The goal is to catch, battle and breed Temtem, take on other &#8220;tamers&#8221;, join your friends to explore a &#8220;dynamic online world&#8221;, and customise your house.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The core idea behind Temtem is to build a classic adventure game with a focus on the story campaign, but with online elements added around it (seeing other people online, interacting with them to battle, trade, or just to talk and share experiences).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>A Temtem beta stress test comes to <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/745920\/Temtem\/\">Steam Early Access<\/a> on 21st January next year and promises 20 hours of gameplay, 76 Temtem to catch and battle, and three islands to explore.

We\u2019re already registered Nintendo developers, we have a game released on Switch (Immortal Redneck), and our relationship with them is good. We\u2019re not using any patents or copyrights from any other company, everything in Temtem is made from scratch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Also, there are a lot of games heavily inspired by Nintendo titles on Switch and DS &#8212; Brawlout (Super Smash Bros), Jump Ultimate Stars (Super Smash Bros), Wargroove (Advance Wars), Oceanhorn (Zelda), Blossom Tales (Zelda), Crystal Monsters (Pok\u00e9mon)&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>TPCI is known for their takedowns but they\u2019ve only taken down games using their IP and designs and, like we said, we\u2019re not using any of those.
