Temtem

"Temtem is a fun RPG, but it definitely lacks originality. Without a lot of ideas of its own, it&s;s hard not to think about the concept of a missed opportunity, especially when you consider the creators&s; multiplayer ambitions and the …"

"If the Pokémon formula is your thing, Temtem takes it a little further with its new combat, multiplayer, and higher level of challenge. It doesn&s;t have the refinement of Pokémon in certain areas, and its "always online" component makes it …"

"Temtem is enjoyable, pretty, and has cool combat, but it’s hardly amazing. It’s not unique, nor is it a real MMO."

"Temtem is a unique yet familiar take on the monster-collecting genre. Its blend of MMO mechanics gives it the potential for a long-running, sustainable community with more to enjoy than a single-player narrative. The new combat mechanics are a fantastic …"

"It&s;s easy to write it off as a copy-pasted clone, but the additional features of co-op battles, deep synergy combat mechanics, and rich endgame content culminate in a real diamond in the rough for those finding the competitors lacking. The …"

"Temtem is a decent, more MMORPG-focused alternative to other popular monster-collecting games."

"What it lacks in charm, Temtem makes up for with mechanical depth and involved multiplayer."

"Temtem is definitely worth getting for something different, yet familiar. It&s;s worth the price of admission, but that&s;s all you should spend on it."

"Temtem is a fun monster-catching game that offers plenty of twists on the well-worn Pokémon formula."

"Crema has developed an over-the-top and fantastic title that should not be missing from a genre fan&s;s collection."

"Temtem is not simply a Pokemon Clone, the game offers a lot of its own unique content as well. You can catch, tame, or breed the monsters as expected, but it also builds upon certain shortcomings of the gameplay of …"

"Temtem follows a rather simple premise. What if Pokémon’s first generation was made today? The result is an excellent dose of nostalgia with many modernized features such as campaign co-op and a rich endgame. It’s about time Nintendo’s stagnant franchise …"

"Temtem may look like a copycat on its surface, but its deviations from the Pokémon formula pay off considerably. With unique battling elements and an engaging MMO structure, Temtem evolves as its own experience and offers a vast, challenging adventure …"

"Temtem may look like Pokemon on the surface, but a deep battle system and engaging PvP elements make up for the similarities."

"There&s;s finally a legit upstart contender for the monster-collecting throne..."

"When all is said and done, Temtem is far more than its inspirations. Though it stumbles occasionally, the game offers an experience that even the most grizzled Pokémon fan will enjoy while also building up a new world for fresh …"

"Even without the endgame content, Temtem is worth a look for anyone who has enjoyed a Pokémon game in the last two-and-a-half decades, especially those who have wanted a steeper challenge to go along with their critter collecting. It&s;s a …"

"Temtem takes on one of the biggest licenses in the world and manages to pull it off. While some titles that remain in early access for several years never offer a final release, Crema studio&s;s goal was clear from the …"

"Temtem’s disappointing, because it promised to be so much. In a genre that has been so utterly dominated by one particular property, and then lightyears back to the nearest rival, here was a game that seemed like it had the …"

"Temtem is a perfectly-playable game; there’s no pesky bugs or glitches, or anything glaring that the QA team didn’t catch before the game saw its 1.0 release in September. But when it comes to the fun factor, it’s evident what …"

"Temtem is fun and enjoyable, but it doesn&s;t even try to reinvent the wheel, settling for just being a poke-clone."

"Temtem isn&s;t just a copycat Pokémon. Incorporating MMO elements and engaging characters into fan-favourite gameplay is an overwhelming success, with an abundance of addicting endgame content. Unfortunately, Temtem suffers from optimisation issues and needs to present its most captivating features …"

"That&s;s the one area where Temtem unfortunately forgot to copy from Pokémon: they forgot to make it fun. They may have copied the Nintendo behemoth in lots of ways, and the game may provide an interesting glimpse into how Pokémon …"

"Temtem was never going to usurp Pokémon as the best monster catching game. But if it gets at least part of the way there, then it should be considered a success. In that light, then, Crema has indeed succeeded. This …"

"If you’re a Pokémon fan you need to pick this one up, even if you’re not the casual laid back play is enjoyable for creature hunters of all levels!"

"By and large, Temtem is a well-made, generous monster-taming RPG that differentiates itself enough from the obvious competition. The battle system is perhaps its main strength, offering quite challenging 2-on-2 fights even against wild encounters. It&s;s jam-packed with stuff to …"

"While players may not be playing TemTem for the next 10 years, if Pokémon games are your jam, then TemTem will offer you a great experience for the foreseeable future."

"Temtem is a fantastic game when you look at its story and gameplay mechanics alone. However, when you see the variety of activities it has to offer and the way its economy is structured, it will make you second-guess your …"

"Temtem is unequivocally a homage to the Pokémon franchise, but it does bear its own unique traits. The game is worth checking out for anyone looking for an experience that harbors the core DNA of Pokémon with an alternative take …"
