They’re using GameNative to play the PC version of the game on Android. Considering the 10 minute startup time, it sounds like it’s recompiling the game to be ARM compatible every time it launches.
Comment on Am I just bad at games???

10 mins to get to a title screen sounds like a red flag without having actually played it myself
Assuming you’re playing on PC, have you got it installed on an SSD rather than an HDD? Some games really don’t like being run from an HDD these days

Yeah, my Starfield installation with a few hundred (probably conflicting) mods doesn’t even take 10 mins to load. Presumably, Cassette Beasts isn’t a couple hundred gigabytes, either.
I’d throw my hat into the “full HDD” ring for OP.

I have no clue what OP is playing on, but I just booted it up on Steam Deck and got to the title menu in 75 seconds, and I shit you not 15 seconds of that was actually downloading an update and I didn’t restart the timer.

Maybe OP is playing it off a cassette player like on C-64 ;)
