Temtem is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Spanish developer Crema, and published by Humble Bundle. It was released in early access through Steam on January 21, 2020, and PlayStation 5 on December 8, 2020,[2] with the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S versions released alongside the full release of the game on September 6, 2022. Temtem uses the Unity development engine, and is a creature-collection video game greatly inspired by the Pokémon series.[3] The game was partly funded through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, from May to June 2018.[4]

Synopsis and gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Temtem's gameplay is largely inspired by Game Freak's Pokémon series. Players explore the area capturing the eponymous Temtem creatures and command them in double battles against other Temtem controlled by an NPC or another player. All battles in Temtem happen in a 2x2 environment, similar to double battles in Pokémon series.

In the game, players assume the role of a novice Temtem tamer who starts their journey around the six floating islands of the Airborne Archipelago while facing the threat of Clan Belsoto, an evil organization that plans to take over the islands by force.
