In the past we have seen interesting proposals that will come soon as DokeV, but one of the most surprising and that is just around the corner is Temtem, a Pokemon Spanish by Crema Games studio and that he has recently opened his beta through Steam.
Temtem: consoles, release date and early-access for January 2020
Temtem has already confirmed some important news about its distribution. First, since Crema Games have confirmed Temtem versions for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and, of course, Temtem will also arrive on Nintendo Switch. Of course, the console versions will not be finished until 2021, which will be when the sponsors obtain their redeemable password.
However, PC players will be able to enjoy it in 2020 and, in fact, its early access version starts this January 21, 2020. Of course, we talk about a game that has not been completed and whose status is premature, but will be updated frequently with new content.
What can we see in the advance test? Will be available approximately 50% of the story content, three different islands, cooperative mode, player customization, breeding, competitive rules with selection and prohibition of battles, etc. Of course, developers will have the opportunity to correct many title bugs, perform server stress tests, etc.
A Spanish Pokémon financed in Kickstarter
We cannot deny that Pokémon is still a millionaire formula that drags a lot of fans around the world but, in the same way, we cannot deny that a part of the community is unhappy with the latest episodes. But whether they are satisfied or not, the truth is that Pokémon players want to see a great advance in video games of the genre and do not have to be led by GameFreak. Another similar project can take the baton and therefore They want to see success projects similar to Pokémon.
This explains the success in financing Temtem, a project that has had the support of the players from the outset. The game was presented in a campaign of collective financing through Kickstarter, with a concept and a visual aspect that amazed Pokémon fans. For this reason, he quickly achieved his fundraising objective: they asked for $ 70,000 and managed to raise $ 573,939 from 11,716 sponsors.
What is Temtem? The Pokémon-style MMO with lots of options
Pokemon fans have been asking for years an MMO type title and now this is what Temtem offers. It is a multiplayer title of collecting and managing creatures that, of course, we can improve, evolve and fight in combat. The players will try to become the best Temtem tamers; exploring a world composed in principle by six islands. In this archipelago you can find many new species to capture by means of letters.
Temtem is an MMO
In this world coaches / tamers can fight against other tamers, commercial or exchange Temtem, defeat the Clan Belsoto (a kind of Team Rocket) that tries to dominate the islands, beat the Dojo leaders (gym leaders) … Yes, we are talking about a title inspired by Pokémon, but with some advances that the GameFreak license does not present – despite being made by a small Madrid studio.
The Temtem, creatures that live in harmony with humans
Like the Pokémon, the Temtem live mostly in harmony with humans, although these try to capture and seal them on cards. It is specifically a tradition, to tame wild Temtem and train them to fight friendly battles against other tamers. Of course, there are several types of Temtem – specifically 12 types – each belonging to an element with Your weaknesses and strengths. Each Temtem can have up to two types, but the techniques can only have one type.
These are the types of Temtem: Neutral, Fire, Water, Nature, Electric, Earth, Mental, Wind, Digital, Fight, Crystal and Toxic. In his shared skill chart in the financing campaign we see how, for example, fire has twice the damage to the plant or that the wind is strong against toxic.
Tamers may carry up to six Temtem in their squad, being able to fight two at the same time, so we are facing 2 vs. 2 battles. They are turn-based battles just like Pokémon, so players choose their attacks and Pokémon execute them in order, depending on factors such as the type of attack, speed, the possibility of being affected by another attack, etc.
The types of Temtem
It has also been confirmed a breeding system of Temtem, to get eggs, inheriting statistics from their parents and thus creating, little by little, perfect temper. Of course, it will not be unlimited: each Temtem will have a genetic degradation value that will decrease every time a new egg is produced, so it can only be reproduced a specific number of times. Of course, there will be a system of evolution of the Temtem, transforming physically and affecting power.
Story mode, multiplayer and great customization
It has been confirmed that players will have in Temtem A complete story mode that will take you on the six islands known as Deniz, Arbury, Omninesia, Cipanku, Tucma and Kisiwa. The objective is to collect the Temtem and fight against the Belsoto Clan, which plans to take control of the archipelago. Of course, the story unfolds in a massive multiplayer world, which means that we continually see people in our adventure. This will allow us to make friends or fight against other tamers, in addition to seeing towns and roads full of life.
But this will also have its advantages: Temtem's story mode will be fully compatible with the cooperative game, being able to join forces with a friend at any time. In that case each character will control a Pokémon in the dual battles.
Create your own house in Temtem
But also the game will be fully customizable: We can buy our own house and decorate it, as if it were a kind of Animal Crossing. Buy and change furniture, wall panels, etc. The tamers will be organized in neighborhoods and all the houses can be visited. In addition to the house, tamers can wear a completely customizable look, from the color of the hair to the clothes we want to wear.
