Record monsters on cassette tapes and transform into them to fight. Fusing with a companion creates a new form.
What makes it fun
Read the type reactions
Type reactions can inflict a status effect, but an attack can also give the enemy a protective wall. Choosing a move means thinking about the reaction it will trigger.
Build a counter with stickers
Stickers let you swap moves and passive effects. You can rebuild a setup after a loss, even looking for a way to reflect an opponent's attack.
Fusion changes form and moves
Fusing with a companion blends your beasts' appearances and gives the fused form access to both sets of stickers. The combination changes how it looks and what it can do in battle.
