We adore the Pokémon series at K-Zone, but what do you play when you’re between Pokémon games? Temtem! Pokémon clearly inspired it. Like, it’s got the same ‘gotta catch ’em all’ gameplay where you collect creatures and battle to be the ultimate tamer. But we love the differences. Online co-op play is top with mates (remember to stay online safe). And stacks of side quests. Plus, tweaks to turn-based tussles for tighter tactical tricks. Like stamina instead of PP. So during battles, each Temtem critter has set stamina. Toss out smaller moves to save sweet stamina, or go all out on a stamina-sapping super strike. Basically, don’t just spam moves. Take your time to stack the best attacks. Natch, Temtem isn’t all about battling. Explore this awesome airborne archipelago. These interconnected islands are stuffed with secrets. Plus, dig into a deep customisation system. Splash out on personalising your house and swap out your tamer’s tired trackies for all-out goofy gear.

PRO TIP!

Wanna level up fast? Don’t dodge tamer tussles. Go out of your way to beat these bouts! You’ll already get stacks of brawl experience from untamed Temtem. (They lurk everywhere.) But the real XP comes from throwing down with tamers. Find the ones off the main path to nab epic XP gains.
