Temtem started its life as many other games have lately, on Kickstarter. It was a major success that garnered over 800% of their original humble goal of $70,000. The game is clearly inspired by Gamefreak’s Pokemon series, and promises to be a “massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure.” Promising on their Kickstarter that the days of solo adventure are over:

“The days of traveling solo are over; in Temtem the world is a massively multiplayer one. Tamers from around the world can join and you will be able to see them around you, living the adventure with you and fighting to become the best Temtem tamer. Chill with strangers, make new friends and battle them or trade your goodies; the dynamic online world is full of possibilities.”

This is one of those games where the developer makes a promise and makes good on it in short order. Having only launched its campaign in July, the alpha is already available for backers. In fact, if you pledged at least $30 to their cause you can jump in if you’ve received your alpha key. If you haven’t seen it yet, check their official twitter here for instructions. Though, as with all games in Early Access, not all of the game’s features are available just yet, which includes the monsters.

“Temtem is a challenging game, don’t hesitate to use your items if you’re in trouble,” the devs at Crema wrote in a Kickstarter update to backers. “There’s no tutorials yet on the Alpha.

Temtem is promised for release on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in the future. The Alpha is only available for PC via Steam. However, if you donated enough to get into the Alpha, you will also get a Steam key to participate.
