    {Early Access} Temtem (PC/PS5/XSX/NSW) - Cel-Shaded Pokemon-Inspired MMO - 2021

    Developed by Crema (Immortal Redneck/Drift Punk)

    Spoiler: show




    Temtem, the massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure from Crema, pounces onto PC in late 2019. Inspired by Pokemon, Crema will incorporate a host of features long-time fans of the franchise have requested for more than a decade. A Kickstarter campaign launches today to help make the game a reality and possibly come to Nintendo Switch.

    On a set of floating islands known as the Airborne Archipelago, happy humans and magnificent creatures known as Temtem live in harmony. Some people hear whispers of a nefarious organization that would rather use these animals for labor and war. Be a hero and set out to find and catch Temtem, train and foster unbreakable bonds with them, and stop this shadowy group before they can cause any harm.

    After creating a character, journey across six vividly stylized islands. Temtem’s beautiful cartoony art-style and sweeping music inspire a sense of nostalgic adventure. A fully co-op campaign encourages friends to stay side by side throughout the whole game. As a massively multiplayer game, there are always other players wandering about. Join them in befriending critters soaring in the skies, rummaging through the bushes, and splashing about in ponds. After starting a respectable collection, it’s time to fight!

    A deep, competitive battle system removes all random factors to ensure an even playing field. Level up, learn new abilities, find weaknesses, and exploit them. Skirmishes always play out with two Temtem on each side and up to four players can clash at once. Temtem is built for tournaments and as such has a pick-ban system. Instead of coming into each battle with a set team, players each ban one of their opponents’ Temtem so competitors must always remain adaptable.

    Between all of that adventure and exploration, sometimes tamers need a little break. Complete customization for player housing gives tamers hangout spots to compare caught Temtem. After purchasing a neighborhood home, upgrade, decorate, and furnish it to impress other players and have a space to relax. If a friend managed to nab a Temtem that’s been difficult, trading is always an option.

    Nuzlocke mode is for those who want to form memorable relationships with Temtem at the risk of losing them forever. Any Temtem that falls in battle can never be used again, and only the first creature caught in an area can be added to the collection. By raising the stakes, each battle is nerve-wracking, but players learn to appreciate their furry, feathered, and scaled friends! Hopefully, by the end of the game, it won’t be a collection anymore: it’ll be a family.

    “Growing up and playing Pokémon was one of the best parts of my childhood.” said Guillermo Andrades, Co-Founder, Crema. “I want to give that back to players with Temtem and include all of the features I had dreamed of back then.”

    Temtem comes to PC in late 2019, playable Alpha in late 2018.

    Played through to level 30ish, thoughts so far:

    I don't see the MMO aspect at all. It's essentially about as MMO as any current Pokemon game. There's no player to player interaction, no chat. PVP and trading is all you've got. You can see other players in the field, but..that doesn't really do anything as you can't interact in any way.

    Battles being hard as shit is honestly not all it's cracked up to be as all it really achieved was me running back to the healing machines after every 2 fights or so. I haven't died yet but you will if you're careless.

    Not sure I like where the game is going after just one balance update, upping the price of breeding 5 times what it was. In the same breath, your ability to make money is limited and the only method is among one of the worst I've seen in any video game. Once your trainers are all exhausted and there's no one to fight, all you can do is catch (at cost) Temtem and release them for a small profit (6-7k/hr) and breeding now costs upwards of 60k.

    All in all, I was having fun until that balance change but I'm now thinking there's nothing to look forward to without a massive, un-enjoyable grind. PVP is gated as hell currently and there's a pocket of bought-in-early players that got things for much cheaper. If you haven't bought it already, I wouldn't worry about the game until it's had some time to develop. It's going to need it.

    Time for Pokemon fans to swear off Digital Foundry forever.

    I know I'm being a salty bitch here, but the updates make the game feel like a Pokemon game made by people who take competitive Pokemon way too seriously and also hate fun. There's definitely a market for it, but its not me and I understand that. Pokemon has been getting stale for me since Black/White 2, making it a fucking chore of a grind doesn't seem like the breath of fresh air the game needed for me, when every basic gameplay loop is the same except 50x as tedious and grindy.

    Kinda wish they'd of been a little more ambitious with the concept.

    Nah. I played the EA and the game as well as the people running it were off putting enough during that to ever bother with it again.

    It's pokemon with everything wrong with MMOs. All it did was show me why a pokemon MMO, while it sounds great, probably wouldn't actually be good without some serious considerations taken.

    Do you need it to be an mmo? Did you check any other single player monster taming games, e.g. Nexomon or Coromon?
