Pokemon-inspired RPG Temtem gets Switch & Xbox release date after early access
Temtem has spent a hefty amount of time in early access fine-tuning its gameplay and developers Crema now clearly feel it’s the time to release their Pokemon-inspired game to the world on major platforms including Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
A few games have borrowed ideas and core principles from the ultra-successfulPokemonfranchise before, but few have gone to such extreme lengths to pretty much clone it. But Temtemhas done that, and not only have the devs tried to embrace previous Pokemon criticism to avoid those mistakes here, but they have actually managed to give the game its own identity.
As a result, the game is now ready and is gearing up for its full launch later on in 2022.
