there’s already some planned content post 1.0 that’s been confirmed:

- nuzlocke mode
- arcade bar (mini games)
- temtem showdown and comp v2
- another raid
- more qol stuff + seasonal updates

if you mean like story islands then yeah that’s unlikely atleast for now.

40 Hour MMO thats like pokemon?! Thats already awesome enough but then you explain the battle system which is the whole reason I came to this video because people said some game named TemTem had better battle system than Pokemon and wow I'm sold. Ima try this game out!

For me, the most important part of this game is the balance of every temtem. Almost every single tem is viable for use.

Legacy Gaming

Extremely true. The devs made almost any team composition competitively viable if you learn to play well

A word of warning for new players, don't get the season pass until you beat the story. You barely get any progress until you unlock the challenges.

@Adam pretty sure in the next update they are giving you season pass experience for going through the story. they are also looking into giving retroactive experience for those that already completed the story.

I backed this on Kickstarter 2 years ago, and ended up playing maybe 2-3 hours of the game while it was in early access back in Summer of last year. I was pretty excited to get back into it when it launched for real yesterday. After watching this vid, I can't wait to keep going to get to the end game content. This will at the very least fill my needs until the new Pokemon games come out in November. Great review. Thank you.

Nicktrito

@O1OO1O1 Indeed I am. Just to confirm, once the new Pokemon came out I stopped playing Temtem completely lol

@Nicktrito have you picked it up again? would u still recommend it to me to pick it up? whats ur opinion on the game right now? me and a few friends consider picking it up together, is it worth the investment? would appreciate an answer

Nicktrito

44w

@Theo Neuologe Hey man, appreciate you reaching out. As it stands right now, I've logged about 160 hours into Temtem. The game is a lot of fun to play with friends - But the back end of the game is really really grindy, like a typical MMO would be. I ended up losing interest in the game and haven't really touched it since, and don't really have plans on going back to it either. In terms of monetary value - For the hours and enjoyment I got out of it, I would say yes, Temtem is worth the price. In terms of longstanding value - That's going to depend on the type of gamer you are. If you are down to commit hundreds of hours to a Pokemon-esque mmo (and I do mean hundreds, the end game content requires a ridiculous amount of grind time), then definitely go for it. If that grind doesn't appeal to you as much and you don't have the time to commit, then I would say probably look for a different game to play. Temtem grinding IMO is not as rewarding for me personally as Diablo grinding, or even pokemon shiny hunting, IV breeding. Like as an example, money becomes very scarce in Temtem as you play through the game. One of the biggest ways to make money is a specific tem that you need to fish for, on certain days of the week and specific times. It's very boring, but its also one of the only ways to make a lot of money - And you ABSOLUTELY need money, because unlike Pokemon you're going to be buying tons of healing items. If I were you, I'd probably youtube a video on end game temtem content and see if any of this appeals to you. You might enjoy it more than I do.

There are sooo many Pokémon clones out there, but people don't want to get invested in them, because they already are in Pokémon. Coromon, Yokai Watch, Monster Sanctuary, Nexomon and so on. People just want Pokémon, and not an actually good and innovative monster collector game.

@Sera Finiert
If i recall, most pokemon-clone games fall into the trap where they just end up playing like pokemon (get the monsters with the highest stats and spam the strongest moves for wins), which makes the players think "why don't i just play pokemon instead, which is the same thing but with more?" The TemTem devs REALLY seemed to want to avoid this at all costs by trying to make the combat as un-pokemon-like as possible, which is a good thing because it means that there's actual gameplay reason to play it AND pokemon, rather than just choose one of the same thing.

@Z0MBIEx what in the battle pass makes it P2W?

Legacy Gaming

2y↑10

Lol there is nothing P2W in the battle pass. It's all cosmetic. Additionally, if you DO purchase the premium battle pass and complete it, you get enough currency to buy the next one and so on. It's a $50 MMO, not a single player RPG, and like every MMO, it has a cosmetic cash shop to fund development and server costs. You also dont need to buy 2 versions of the same game at $50 a pop to catch every Temtem like another game I've been a fan of since I was a kid.

