    Pokemon if it was good. Absolutely addicting game with an insanely rewarding PVP aspect. No RNG involved and a lot of mindgames. Plus if you like to theorycraft you can do so much, so many wacky strategies.

    I like most of the designs, it runs very well on PC and Xbox, Switch its details but they are being fixed, this game has a lot of potential and is the future of Monster Taming...

    My favorite monster collecting game. Story is fun. Ranked is really good. And the luma (shiny) hunting is really fun! A 10/10 from me!

    Gran juego para los amantes del género, principalmente para la parte online, pero la campaña en solitario es muy buena y larga, además con muchos toques de humor bien tirados en referencia a pokémon.

    While it's heavily inspired by pokémon after playing around with for a bit I believe there are enough differences to make itself stand out. The doubles focused gameplay, No RNG, a stamina system, and a few other things make it a solid alternative.

    Better than Sword and Shield

    The game is a perfect demostration of what fans want in their favourite game, is what we have been asking for pokemon since almost 10 years, and is now a better option than the actual pokemon games for less than half the price

There is so much more to see, so my review may change in the future, but as for right now, I give it a solid 10. I am over 100 hours into the game so far, and I love the Pokemon feel that it has, while also blending in their own unique and new ideas. The game challenges you from the start, and does not let up. the entire story line so far has been hard, much harder than any Pokemon game, which i actually love. All the negative reviews are childish and pointless, so lets keep flooding this game with actual reviews made by people who play the game :) Expand

    A significant mechanical improvement upon the genre, comparing it to Pokemon (the biggest player in the genre) it is significantly better designed, creature typings are far more balanced, the focus on double battles solely vastly improves the flow of the game, and the removal of randomness during battles turns the game from what could've been little more than gambling into a truly skillA significant mechanical improvement upon the genre, comparing it to Pokemon (the biggest player in the genre) it is significantly better designed, creature typings are far more balanced, the focus on double battles solely vastly improves the flow of the game, and the removal of randomness during battles turns the game from what could've been little more than gambling into a truly skill based game.

    Breeding has been significantly improved as compared to pokemon with it both being far more logical and intuitive, while also decreasing it's importance.

    Further the game is also significantly harder than pokemon, in a good way, this game actually presents a challenge and requires some thought, a welcomed departure from the norms of this genre. The game also features a more mature story than some might expect.

    The game world is vibrant and highly varied featuring hugely different fantastical floating islands.

    Generally speaking if you've played pokemon think of every mechanical issue and clunky feature those games have and Temtem has solved them, all the while also turning the game into a much more skill based experience.

    Simply put if you enjoy pokemon I cannot recommend this game enough, after playing it for dozens of hours I can safely say every pokemon game feels lacking by comparison (all the way from red and blue to sword and shield). I've even gone back to old pokemon games, namely crystal and pearl, to see if it was only newer pokemon games that felt lacking, but no those older pokemon games also failed to even match Temtem.

    If you're not a fan of pokemon I'd say give Temtem a look if you enjoy tactical or turn based games it's a stunning example of the monster collection genre and may just make you fall in love with the concept.

    Is it perfect no. Is it good, hell yes. Its a lot of fun to play the story is nice the Temtem are distinguishable and fun to fight with. The way stats and passive works as well as the fact you fight with two of them at a time makes this a different enough and more fun game.

    This game is dope, exactly what I want out of a "pokemon" game. And those who are giving it a zero because its a pokemon rip off are ignorant...This game has excelled on the potential where Pokémon left me flat in sword and shield online.

    Getting down the the mechanics, the game will have you always in a double battle if you have 2 or more Temtem in your party. There are special synergy bonuses for matching up certain Temtem in battle, giving them bonuses to certain moves. There is no PP (Power Points) like Pokemon uses; Instead, you have an SP meter which determines what moves you can use before over-exerting your Temtem, which will then take damage if it over-uses SP. You can wait to recharge the meter in the meantime. Evolution seems to take awhile to accomplish, but I don't mind the wait, personally. You can also have a friend with you for the entirety of the game alongside you with their own Temtem, helping with battles along the way. While that's the full extent of the MMO aspect so far, you can see people running around in the world doing their own thing, albeit without any interaction.
    While the game is still in Early Access, there are plenty of things to do in the game, and it is quite a long game from the looks of it. This is no Pokemon clone; This is its own thing, with its own Temtem type system, battle system and evolution system. The challenge is there, especially when you're against a Temtem team higher level than yourself.

    Hey a monster collection game without a community hugely backing cheating.

    Let me say this, I love Pokemon... i have played pretty much every main series pokemon game since Pokemon Crystal *I wasborn1994* My favorite pokemon is Hydreigon, Espeon is my favorite Eeveeloution and before Espeon it was Jolteon.

    Hey a monster collection game without a community hugely backing cheating.

    Let me say this, I love Pokemon... i have played pretty much every main series pokemon game since Pokemon Crystal *I wasborn1994* My favorite pokemon is Hydreigon, Espeon is my favorite Eeveeloution and before Espeon it was Jolteon.

    Now this game... is honestly amazing and this is from my early access POV... I have clocked in 11 hours so far... I think the biggest thing that was keeping me stuck to it after playing Sword is the difficulty and I wanted to experience the first Gym(Dojo) and boy was I thrilled and I cant wait for my next Temtem play session. This game honestly has so much potential and I hope it does really well.

    My only cons I have for it is that; well at launch there were queue times and lag but after like day 4 all these issues seem polished and I haven't ran into any crashes, lag or queues actually after that initial launch day.
    -ALSO this game needs a better way to make money... I really think we will need some kind of profession system for the economy of this game.

    This game is a work in progress, they released it in EA (early Access) program which means its on early state and theres low content atm.
    For your understanding, the game is at 0.5.4 version as im writing this. Theres TONS of features being worked on.
    This game is promissing.

    The game is still in early access so I hope they decide to continue working hard and don't give into to flooding the entire game with pay to win and micro transactions in the long run. This game definitely beats Pokémon I'm it's graphics and gameplay elements but it's still in its nascent stage and would love to see it as a proper contender against the Pokémon legacy

    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 stay after the main story campaign is done and over with.
