a son, like their voice actors do in real life.