Same, waited 2 years to be 100% sure it would be a good game and I'm waiting for the download to finish. I don't mind paying 15e extra if it means the game releases fully and if it's a good game. Rather have that than paying 30e for a game that might not have seen the day as a full game or if it took a terrible path.

I don't like battlepasses, but those ones are cosmetic and so it doesn't really matter to me, everything else seems good enough to actually play and start the adventure.

As a HUGE Pokémon fan, I am SUPER GLAD Temtem is a thing and it's pushing Game Freak to become better. It's hillarious how amazing Temtem looks and how great it is taking in consideration they are just 20 people in the studio, then you have Game Freak, a millionaire studio who never makes their best effort and settles with the minimum one.
I certainly hope Temtem helps Pokemon get better.

Sonic

pokemon is forced to release their games within a certain time frame. they usually have about 2 years to make a game. compared to other developers that have 3+ years. thats the main issue. game freak isnt lazy doing the bare minimum

Okay I just randomly looked this game up from seeing the launch trailer. This game seems and looks fantastic. Even the designs (of everything from the monster capsules (pokeball things) to the monsters you tame) have so much personality. The open world and combat sounds like fantastic fun. There’s actual consequences and thought put into battling. All the post and end game content sounds great as well. Overall this is just fantastic to hear as someone whose completely lost hope in pokemon (with the devs constantly releasing the same thing at higher prices and twice). Plus this is on platforms I actually like. Now I just need the digimon story and world games on Xbox.

Edit: Okay free tem sounds so perfect. Its so meta and initially comedic. Its a feature that makes it feel like an actual dynamic world. Like if there was monster taming and battling in the real world. There would totally be an activist group against them, and most people would totally keep battling and only release for money. And a roguelike dungeon mode is just exactly what I’ve started looking for in literally every RPG as infinite post/endgame content

TheGamerFiles101

2y↑3

My only complaint is that each area is heavily themed for 1 temtem type. This leaves you primarily fighting and catching temtem of the same type per area until you move onto the next, and also limits access to certain types you can find until later in the game. Basically I wish areas had more temtem type variation

Legacy Gaming

2y↑1

While this is partially true, a lot of those initial monotypes evolve to become dual types and sometimes even have diverse non-stab moves available to them for further type coverage. The issue is you want to be breeding to get a base species at level 1 so you can hit one or both evolutions at timing in line with your story progression

I have to say it almost brings tears to my eyes at just how well made this game is. A game made by people who truly understood what made the Pokémon games so great and truly want to make their playerbase happy rather than tryna make a quick buck from a cheap knockoff. Try brought back so many beloved aspects and removed some of the cheaper strategies without making the game a drag. This game stands out above the rest amongst the monster catcher games next to the likes of top notch Pokémon games and the coop aspect just makes it so much better. I cannot wait to play through the entire story and all the side quests with my gf and really dive deep into the game. Well done Crema, you guys killed it with this! I literally get butterflies in my stomach with this game as I just remember some of my fondest memories playing Pokémon in my Nintendo ds many years ago

I only have about 144 hours in Temtem and I have not completed the story yet, but I 100% agree. Fantastic game.

Tiger Tony

How does it compare to Pokemon Sword and Shield

Flyx8

2y↑8

@Tiger Tony The world feels a lot bigger, the experiencie of exploration is very different, here you have to addapt to the place you are, using different tools to move, not juts a bycicle. Also the route combats are very hard, they're not there to make your team train, they're there to STOP you. Combats feel very different since it's always a 2v2, you have to be very careful about enemies since you now have to take of 8 different attacks instead of the usual 4, so yeah, sometimes you just cant swap your pokémon to hit a water one with an Electric one, because then youd die. I have only played 40 hours but I always felt like I was underlevelled, like my time could be a lot better and I just wasnt doing enough. I like the bad guys of this game, they actually feel like a threat not just beat-me guys. Going back to the world, it feels alive, NPCs are actually interesting to talk to, there are even characters whose interaction in one moment affects what you can do with them in the future. (I became an actor in a movie because I made a side quest for an NPC who is an actress).

