We asked Andrades to elaborate on the difficulties of porting to Nintendo’s hardware. These online functions seem like a tall task to manage on the Switch. “We’ve changed almost every system and iterated them a lot to ensure our goal with competitive battles is met.” Image: Crema All tamer battles in Temtem are two-on-two, adding a layer of strategy for which opposing Tem to attack and when, there are no random factors such as Critical Hits and Freeze chances, and there is also a stamina system for attacks. We’ve always pushed for a more competitive and skill-based approach for PvP battles, we’ve removed all the random factors from them,” Andrades elaborated. “Another huge focus for us has been in the competitive battles. Temtem aims for a much more seamless approach to player interactivity. There are no link cables here to fiddle with, or menus to open to turn on online functionality. This streamlines every multiplayer activity and the interactions you can do with the rest of the players, and impacts your whole experience with the game.” “In Temtem you are always in that online world everyone else that is playing too. "We’ve changed almost every system and iterated them a lot to ensure our goal with competitive battles is met."Īndrades emphasises that it is this online functionality that sets Temtem apart from similar monster-battling adventures.
Add in co-op with friends, player housing, and competitive player versus player battles, and the amount of content Crema has packed in for Temtem’s launch ensures early adopters won’t lack for things to do. A wealth of customization options set players’ appearances apart from one another in its fully online world.

A full story campaign along with a healthy amount of side quests promise to keep players engaged when exploring the Airborne Archipelago where Temtem takes place. Currently, there are over 160 obtainable Temtem with their own colourful designs and animations. Indeed, Temtem raised nearly $600,000 USD on Kickstarter, which has led to a wealth of features being added. “The Switch port has always been in our heads, ever since we started Temtem, so luckily we were prepared and didn't face an impossible scenario, but Temtem has been growing a lot over the years and it has become a massive game with a lot of content and different features.” The humble, ageing little Switch celebrated its fifth birthday back in March and hardcore Nintendo fans await some word - any word - of a more powerful successor, we thought it prudent to ask how the game is stacking up on Switch compared to the more powerful hardware it was developed for. “There were a lot of sacrifices and there were a lot of difficulties in bringing Temtem to Switch,” said Game Director Guillermo Andrades via email.
Lucky for us Nintendo fans, Madrid-based developer Crema confirmed that the monster-battling MMO will also land on the Switch on 6th September with its 1.0 launch across all platforms. First announced back in 2018 before dropping onto Steam Early Access in 2020 and later PS5, Temtem garnered a lot of well-deserved attention as a worthy challenger to Pokémon’s tried-and-true formula, with a focus on developing the online social and competitive elements of Game Freak's series.
