Beastieball is an upcoming monster-taming sports adventure game developed by Canadian[1] studio Wishes Unlimited[2] and published by Klei Entertainment. The player controls a coach, exploring the world to find collectable "Beasties" that can be used to play volleyball to win titles. The game is planned for a full release in 2024.[3]
Gameplay
Players tour the world, signing Beasties to defeat the eight ranked coaches.[4] When playing volleyball, the player can have two Beasties on the field, with another three on the sidelines. During each turn, the player can make three moves such as passing or changing their position before the ball is hit over to the other side. Beasties take damage when hit, and that damage is dependent on the distance between them and the net. A match ends when a team is wiped.[5] As Beasties grow closer with each other, they gain access to new special abilities that help during matches.[6]
Development
The game was announced during the 2023 Day of the Devs Summer Game Fest event, followed by a Kickstarter campaign launched soon after.[7]