All I can say is, if you like Pokémon, and can afford this game. Just buy it, you won't be dissapointed. I'm in fact going to delete my saved data to start from the beginning because I just wanna see what I missed.

@xenteko Give me a single reason why this is bad? ofc a company wants to make money, money helps the game to grow and gives us more content, so yes they have season passes etc, which give only cosmetic content so its not p2w in any way, and now tell me whats wrong about cosmetics for people who wanna buy them?

WhoTookMyPuddingCup ?

@xenteko you do realize the season passes are purely cosmetic, right?

Sonic

@Kaito Kid heres my coment i left as to why this game being an mmo could be considered a negative

"personally i hate the mmo aspect of this game. MMO's dont respect players times at all. why should it take me 200 hours just to make a useful team? then lets say the team i create sucks? i have to spend countless hours building them again. it's so lame man. Having to spend many hours to earn the many different types of currency or materials to create things im gonna have to make often just takes up waaaay too much time. temtem isnt the only game i want to play. i dont understand why mmo's dont seem to understand that players play other games.
and i just found out there is a freaking season pass................................... so if i didnt play 2 months ago, ive already missed exclusive content..."

@mystical being89 Dojo Wars (club battles to hold a location), Lairs (raids), Luma hunting (obtaining "shiny version of temtems), breeding, pvp, in-game tournaments, player housing I guess, trading for money, and with the last update lots of replayability at a park with 4/5 different gamemodes that give really good rewards

If you love Pokemon and wish that it was actually made it into an MMORPG, well..Good news! TemTem is it!

Peter Parker

This is Amazing. Been playing lots of pokemon violet but looking at is just too basic for me. But Temtem actually has 6 unique places to adventure too. Although they different islands dont look very big at least it has personality and character. Pokemon Violet landscape all look the same. Same tree, same rock, same cliff, same water, the buildings and the towns are different.

Phillip Collette

I watched videos about this game back when they were barely developing it and then forgot about it till just now. And then went and immediately downloaded it. I am excited to be playing the first gen of a worthy rival to Pokémon. One where my learning curve is similar to others. Not that I won't still play Pokémon, but with so many monsters that some players know inside and out; and me having to acquaint myself with each one with Pokémon Go being my starting point -> it was a daunting task. This game lets me start at square one.

Toni D.

Just a small correction: the futuristic island is Arbury with the digital tems, not cinpaku. :)
Other than that a awesome review of a really great game!
I'm in it since the kickstarter and still in it. Helped a lot of new people enhancing their fun which added additional fun for me.
Took a pause between updates at times but always came back to play more and that's something not every game can do!
Would recommend everyone to check it out and if you see somewhere "Saturi" around then feel free to chat her on if you need help. :)

only down side i have seen for now is on the shop ingame : the mount cost way to much for cosmetic, the personnal shop that change each day is expensive and only have 1 feather item and no wait to found those item if you haden t enought currency when you had acces to them. but maybe crema will modify some of that :)

Eluci

I just started in 1.0, and I'm definitely enjoying it. My only question is do they have a roadmap or have plans for other content? I understand there is plenty to do end game, but usually right after an official launch we see a roadmap of sorts

Legacy Gaming

2y↑2

They've been so busy getting to 1.0 I dont think so. Their only plans right now is a free Nuzlocke mode update and the addition of things like minigames via the arcade bar. They dont want to commit to things without knowing the numbers interested in the game long term as far as I know

Eluci

@Legacy Gaming Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I definitely hope we see more of TemTem I'm having a great time so far

Exocitus

2y↑6

I would say Temtem is worth the time, because it's good all around with neat features, but not the price right now.

