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.

Entodrive
Entodrive is a Pokemon-like adventure that I’ve grown fond of over my 3+ hours of playing. The one person development team is very active, with weekly updates indicating what was added/changed, as well as what is in store for the next update. As the community is relatively small, any feedback you have will be read and considered as part of future development, it’s a fun experience!
The game is still in an alpha state and is enjoyable as-is. It’s well worth the price if you are prepared going in that there are unfinished aspects to the game, and crashes will happen from time to time. Thankfully the game has a robust save system and is very quick to boot up and resume your progress. I also enjoy the music a lot.

幻灵岛(Fantasy Sprite Island)
Fantasy Sprite Island
Fantasy Sprite Island is a collection of spirit capture training, home construction, copy adventure and other business development type of game. In the game, players can set up spirit teams to conquer different areas of the magic island, discover and unlock different function points on the island. Build your own home and arrange for elves to do different jobs. You can also try leisure games, or training incubation, cultivate powerful elves, and finally challenge the endless city and eternal arena.
- Form a spirit
In the first version of the game, there are more than 100 kinds of spirits in different shapes, which live in various areas of the island. Elves of different races have their own race value, skill pool and talent pool, so some of them are good at fighting, some are good at entertainment, and some are good at work… Reasonable arrangement and management of them for different work or combat combination will get better effect.
- Spirit skills
The elves in the island will get a chance to learn skills every ten levels. They will randomly choose two skills from their skill pool to learn. Of course, in addition to their own race pool, elves can also learn the learnable skills of this attribute through skill books.
- Spirit reproduction
The spirits in the magic island can reproduce across races. Just choose two opposite sex spirits to reproduce. The offspring will be randomly selected from the parent race. The attributes of the spirits will be based on the random attributes of the parent race. At the same time, they may inherit the random skills of the parent race. That is to say, the offspring can acquire cross race and cross attribute skills through heredity. There are other special conditions in reproduction, please look forward to it.
- Spirit equipment
Each spirit can carry a piece of equipment, which has its own characteristics. It’s not just a simple attribute increase or decrease. Carrying the appropriate equipment will greatly enhance the strength of the spirit.
- Random copy
There are all kinds of elves, replica facilities, props, traps, etc. randomly distributed in the replica. Conquering the replica will get a lot of rewards. In addition to 5 limited copies, 2 endless copies will be unlocked after customs clearance. At the same time, the first copy can also unlock the island’s resource points, mysterious shops and other functional buildings.
- Island Construction
By building various functional buildings on the island, we can arrange elves to engage in refining, training, incubation, entertainment, guarding and other work, or to resist emergencies. Of course, you can also unlock the resource points on the island through the adventure copy of customs clearance, and arrange the elves to collect the resources and treasures on the island. These resources are also the basic raw materials for refining various treasures.
- Home facilities deployment
You can freely arrange the location of the home buildings. In the middle and later stages of the game, you can also get many decorative buildings from the treasure and entertainment center to decorate your home. Of course, the deployment of these decorative buildings will make the elves on the island happy and get various kinds of bonus.
- Production and integration of props
After the players build a Research Institute on the island, they can arrange the elves to produce various props automatically by consuming different materials. They can also fuse the surplus props to produce new props.
- Entertainment Games
When players build an entertainment center on the island, they can carry elves to play entertainment games. Of course, choosing the right elves to play the right game will get more attribute bonus, and the game will be simpler. The token obtained through the small game can also be exchanged for special reward props.
- Training ground exercise
When players build a training field, they can arrange the elves for training. With the passage of time, the Elves will get experience value, and special training can also be arranged, which will enable the elves to get the training value of attributes, so that the elves can grow more personalized.
- Place type monster invasion resistance
When players build sentries and deploy guard elves, they can detect the impending invasion of monsters (random events) in advance. The elves in sentries will fight with them automatically (or take the initiative to fight). After victory, they will get rich rewards.
- Eternal arena and endless City challenging the limit
When the player passes the last copy on the island, the eternal arena will be unlocked to challenge the limit of the spirit’s fighting power! Of course, in addition to the eternal arena, the two infinite copies that are finally unlocked are also the places where the comprehensive ability limit of the spirit team is challenged. With the increase of the number of layers, the rewards of the copies are getting better and better, and of course, the difficulty is also getting higher and higher!
- Seasonal weather change
The weather on the island changes every day. The change of the weather will be affected by the season, and the different weather will also have a certain impact on the fight of the elves.

Nuumonsters
The game is very enjoyable from the peaceful soundtrack to the ping you get from catching a new monster. Keeping in mind its early access somethings could be made clearer, like for example perhaps in the pause menu a place where you can see the controls, or perhaps adjusting the dialog from some NPCS made easier to understand, For those who don’t know how to think. For the price of roughly $22, id say its worth it, the game currently has 20ish monsters to catch and Nyanko (Dev) has already pushed out a large number of fixes for bugs that the very welcoming and active community report in the games discord page. All and all if your looking fun, peaceful game to take your time on and enjoy with minor challengers, then this may be the game for you.
– Real player with 30.6 hrs in game
Neumunsters is a game that is very charming because of the design of its monsters and surroundings. The game also shows a lot of potential with all of the planned content. Nyanko also patches a lot of bugs really quickly and tries to add new stuff as soon as possible which is quite astonishing if you consider that they make by themselves. I personally would say that the game is worth its current price explicitly if you consider that it will get more content over time.

Echo of Ayllu
This is a well balanced TCG!! It still on open beta so I think it will greatly improve!
Is FTP and has serveral game modes! Draft, Mirror, Reversal and you can practice VS an IA that also has some premade decks that you can check out.
It will take a bit of learning at the beginning since the mechanics are innovative.
An interesting feature is the possibility to chat with your rival in a comic-like fashion trough pop up text bubbles.
Has some bit of MTG, Eredan or Heartstone in it but in a complete different fashion.

Buen juego, diferente a otros TCG, hay que tomar en cuenta la tactica y estrategia para ganar.
After playing several hours, I can say that the mechanics feel quite similar to Urban Rivals, but with more tactics, if you liked that game, this is yours.
