Not to be confused with Australian biscuits
If you’ve spent the past two decades fantasising about enslaving wild creatures to do your bidding, boy howdy, do I have good news.Temtemis a Pokemon-inspired MMO for PC that came out on early access yesterday. Everything you know and love from the Pokemon games you were never allowed to play is here. Gyms are dojos, trainers are tamers, and your menagerie of adorable fighting beasts use elemental attacks in turn-based battles. It is Pokemon with synonyms and multiplayer. You might like that.

It really is the same formula. You pick one of three starting Temtems, then head out and explore three floating islands (six once the game’s done) while taming wild Temtems and picking fights with other tamers. There are ostentatious baddies up to something nefarious, too.
I spotted my bee in vidbud Astrid’s look at theTemtemalpha last week. She was generally pleased, though did find parts of it a little grindy.