The "battlepass drama" and "cosmetic shop drama" has some meaning, the game had a sucessful kickstarter campaign, they had revenue through the entire early acess, got publishing rights with humble bundle which gave them some more revenue, they raised the price on the 1.0 launch with the addition of the deluxe edition while making a multi-plat for Xbox and Switch, while not having any sales this entire time. The Battlepass with exclusive content and a premium currency (with the cosmetic shop) is a huge dissonance with everything, even if they are going after a sustainability it don't make a lot of sense of either cuting content out of the game to put it on the battlepass or hiring new people to make this exclusive content and creating the need to pay more in the long run, and mind you this game is $45, is not cheap if we compare with games like COromon and Monster Sanctuary that are only 19.99 and has online PvP too.

If the game was F2P this would be reasonable, but it's not and the game still has bugs from early acess days to this day, while they also said that they don't have any future plans for new "Tems" or Islands, even after this huge battlepass and cosmetic shop "incentive". If you look at steam people are not review bombing, they are saying what they think is true, this made the community split and be even smaller than already is, making the possibility of growing steadly more and more distant from where I'm looking at.

I follow this game since Kickstarter, played in every alpha, beta, stress test, early acess, everything, and I would not recommend this game that is following the route of many kickstarter games or even good games that try to sabotage itself by making bad decisions and going against the community just for more and more money, I hope they go back off this route and try for other solutions for the game and them I could confidently recommend this game again, for people that said so much about Pokemon they are trying to get as greed as Nintendo.

Legacy Gaming

Just a few corrections here. The battlepass items will rotate into the shop at a later date. You earn plenty of feathers ingame for a lot of cosmetics that rotate their prices. Additionally, buying and completing the battlepass nets you more currency than you spent to buy it, allowing you to infinitely chain future battlepass for free. The challenges you get from free and premium paths award you premium currency that, while pretty small amounts, easily add up over each week. While I understand you points there, it's an MMO and having a sustainable monetary model for the studio to continue producing content is necessary. These are businesses and they need to grow their staff and pay their employees. The game is also cheaper than any Pokemon game out there. With all that in mind, I personally think this uproar against paid cosmetics is ridiculous.

Exocitus

2y↑3

@Legacy Gaming As far as they stated in the discord after some players made questions about it, they said that the battlepass items will NOT rotate into the cosmetic shop, the temporary items on the cosmetic shop will rotate and can be back after a while, some players even asked for the battlepass items to get in the cosmetic shop with a different name so the battlepass would be "exclusive" named but still would be avaiable for everyone, to which they still didn't reply.

And yes, buying the battlepass gets you the next one, if you farm all the way until the end that is, and even so you still have to pay at least one time for it, while they are seasonal, so if you lost the first battlepass you will not have it again ever, creating FOMO even more for new players that don't have a lot of time to play, after all this is a casual style game and the battlepass is a heavy grind right now, even if they said that they are adjusting the XP (which we didn't see it yet).

And yes I agree that they need a monetary model for the studio, but I don't think that the P2P model is bad, they don't have a larger server capacity that they have to take care of and most games with a larger server capacity can mantain itself with a model of just the box price, No Man's Sky is one of the examples, which has a larger population and larger server capacity, while having only a box price tied to the game and being a small indie company.

The game is cheaper than any pokemon but more expansive than any Pokemon-like "clone", even if the story length is not longer and most of the "MMO" features are social feed like with the expection of 2 or 3 that are present is some of these clones too, and the only way to buy the Tamer Pass is with their premium currency "Novas", which are not exact the price of the pass, this is a tatic most know for mobile games to get players to spend more and well explained out there, the uproar is not ridiculous in the slightest, but players are so anesthetized with all this common but bad practices of the game industry that they just accept as if there is not other choice or some example of going the other way and being successful, yes they need to pay their employees but I hardly believe that finances is a problem for them right now for at least a year if you compare their sales volumes data from steam and consoles by itself, not including the paid features or even the deluxe editions (that even you had the game you can buy and could be used as a way of supporting the devs that didn't involve making a battlepass, premium currency or cosmetic shop).

