About
Temtem is an in-development MMORPG created by Crema that has drawn comparisons to the Pokémon series of video games. Like Pokémon, Temtem finds the player traveling a world, collecting monsters, and pitting them against each other in battle. The monsters, called "Temtem," have type strengths and weaknesses, also like Pokémon. The game was announced via a Kickstarter campaign in 2018 and went into Early Access in January of 2020. The game is scheduled to release in 2021.
History
On May 29th, 2018, Crema, a development team from Madrid, Spain, launched the Temtem Kickstarter. [1] The game's description reads thus:
Every kid dreams about becoming a Temtem tamer; exploring the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago, discovering new species, and making good friends along the way. Now it’s your turn to embark on an epic adventure and make those dreams come true.
Catch new Temtem on Omninesia’s floating islands, battle other tamers on the sandy beaches of Deniz or trade with your friends in Tucma’s ash-covered fields. Defeat the ever-annoying Clan Belsoto and end its plot to rule over the Archipelago, beat all eight Dojo Leaders, and become the ultimate Temtem tamer!
The game also has a co-op focus, and all battles will feature two of the players Temtem against one or two of an opponent's. The Kickstarter made over $573,000, well beyond its $70,000 goal.
Early Access
On December 5th, 2019, IGN posted a trailer for the game (shown below, left). On January 20th, 2020, IGN posted an anime-style launch trailer for the game's early access period (shown below, right).
The game's early-access launch was popular but suffered from technical issues, as players overloaded the servers.[2] Updates reportedly led to a better experience.[3]
Online Presence
Crema, a small development team, has an active Twitter[4] account where they post updates about their game. The game also has a dedicated Wiki.[5] Prior to the early access launch, YouTuber SkillUp posted a glowing review of the game's Alpha, saying it was "better than Pokémon" (shown below).
