   Absolutely solid monster collecting mmorpg, especially for being a kickstarter. Cant wait to see what this game grows into.

It has server issues at this time, but the development team is working hard on consistently updating and monitoring it's progress. All mmos have issues like this at launch. Once you get into the game though, it's an extremely refreshing take on the collection genre. The game has a decent level of challenge with well designed creatures that are cute. A battle system different enough to stand out from Pokemon. Using stamina instead of PP, and a priority system with more depth. Rng in battle has been removed so you can fight with more tactics. There also is a focus on synergy with teams due to being balanced by double battle's. Overall it's at the moment more than I expected, and I am excited to see them add all the features they plan on updating later.… Expand

This game doesn't "kill Pokemon" and nor does it need to; Pokemon's platform-dependence means that it's missing out on a fairly large segment of the market which Temtem is now trying to fill.
   
   That's all I'm going to say about the weird "Pokemon vs. Temtem" fight that's going on in these reviews.
   
   In terms of gameplay, Temtem is fairly complex. While there is a burden of knowledge for simply recognizing the types of the opponent Temtems and knowing the massive table of strengths and weaknesses, that burden can be lessened by having images to refer to in order to smooth out the learning process. Once you've learned all of the Temtems and elements, the references should no longer be necessary.
   
   Synergies and Traits add an interesting twist to Temtem gameplay. Certain abilities may be buffed by having other Temtems of certain types in play, so especially in co-op, it can be important to coordinate with your partner to ensure you're filling each others' synergy requirements.
   
   Attacks seem relatively balanced so far, with attacks that have high stamina costs doing what seems like logarithmically more damage to tradeoff their turn usage and attacks with long cooldowns doing a lot more damage because of their lessened availability. Determining what abilities to bring, which Temtems to use, and how to appropriately combine their skills is the essence of the Temtem tactics within a fight. Outside of a fight, breeding your Temtems and giving them the right equipment is very important.
   
   The only feature I'd wish they'd plan on adding is cooperative with more than 2 players. The synergies are already fairly complex with only two Temtems on the field at once, but with 3 or 4 it could cause some very interesting dynamics. Sadly, however, the developers have said there are no current plans to create "raids", which I assume implies we'll be sticking with 2-player cooperative for now.
   
   While I expect there to be limited longevity with the current state of the game, the developers plan to add many Temtems over time and definitely seem to have new features planned out. For an early access game, this is quite a good experience. As always, if you'd like to support the development, feel free to buy in, but there's no harm in waiting until the game is fully released if you'd prefer to see how it plays out in the long-term.
   
   End note: servers have been struggling under the load of new players over the past couple days, so if you buy it now, you may need to be patient. If that's a dealbreaker, just wait until they've fixed the server issues.… Expand
