After the gentle ramblings of Wandersong and the contemplative care package that was Chicory: A Colorful Tale, one of the last things I expected developer Greg Lobanov to make next was a Pokémon-style sports tactics game. But here we are regardless, and cor, I think Beastieball might be what I've been looking for in a Poké-like ever since my love for Pokémon proper began to wane around the Black and White era. I've dipped my toes back into the Poké pool more recently, of course, but I don't think my love for it now will ever be as strong again as it was back when I was a rabid 10-year-old playing Red and Yellow on my Game Boy. Partly because I'm a recovering Pokédex completionist and I just can't put myself in that kind of position again, but mostly because the innovations Pokémon's tried to introduce in more recent entries have all fallen a little flat for me.

I used to hate it when I'd see Vampire Survivors clones. I unashamedly loved that game and its lo-fi, fidget-spinnery brilliance, and I cackled when it displaced games hundreds of times its size in awards ceremonies. Look at this outrageously basic pretender getting all of the attention - it was anarchic and exciting. But because it had such a bright moment, copycats inevitably followed, slavering over their imagined piece of low-investment, high-return pie. That they would lick even crumbs from the plate irks me still; they offered nothing but greed.