Exocitus

2y↑3

And also a important point in my view about the tasks and the weekly challenges is that, like people said in discord and reddit, is that basically saying that players will be required to engage in specific tasks, and cannot truly approach the game as they choose, which is a dissonance with a casual game as a Pokemon-like as this, since this is a persistent feature it will affect players every week until they got that don't make much sense and change the approach.

Romerinho Jogatinas

@Exocitus they stated on steam the items will rotate to shop after 1 year to avoid fomo:

"We've also made some changes to Tamer Pass experience gain and added its content to the Premium Store rotation.
We wanted to re-explain that although the Tamer Pass is focused on the end-game because that's where all the repeatable activities are, it is not locked to it. We want you to feel progression during the campaign as well, and this will help bridge that jump from campaign into endgame:

🔸 We're immediately and as of now doubling the Tamer Pass experience obtained from defeating and capturing wild Tems.
🔸 With the next patch, expected in around a week, we're going to be adding Tamer Pass experience from defeating NPC trainers, so you'll enjoy more progression during the natural course of your campaign. We're also figuring out how to grant this experience retroactively, but we're not sure it'll be a success so stay tuned for updates.
🔸 We are going to be including the content of the Tamer Pass in the rotation of the Premium Store a year after it has run its original course. This means you will still be able to obtain the items if you don't manage to complete your Tamer Pass in time, only it'll have to be a little later. We still want to reward people who conquer the challenge, but want to alleviate any FOMO problem the current system is causing."

@Romerinho Jogatinas Yeah they changed and I didn't saw until today, on the launch day was like I said (and even they said, which caused FOMO, and there is the huge discussion on discord about it).

Still, all the other points still holds up.

Ok wow I wasn't expecting this game to be this BIG I just bought this game last month & I set my expectations very low because of what the main pokemon series has become (Excluding Arceus) but wow this took me by surprise I will be getting back into the game

@Rachebart‍. yes the formula has flatlined over the past gen games & the latest batch of games is unfinished & broken so yes I set my expectations low because of what pokemon has become

I've missed you.

One of the few times a kickstarter game actually delivered.

I played the latest update when it dropped. The biggest glaring issue is a horrendous economy system. The game is fun to play through, but the endgame just consists of a terribly boring grind to try and scrape pennies together to continue playing. You can play through a whole expansion, not spend a single dime, and choose if you want to be able to keep playing or buy a single clothing item

Darren Arkell

I haven’t played this since I beat the story but I’m stoked to go back and do all this. This game was great. I do wish they would add a game+ to the game where everything is just max level so you don’t need to make a new acc just to playthrough the story again.

I watched this video on Thursday and bought the game right after. It was on discount in PS Store. I’ve been hooked on this game since.

Thank you. Was debating and will now buy as you answered what I was looking for without spoilers.

I hope there is guides coming for the new endgame activities. They seem pretty hard.

Legacy Gaming

Haven't had a chance to sit down with them and record them yet, but I plan to once I get back from traveling with the family.

Played it when it just came out in an early state, will install it again, great to see how they have improved on the game

Levi Moore

This looks really good, my only issue is I don't like how the monsters themselves look, which is kinda an issue cause it's the biggest appeal of a monster catcher.

Idk if it's the art style or what, but very few of the monsters look appealing to me, as opposed to a game like pokemon where 80% of them look at least pretty decent.

Legacy Gaming

2y↑3

Yeah that's the complaint a subset of players have with the game. I personally love their designs/ art style and it actually feels like R/B or S/G generation of Pokemon for me.

Levi Moore

2y↑1

@Legacy Gaming I do like the art style, for me though, most of them look like something a pokemon fangirl on famfiction would make. Maybe it's the eyes, they give me a my little pony vibe. I'm definitely still gonna play it, because other than that it looks like a dream come true in terms of mechanics, but I really hope the few temtem I like aren't hard to get.

