MMO creature battle ’em up Temtem has hatched some particulars on what to anticipate when it hits its 1.0 launch subsequent month. A brand new trailer offers particulars on the island often known as “Tamer’s Paradise,” which hosts a bunch of challenges geared in the direction of end-game gamers.
Tamer’s Paradise has a whole lot of new battle sorts. First up is the Archtamers’ Sanctum, a gauntlet that, like a lot of Temtem, clearly pulls from its Pokémon inspiration. This time, assume the Elite 4 – you will must beat a sequence of “the most effective tamers in historical past” with out shedding to any of them.
Secondly, the island can also be house to the Grit and Draft Arenas, a form of infinite mode for both your individual Temtem staff or the most effective you may assemble from a particular randomised set. Thirdly (or fourthly, relying the way you’re counting), is a roguelite tower climb, through which you begin with only one Temtem and discover a randomised skyscraper format, gathering extra Temtem and equipment as you ascend.
Lastly, there’s the Digilair, a cooperative battle area that rewards Temtem eggs for increasing your critter assortment.
Talking of critter collections, the Safari Zone – sorry, Temsafari – is a brand new space the place wild Temtem roam in packs, on the lookout for a combat. The Temsafari will get a weekly shakeup, and different weekly actions are additionally deliberate, though the video does not specify what they’re. The identical goes for the themed seasons which can be apparently coming “each few months,” though the opening season known as “launch occasion,” appropriately sufficient.
A brand new store can also be opening for spending all these rewards you will be getting within the new modes, providing battle sources in addition to house decor.
A sequence of detailed posts made again in June gave some preliminary info on a whole lot of what confirmed up in in the present day’s trailer, though they did warn that issues could also be topic to vary. One factor to notice is that these posts clarify that Tamer’s Paradise’s numerous battle techniques are token-based, refreshing weekly except you buy extra tokens with in-universe forex to play once more. That is not talked about within the more moderen trailer somehow. Neither did it point out something on the deliberate Battle Cross that was talked about when the 1.0 launch date was first introduced.
I’ve heard many good issues about Temtem, principally by way of my fellow RPS freelance bud Cian Maher, who declared it the most effective Pokémon sport in years again in 2020. With virtually three years of early entry beneath its belt and a few strikes from Pokémon in between, it will be fascinating to see whether or not it stays that means.
Temtem will depart early entry on September sixth, and might be accessible on Steam and the Humble Video games Retailer.
