A game that would be referred to as something inspired from Pokemon. Possibly labelled a copy. However, it is something more than that. Created by people who grew up loving Pokemon and when you dive deep into the game you will realize how creative it actually is.

The basic concept of the game is as you would expect. You have to collect, train and battle with small creatures. Just to add to it all, it's online and you can play with friends. In this game, these creatures are termed es Temtems. You are basically a trainer and you can be sure to find all common things like Temtem’s evolving or there being a Pokedex (termed as TemPedia) and whatnot. Surprisingly, it is very similar how this game and a Pokemon game would start where you are granted your first ‘creature’.

Nonetheless, where does this game stand out on its own? It’s how they have perfected the game into a perfect online multiplayer unlike the relatively negligible features Nintendo used to add into its games. Playing Temtem feels like you are in a truly open world game where you would come across unknown players throughout the map. Interact, trade or add them as friends. There is even a housing system loaded with customizations.

The battle system for Temtem takes it to a whole new level. Most battles aren’t 1v1 rather 2 people team up to face another 2. Each of the member’s top 3 Temtems partake in the battlefield. Also, rather than moves having a limit to be used, there is a stamina bar with each move consuming a certain amount of stamina. In case you are out of stamina, it actually takes away your health to apply a certain move. This feature and how co-op works adds another dynamic of teamwork and strategy to the game.

If you are new to Temtem or want to start out with the best creatures to help you progress faster, be sure to check Eldorado.gg where you can purchase creatures for extremely low prices from authorized sellers like the Temtem being sold here. Overall, the thing that is special about the game is it achieves something Nintendo wasn’t able to single handedly. It replicates a version of Pokemon made for the online community executed at its best.
