Great Great potential but disappointing implementation and execution. 3/5 rating. 2 biggest flaws, 1st main character model looks like a morph/spore child no matter how you customize it its always ugly unoriginal and disappointing especially in comparison to enemy models which are almost all better in appearance than the main character.2nd battle controls are spread to completely different sides of the screen making selecting your opponent then attack feel like a chore instead of fun. overall aesthetic is good i doesn’t have to look expensive or fancy but it needs to be more user friendly with functions the skill implementation is really cool but needing to change which ugly body part your using just to have the skill as well as the body parts not giving any difference in stats seems pointless and once again making it a chore. i would still recommend this game to people looking to see what huge potential it has and drawing interest to it.

Temtem

Temtem

I’ve played over 600 hours of Temtem and read through some of the reviews today and like most games with thousands of reviews think there’s some valid feedback and some not valid feedback and I figured I’ve play enough to give an adequate opinion.

PvP is the best part of this game and is one of the best turn-based strategy game I have ever played. Unfortunately, you (as of today) need to complete the story and grind very heavily in order to be able to sufficiently access this. In competitive matches, you have a team of 8 temtem and go through a draft/ban phase before the start of a match and end up battling opponents with 5 of your 8 tems. You and your opponent each get to ban a tem, then pick your two tems to lead (battles are 2 vs 2 at all times) then each get to ban another tem, and then draft 3 more. This phase alone requires quite a bit of strategy as you need to quickly be able to read counters to your team, and draft effective opposition to your opponents picks, and also means you have to have a well rounded and thought out team. Simply picking the best tems in the game or best tems on your team in a draft usually isn’t enough; you need well thought out win conditions, strategies, and tems that synergize with one another to accomplish shared goals get you there.

To be fair, I shouldn’t compare this game to Pokémon, but it honestly does so much stuff better than most games from that series, SPECIALLY when it comes to combat mechanics, it trully makes me think a lot more about my overall team composition instead of focusing in each individual creature, plus you can fully customize moves at any time if you need to experiment and all. And most important of all: no RNG in combat, thanks goodness.

I have yet to reach the endgame, but I currently am on the 4th island of the game, and seems to be a pretty good game overall.

I downloaded the demo and I liked it a lot, so I bought the game. When I installed and started the game over, I got a surprise. When I used the first key I obtained, a message popped up saying that I wanted to keep playing, I had the buy the game as this was the end of the demo. So, I liked it but I didn’t get to play it.

In response to the developer:

Hang on second. It wasn’t just a message. The game would not let me continue. You should tell everyone that if they play the demo, they will have to wait until you fix it before they can play the full game.