Andy Sanchez

I thought that too in early game, but I found some that I thought were great further into the game

Sonic

@Levi Moore yeah i felt the same way too when i played years back. but the later temtem are more edgy. But early game temtem look like oldschool fakemon. where they are too shiny and round

Dirty Tesla

Wow, I can't believe I haven't heard of this before... I cannot wait to play this. I'm buying two copies and giving one to a friend! Woo!

Wow I got this as soon as it came in early access I can't believe the ammount of content that it has now. When you started taling about the end game activities I just paralized.

Legacy Gaming

And they are still adding more endgame, Nuzlocke mode, and the minigame Arcade Bar

As someone who loved pocket Mortys this feels like exactly what I wanted it to be if they took that idea into a full pokemon game

I got the game on steam some 2years ago, got it to support a serious contender against game freak, i played it and didnt dislike it, unfortunately the art direction is not to my taste and i failed to find a single temtem i liked the same way i like pokemon.

Dwight

2y↑1

I got this game when it was new in early access. As a casual who rarely spends more than 30 hours in a game, I was fed up with Pokemon and hoped Temtem would put Gamefreak in their place. I was having a blast with Temtem up until the end of the starter location/island. Unfortunately, Temtem's mechanics seemed more elaborate than Pokemon. I'm glad to see it seems like it's possible to avoid at least some of the breeding BS with the auction house. It also dampened my view of Temtem when I saw it was injected with MMO elements/trappings like raids/passes. The Temtem endgame seems absolutely miserable to a casual like me

Although this sounds like a lot of negative, this video helps alleviate some of the concerns I had with Temtem and seeing as I already own it on Steam, I might as well give it another go. The game is immensely beautiful and the co-op is something I'd like to try even though I'd have to buy a copy for my friends

Gucci 4 president

hope they add Co-op MODES to ALL content i love going threw the story with my buddy who can only use 1 hand so games like this is perfect!

Dusty Paladin

There is actually a single non double battle in the entire game, the first battle with your rival max, the first fights in the entire game. Although it’s more a scripted you lose cutscene considering max’s temtem will either 1 shot you or if you are really lucky two shot you

It released on Switch and I wonder how this MMO will held up on the console. Quite expensive at the moment and with 4-5 giant releases that I'm going to buy within next 1-1,5 month I'll hold off till some sale.

WeeWoo

2y↑5

I had it during early access on Steam, but wanted to get it on console when crossplay came out with 1.0. I went for switch for portability and it so far is handling it great. Of course being a switch when I do dock it it looks a tiny bit rough, but that's it really. Besides one initial hiccup with the servers which affected every platform this evening (which was quickly solved) which isn't surprising on launch day, no issues since and Devs are working hard to fix issues some people may be having. Largely issues seem to be with Xbox at the moment with a lot of people saying they're missing items or button prompts.

I can say so far there is no disadvantage on switch - the story is the same, the systems and everything are fine, and you still see other people going about things fine on the overworld as usual even on other platforms.

I'm not sure what your chances are for a sale though, as as far as I'm aware it's never been on sale in the two years it's been available.

Caffrey

@WeeWoo Thanks for Switch update! I'm in no rush to wait as I have so much stuff coming out soon on Switch to play (DioField Chronicles, Trails from Zero, Bayonetta 3, Persona 5R, NieR).

Could you tell me if Temtem is fully required to have online connection to play? I know it's an MMO but I figured if someone would want to they can do single player story offline (i.e. if you're playing while travelling). Someone mentioned that you can't play while not being connected to the internet.

Adam

2y↑1

@Caffrey It does, it's online only mate.

Caffrey

@WeeWoo So there's cross play too if you see others from other platforms running around? Does it cross save as well?

WeeWoo

@Caffrey It is fully online, if I'm ever out with my switch say traveling and want to play it I plan to either mobile hotspot or use public WiFi depending on if I get a train from this century or not (woo bad rail system).

