Really good game. You can feel the passion and sincerity of the developers oozing from every part of this, from the character and monster designs to the sound track to the storyline. More importantly, it's a volleyball based jrpg. It's such a fresh take on the formula and one I love. Best thing about volleyball? Battles ESCALATE, with every point scored by either team ratcheting up the tension, unlike in the standard hit point based battles where by the time you're to the last enemy, it's not even a concern.

Disclaimer: I think this game is best enjoyed blind. --- I don't usually like turn based RPGs that much, nor have I played much in the way of Pokemon or other monster collection games. This lead to my surprise when I found that I absolutely ADORE this game. Each component of the game, from writing to art to music to gameplay, is excellently crafted and designed. Not only that, but the game also comes with some fresh ideas and amazing design decisions that I honestly expect will influence the future of the genre. Most impressively, the game adapts to your decisions and strategy and builds a dynamically adapting storyline for your team, which is both adorable and very immersive.

Literally better than every pokemon game I have ever played. It is a peak product of the whole mon collection genre. It does not waste your time. Despite being in early access it is already a complete and full product with post-game, a full game story, and 100+ beasties. I cannot stress this enough, this is literally better than every pokemon game released in the last 25 years. Everytime I got some form of anxiety about something I have to do in a pokemon game, this game basically said don't worry about it. It is cathartic. getting setup for pvp takes almost no time, no need to breed, no iv's, easy ev's, easy ev resets. absolutely 100% biggest recommendation. There is a literal rougelike mode built into the end-game. Its sick af.

This game caught my interest because of the art style and the concept. Fell immediately in love with the demo. The NPCs have personality, the writing flows well, and the monsters are absolutely adorable. The premise is pure sports anime where you, the rookie is climbing the ranks to save your hometown nature preserve. Complete with boss music. Now what really really tickled me is the relationships your monsters have based off their personalities. They get different combo attacks etc based off these relationships. But that's not all. They will react based off these dynamics too. My two starters: Lotl and Spot decided immediately they were rivals. and not the encouraging kind, the I AM better than the other. They always played well together though. Until, before an official match, they were staring down each other and demanded to know who I was counting on more. I sidestepped because honestly I was going to need both of them (and they didn't like that). Then, in the match, I swap Spot in to an instant one shot, match losing point. They started actively bickering, blaming each other after every match, until eventually they started SABOTAGING EACH OTHER ACTIVELY IN MATCHES. I started worrying that I would have to bench one, but....after a bit...they decided they missed each other more than this feud and became Partners instead of Rivals. Just a bit of character fleshing out I didn't expect. So yes, I fully recommend this game. I'm enjoying all the discoveries I'm making.

I played a bit over 20hrs of Beastiball during the playtest and I fell in love with it back then and just knew that on the release date it'd be a game I would buy immediately. There are multiple variations of each beastie, even when it comes to the shinies of them which makes each and every one feel special and unique. While you're playing with the beasties, they can learn new moves from other teammates or even opponents which is just fun and enjoyable to unlock. Your team will also sometimes beef with other teammates, or get along really well and developing a better bond and boosts when they play together... they can even fall in love! I have so many positive feelings towards this game, it's probably the best game I've played in years. I can't not recommend it- and I'm not even interested in sports at all! Buy it, you definitely won't regret it!
