Temtem - WHY I don't play it
2 years ago
Here's why I'm not bothering with "Temtem". (Not to be hateful or judgemental in anyone's taste in video games, of course.)
#1: Too bland for a "Pokemon" clone
Maybe if it was something that had more to it, than just some pokemon clone, like something that contained custom fusions or custom mutations? I'd spend my money on a copy. Even to the point where I'd only be willing to try it, if it was free. (And I'm not talking about "freemium", either!)
#2: Ugly humans
When it comes to the artwork of "Pokemon"? Humans actually look decent.
When it comes to a more western art style? I don't mind that, but come on, folks; the humans look UGLY, in comparison; even more so than miis, and even going far enough to make live-action Freddy Kreuger look HANDSOME, in comparison!
#3: It tries to be TOO MUCH like "Pokemon"!
With a world that feels too much like a generic pokemon ripoff? It makes me think of "Dogmons"; the terrible Brazilian cartoon rip-off of "Pokemon".
With franchises like "Digimon", "Medabots", "Yo-Kai Watch", and even "Jade Cocoon", not only is there some more distinct gameplay, but also a much more distinct FEEL to the creatures, involved!

In other words? Here's how I see it.
If you HATE the "Pokemon" franchise? Feel free to check this out.
If you LOVE the "Pokemon" franchise? Don't bother; you'd be FAR better off with a REAL Nintendo Virtual Boy! (That way, you can fix it's problems, just like what someone did, with the "Real Boy" mod, on YouTube! Not to mention that most of the games sold within it's official commercial lifespan ACTUALLY DON'T SUCK!)
That's all I can say about it.
