<p>Crema Games has just released its monster-collecting MMO <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/temtem">Temtem</a></strong> on <a class="external" href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/745920/Temtem/">Steam early access</a>, and it’s proven to be so successful that players have <a class="external" href="https://www.kotaku.co.uk/2020/01/22/temtem-is-proving-too-popular-for-its-own-good">had trouble getting online with the game</a>. Thankfully, it would seem that things are now <a class="external" href="https://www.pcgamer.com/temtems-early-access-launch-suffers-from-bugs-and-server-disconnects/">settling down</a> after some updates, but people are still having trouble getting the game up and running smoothly – but then, isn’t that why ‘early access’ is much fun?</p>
<p>As you can see from the game’s launch trailer above, it’s all very “Pocket Monster”, complete with an anime-style aesthetic, catchy theme tune and a cast of cute beasts to collect. The key difference is that this is an MMO, which could take the whole ‘gotta catch ’em all’ concept to an entirely new level.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><span lang="en" dir="ltr">UPDATE: My numbers were totally off. It looks now like maybe Temtem will have around 90k+ players in its first day, which could be 2m+ players in its first year</p>
<p>I probably should have waited for day one to be over first huh</p>