Always being online though it means you always pick up exactly from where you left off, even in the middle of battles, which is good because if you were to ever come across say a Luma (shiny) and the game crashed or you had to leave suddenly, the battle and the luma is still waiting for you when you get back and you won't have lost the encounter. It also means that hacked tems can't flood the economy or mess with things in other ways - hacked/genned Pokémon are super common these days because it's really easy to fuck with a game offline.

It's fully cross platform between all platforms, so you can see, interact with, play with, talk to and trade with everyone no matter the platform. The cross saves are working great, my main platform is steam and my secondary is switch, any progress I make on either is available to both platforms no issue, even hours after launch I didn't have an issue linking my switch and loading up my ~300hr account on it.

Played this game off and on over the last few years, I like it and love what it's going for, however I reallllly dislike the evolution methods. AKA the number of levels required to be gained AFTER the level the Tem is acquired. Really puts a slog on the starters in early game and finding a cool base stage Tem in the level 20-40 range only to find out you can't get the second stage of it until level 50-70 because it takes 30 more levels to evolve it. I understand all of that is meaningless once you hit endgame and can breed and level things efficiently but really sucks when I passed on a Tem early game only to want to try it later but have to train a level 5 one to catch up to my team instead of the one closer to my team level because it will evolve sooner. Idk if they changed that or not but I don't see myself coming back to the game if that remains a thing tbh.

Legacy Gaming

Tuwai shrines and learning aids make it possible to xp level temtem so fast that you can go from 1-100 in an hour or two, depending on the shrine, so kind of?

As a Sombra main, that hack buff was the best news I'd heard in a good minute.

Dont be a coward , just try it.

I bought the game bc i just felt like it and im enjoying it so far! Ive been looking around but how can u check where to find particular temtems in the wild using the tempedia? Kinda like looking for uncaught pkmn in the pkdex. I cant seem to find info anywhere istg i must be blind lol 😅😅😅

i am extremly addicted to this game. if you like pokemon games you will love this one

What i really disslike is the battlepass. Has no room in a game that cost this much

kao chat

it is good to find good review of the game :) still one spot that is often forgotten and that i personnaly found important is the dojo fight during the story. were pokemon you have the 2-3 first gym having 2-4 pokemon and only one type. in temtem each dojo master have a full team of 6 and even if they use mostly the 2 main type of they island ( also neat) they use other tem so you can t just roll with a mono type team :).

you forgot the poor chormeon as "cousin" of koish :)

Gaëtan Mertens

2y↑24

I just find the "difficulty" in this game a bit too grindy. It takes your poor starter to lvl 34(!) to evolve, that means that the first 2 arenas you will have to battle them with an equivalent of a poor weak little Charmander. On top of that the common npcs are strong enough so that after battling 2 of them you have to go aaalll the way back to heal your temtem... every, single, time.
The progression curve is just not enjoyable for me :/

Legacy Gaming

2y↑29

Make sure to use your temessence phial charge. It recharges everytime you head to one of those stations. Additionally, brute forcing with a starter doesnt work in this game. Type matchups and swapping temtem out mid fight is how you win, so capturing and training a diverse roster is highly recommended.

Azazel

2y↑5

Same happened to me. It makes me get burnout after fighting a few npcs.

Mr. R.R.

@Azazel are you charging your temessence phial up? throughout my entire story play, i wasn't ever really forced to go back after a few fights. you gotta make sure to have a diverse roster as well.

joshua kim

It seems to heavily promote using items more, adding value to other resources (especially the phial).

Got this on day one on series s and I love it. It brings me back to when I was a kid with my gameboy color and pokemon red/gold.

As the other reply said, there is still planned content, but they arent commiting to anything else in the future. If there is more widespread support, that may change.

Holy shit. I played TemTem way back in the day and stopped when they were still releasing the story. I cannot fucking believe they've released this much content. WOW. I cannot drop Pokemon SV fast enough.
