Temtem, a competitive creature collecting MMO by Crema, the creators of Immortal Redneck, will be coming to Steam Early Access on January 21st, 2020.

Players can currently sign up for an early server stress-test on Temtem's website.

Temtem is finally launching on steam and discord for early access which means everyone can finally play. For those that don't know, Temtem is monster taming and battling game (like Pokemon) that is being built around multiplayer and the competitive aspect that people wish pokemon leaned more heavily into. All battles are 2v2, and there is no "miss chance" when it comes to moves. Instead each move uses stamina and some more powerful moves can't be used on the first turn. If you run out of stamina during a battle, your tem will injure itself. You can rest during a turn or use an item to regain stamina. You can play the entire story mode in co op or alone, competitive battles have a pick/ban phase, and there's tons of customization.

IGN just put up a post about the game which you can find here. You can also sign up to help stress test the servers before early access is live here. If you do choose to stress test, be warned that they are wiping progress before the EA launch, however once it does launch there will be no more wipes. Finally there is a new gameplay overview video which is posted below.

I backed this and played a few hours of the Alpha. It has a lot of potential and is pretty fun.

I particularly like some of their twists on the traditional Pokemon battle mechanics.

this doesn't look to be my thing unfortunately

How far ahead is the alpha? I could jump on it but Im tempted to wait until its full release
The big alpha patch to get ready for EA is sometime this month. It'll be everything that is included in the release. However progress from before the launch of EA will be wiped, so you may just want to wait so you don't lose progress.

Not a bag fan of double battles being the main style in this game.

I like a pure one on one or three vs three in my monster games. I like supporting the genre though so I'll definitely give it a shot tho.

Cool, glad we got a solid date for EA! I enjoyed the alpha updates they've put out so far, can't wait to see what they launch EA with.

I don't like the name but the game looks pretty cool. I'll give it a try if the price is right since Pokemon Switch really bummed me out

To start with there will be 161+ monsters. Campaign length were not sure of since it's not all released yet, however there will be 6 islands in the game and right now there are only 2 in the alpha and they take a pretty long time to get through. Islands aren't just towns, there are multiple towns on each island and the islands are different biomes basically.

I backed this because i thought it would be some kind of pokemon game, and competition is good.
Played the alpha a bit when it came out, and realized that its everything i dont like about Pokemon and have not touched it since.

Depending on when they played, there wasn't a lot of content for a while. Only one island, one dojo (gym), no competitive battles, no breeding. So once you got to a certain point there wasn't much else to do. They've since added a bunch of stuff and are only adding more.

I've really been looking forward to this, after being disappointed with Pokemon Sun/Moon and Sword/Shield looking like it has all the same problems I had with that, exacerbated.

I am very interested in how this turns out. It looks decent but at the same time most of the designs do very little for me.

I have always thought that an MMO Pokémon would not work.

And after watching TemTem gameplays and trailers I still think the same but well, maybe it surprises.

I would be interested in it without the Stamina system. Don't like that aspect at all.

I'm cautiously optimistic for this game. I almost got it on Discord but decided against it. Depending on the price, I may finally dip in during Early Access.

Would like to try this. Was just looking at another Pokémon style game on PC, Disc Creatures.

Now, this I've never heard of. How did this completely fly under my radar. I wonder if it's any good.

Interesting, do you mind expanding on the last bit some more? As someone disappointed in SwSh, I need a Pokemon fix and impressions like this kinda worry me about TemTem.

What disappointed you about SwSh? Besides the dex cut I'm assuming. Whether or not you like Temtem (opinions on monster design withstanding) depends on what you want out of a game like this and pokemon imo.

Definitely in once it hits switch.

I remember when Etika played this game a bit and the devs actually added him in.
