Temtem review: a Pokemon-like that listens to what fans want


Temtem’s inspiration has always been clear. We didn’t beat around the bush when it entered early access back in 2020 - Cian Maher called it the best Pokemon game in years - and I won’t beat around the bush now. It’s still the best Pokemon game in years. It borrows so much from Nintendo's behemoth, but it also takes some much-needed lessons that Game Freak fails to recognise, taking the formula to its highest evolution yet.

Temtem devs address its premium battle pass controversy


Monster-taming MMO Temtem just launched out of early access on PC earlier this week, but developers Crema have taken to Discord to defend the game’s paid battle pass. Some players have been getting themselves very worked up over the inclusion of a paid pass in a full-priced game. Yet there’s been a plan to include a battle pass in Temtem for years. Check out the game’s launch trailer below while you wrap your head around it all.

Deluxe edition & bundles now available + changes to Tamer Pass exp and rotation

[h3]The Deluxe edition is now available as an upgrade![/h3]

You can now grab these cool, exclusive sets of cosmetics and new emotes.



You can upgrade your base game from the Store Page, or through this link.

The full OST and digital Artbook are also uploaded on Steam now! If you really like Temtem and want to save a bit, there's now the Temtem Premium Bundle, which includes the Deluxe edition, the Artbook and the OST all together!
Take a look at it here.

[h3]We've also made some changes to Tamer Pass experience gain and added its content to the Premium Store rotation. [/h3]
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.

We are still investigating and looking into experience gains. We've looked at all your posts and your math and are tweaking numbers around to make it so it feels better and is more enjoyable to you. Thank you for your patience until we really nail it!

[h3]Current issues are being investigated[/h3]
We're investigating any and all current bugs including black screens, Kudos not appearing properly and Novas showing different pricing in store and in-game for some regions. Twitch Drops are slowly but surely reaching players, so that they'll get to you. Please use our forums to report any bug you might be experiencing so the team is aware of it. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we handle the release.

Talk to you soon! Hope you're enjoying Temtem 1.0!
