Crema’s creature-battling MMO Temtem shares a significant amount of common ground with the Pokémon series, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In today’s NGT, Dan Tack gives a tour of the game to Alex Stadnik, Leo Vader, and myself.

Dan barely scratches the surface (we don’t see any dungeons or battles against Temtem’s gym-leader equivalents), but it does provide a sense of what players will be up against in the early access when it goes live on PC on January 21. Most importantly, this episode highlights the power of the game’s randomized character-creation. Sure, you could carefully construct your own online persona, but we’re confident that we landed on the best possible option. Enjoy!
