You’ve probably seen a few people roaming around with Oceara, a Temtem that is one of the toughest in the first Dojo. It has some incredibly high base stats in speed and special attack, as well as access to some devastating water moves. It’s a very tempting Temtem to go hunting for and does have its uses, but should you invest the time?

Temtem’s early access release doesn’t wrap up with a nice, warm hug offering clarity and closure. Instead it leaves you on a literal cliffhanger, hook-slinging your way from precipice to precipice on the way to the sweltering savannahs of Kisiwa, a to-be-released island apparently teeming with political unrest and Earth Temtems.

I’m not frustrated that the game doesn’t currently have a more concrete conclusion. Temtem signs off with carefully selected vignettes designed to show what the game has to offer in the long run: a vivid, vibrant world that will keep expanding.

We’re a bit late with this month’s Can’t Stop Playing, because we couldn’t decide. But after some discussion, there is one clear answer. Temtem, the new PC game where you catch small monsters and battle them in teams, has taken over our office this past while.

In the first few areas of Temtem, there are small rodent-like creates called Skail. They appear rather often, making it tempting to see if it could be a new member of your Temtem team. This, however, should not happen, because Skail are rather useless.

There are very few Temtem that I would consider to be a great early option to catch, but Ganki is a great option for new players. It combines both Wind and Electric types, which takes very little damage from Wind type attacks, but does have access to many moves that could prove useful in the first Dojo.

Even in its Early Access period, there are a lot of Temtem to hunt down, train, and evolve into their pumped up forms. Some evolution types work a little differently in Temtem when compared to Pok mon, and there are also Temtem with unusual methods you need to use to evolve them. To help with that effort, I’ve compiled a table with all the currently known Temtem’s evolution methods.

Temtem’s Courses, or TCs as they are also known, are how you teach moves to your Temtem that they cannot normally learn. They can be used multiple times on any compatible Temtem, but there is only one copy of each of them in the game. Some are found in specific areas, while others are rewards for completing quests.

Early access Pokemon-like MMO Temtem is battling through the rough waters that come with an online game release. The indie creature catching game overcame long login queues during its launch week. The next problem stepping onto the battlefield is a standard one for MMOs: cheaters and exploits. Crema said today that they’ve identified and banned 900 accounts that are “either a cheater or has abused exploits intentionally.”

Gears in Temtem are items that you don’t use yourself. Instead, you give them to your Temtem and they will benefit from their effects. They can augment their attacks, increase their resistance to a type, or even improve your chance to capture a wild Temtem. They’re incredibly useful, but there is usually only one of each in the game.
