When all is said and done, Temtem is far more than its inspirations. Though it stumbles occasionally, the game offers an experience that even the most grizzled Pokémon fan will enjoy while also building up a new world for fresh players to marvel at. It’s a must-play and a strong showing of what could be a major series moving forward.

Temtem may look like a copycat on its surface, but its deviations from the Pokémon formula pay off considerably. With unique battling elements and an engaging MMO structure, Temtem evolves as its own experience and offers a vast, challenging adventure that even those without a Nintendo console can enjoy.

Crema has developed an over-the-top and fantastic title that should not be missing from a genre fan's collection.

En definitiva, TemTem es una compra obligatoria para todo fan del género, Crema Games ha creado una aventura absolutamente genuina. Una experiencia que ofrece al jugador mucho contenido, con multitud de criaturas de cazar y un combate muy interesante, más estratégico. Su argumento es original y visualmente muy colorido, ofreciendo una experiencia cercana al anime. En líneas generales nos encontramos ante un rival digno de Pokémon, que sin duda sacar a relucir algunas de sus carencias y demuestra que hay vida más allá de GameFreak con una propuesta sólida, con carisma propio y una esencia única.

Knuddeliges Monster-Fang-MMO, das ”Pokémon”-Konzepte sinnvoll erweitert und sich dabei seine eigene Identität bewahrt.

Insomma, se siete appassionati del genere vi consigliamo di immergervi in questa nuova avventura. Può essere divertente anche per i novizi, ma alcune dinamiche potrebbero essere più frustranti del solito (come i troppi combattimenti ravvicinati). Chissà, magari un giorno riuscirete a conquistare tutti i Dojo ed essere gli Allenatori più temuti al mondo…

Temtem es un juego enorme y ambicioso, un proyecto que claramente ha sabido entender las peticiones de la comunidad del monster taming: tiene una agradable base audiovisual y un contexto narrativo lo suficientemente interesante como para poder enmarcar en ellos unas pulidas mecánicas de captura, entrenamiento y, sobre todo, combate con temtem. Todas las posibilidades que ofrece convierten al juego en un lugar al que nunca parar de acudir para disfrutar de sus bondades, uno de esos títulos a los que siempre apetece volver a sabiendas de que va a haber contenido esperándonos. En la orilla contraria de su profundo sistema de combate y la magnífica dirección artística, que son sus puntos fuertes, nos encontramos con hilos sueltos como un desaprovechado componente multijugador, la falta de modo sin conexión o la presencia de pases de batalla y mircopagos que no molestan demasiado, pero existen. A nivel general, es una propuesta sólida, con carisma y pulida a un nivel muy profesional.

Temtem is a unique yet familiar take on the monster-collecting genre. Its blend of MMO mechanics gives it the potential for a long-running, sustainable community with more to enjoy than a single-player narrative. The new combat mechanics are a fantastic upgrade. However, the Tems themselves and the overall lack of guidance aren’t quite up to standards. Tems aren’t that memorable themselves and many of their names just don’t click. Having no guidance on typing, advantages, or explanations on a number of smaller features drops the enjoyment of gameplay. It’s a great experience, but it expects you to already have a certain amount of knowledge of both genres before picking up the controller.

With its online implementation and improved strategic combat, there are certainly appealing qualities to Temtem, but its entrenched ties to old-school Pokemon prevent it from blossoming into something greater. It isn’t redefining what we already know, so for those simply looking for another Pokemon-like experience who just wanna catch ‘em all, this one might be a good fit.

Temtem è forse uno dei migliori Pokécloni in circolazione. Sicuramente è il più ambizioso, con un forte accento su una componente MMO inedita per la serie da cui prende ispirazione. Ciò detto, per quanto il gioco sia sicuramente stato sviluppato con competenza, rimane inevasa la domanda: perché scegliere un Pokéclone quando esiste Pokémon? A meno che non siate privi di una Nintendo Switch, non ci sono veri motivi per preferire Temtem. La formula di gioco è la stessa, ed il gioco perde qualsiasi occasione (o quasi) per proporre qualcosa di nuovo rispetto a Pokémon, o anche solo per migliorare la storica formula. Peccato, perché prendendosi qualche rischio sarebbe potuto risultare più fresco e avere qualcosa di davvero unico da proporre.

Temtem may look like a copycat on its surface, but its deviations from the Pokémon formula pay off considerably. With unique battling elements and an engaging MMO structure, Temtem evolves as its own experience and offers a vast, challenging adventure that even those without a Nintendo console can enjoy.

Crema tiene trabajo por delante y pueden estar muy orgullosos del trabajo que están haciendo, ya que la experiencia en PlayStation 5 es sólida. No hay caídas, no hay fallos, no hay flecos. Algo que, aunque pueda sonar sorprendente, no es tan común en los tiempos que corren.

Overall, Temtem is a fine alternative to other monster-collecting games with plenty to do. The balance can be a bit troublesome, but that may vary from person to person. However, it offers enough differences to be unique, with its default two-on-two battles and mechanics adding variety to each fight. Plus, playing with friends is easy and a blast.

Temtem shakes up the Pokémon formula in several ways, yet is held back by poor pacing and a world that needs more things to discover and do.

Temtem’s disappointing, because it promised to be so much. In a genre that has been so utterly dominated by one particular property, and then lightyears back to the nearest rival, here was a game that seemed like it had the ambition and scope to actually rival Game Freak’s giant on its home turf. Unfortunately the result is more akin to the more egregious MMOs – a waste of time that exists to be a waste of time.
