On a set of floating islands known as the Airborne Archipelago, happy humans and magnificent creatures known as Temtem live in harmony. Some people hear whispers of a nefarious organization that would rather use these animals for labor and war. Be a hero and set out to find and catch Temtem, train and foster unbreakable bonds with them, and stop this shadowy group before they can cause any harm.

After creating a character, journey across six vividly stylized islands. Temtem’s beautiful cartoony art-style and sweeping music inspire a sense of nostalgic adventure. A fully co-op campaign encourages friends to stay side by side throughout the whole game. As a massively multiplayer game, there are always other players wandering about. Join them in befriending critters soaring in the skies, rummaging through the bushes, and splashing about in ponds. After starting a respectable collection, it’s time to fight!

A deep, competitive battle system removes all random factors to ensure an even playing field. Level up, learn new abilities, find weaknesses, and exploit them. Skirmishes always play out with two Temtem on each side and up to four players can clash at once. Temtem is built for tournaments and as such has a pick-ban system. Instead of coming into each battle with a set team, players each ban one of their opponents’ Temtem so competitors must always remain adaptable.

Back in 2018 we decided to start working to make our dream a reality by developing an homage to our favorite games, but taking the opportunity to include all the features and minor changes we had always longed for.

When we started creating Temtem, we also made a commitment to always involve the community. This community commitment is something that has helped us shape our development process from the start.

We managed to successfully run a crowdfunding campaign and the community has been a part of the game ever since. We’re constantly in touch with our members, gathering feedback and new ideas to improve Temtem and create the game we’ve always dreamed about. Our community is so dedicated and has gone so far as to even name and create a couple of the Temtem creatures in the game!

Temtem was built with the competitive scene in mind. In Temtem, there’s no place for luck, so player skill is the defining factor of top players.

Battles are focused on 2v2 combat with few random elements in each attack, meaning less guesswork and more strategic thinking is needed through each encounter. Instead of a classic point system for moves we use stamina. Each move requires a different amount of stamina based on its power. If you overuse your Temtem’s stamina they will take damage for overexertion. This allows for “all-out” attack moments if you see an opportunity to finish off your opponent!

We’ve spent a lot of time building the battle system to ensure it is fair to everyone. In Temtem, you don’t need to wait for a lucky dice throw, the only thing between you and winning is pure strategy, training and outplaying your opponents.

Currently available through Steam Early Access, Temtem is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2021.
