I understand this falls off a bit towards the endgame - will get to this in the due course. If I'm not mistaken, this is the only game in the genre with such a full-fledged and well implemented co-op story. I started playing this game with my wife (shoutout to Princess High) and we had a blast doing the story and strategizing together. Really, can't stress this enough, the game looks and feels like a proper, commercial title with big game-studio money, not a passion project kickstarter.Ĭo-op was a big draw for me. Every other monster catcher game I've played still has that indie feel to it, but Crema has somehow succeeded in making TemTem feel like any other AAA title in terms of overall quality and design. This truly feels like a professional competitor to Pokemon. The map design and music is top notch too. I'd take anime-style flashy animations over the alternative, any day of the week. Of course, it's kind of funny when you have the over-the-top Psychic Collaborator animation go off only to deal 10% of the opposing Tem's HP, but this is still a good thing to me. It's small details here that I think really add to the overall quality, like how the controller vibrates during the high-impact portion of some big animations. The flashyness and magnitude of some skills really feel satisfying. Would definitely like to give a particular shout out to the animations. The animations, temtem design, evolutions, UI/UX, lumas, and cosmetics all feel so premium. While they all have redeeming points in their own right, TemTem's aesthetic, music and graphics blow most of them out of the water. I've played every Pokemon generation, many rom hacks, Coromon, Nexomon and Monster Sanctuary. Starting off, the overall quality and polish of this game is off the charts. So it's quite crazy to me that I've somehow racked up 500 hours with this schedule in a meager 2 months. I end up binging it (10+ hours) during the weekends. ![]() As a person with a 80-hour week corporate job, I pretty much only have the evenings to really invest into TemTem, though I've been playing it on and off even during work - I'm literally that hooked. I started playing TemTem rather recently, only around 2 months ago. That's fine - this is my personal love letter to the devs for making a game that I've enjoyed so much. At the outset, I am acutely aware that my sentiments in this post probably will not align with most of the community here.
