“sooo fun to just sit back and do a few runs when i get the itch. probably my favorite roguelite up to date. plan to fully 100% the game and future content”
“It's actually pretty fun, and it renewed my interest in Temtem, so I'm back to trying to finish the original game. I like these devs and want to support them :)”
“A 'Vampire Survivor-like" bullet heaven style game. I find this game is really easy to just turn your brain off and play, but also has difficulty modifiers that make it very challenging if you want. Its very fun with…”

“Its a solid game. Lots of replayability and unique characters. The grind is real but not too bad and the prestige is a nice added bonus. I've only prestiged once so far but i like that at least each character so far has…”
“I can't (with clear conscious) recommend this game. The developers have a strong habit of abandoning games after a modicum of success. Regular Temtem hit a snag of MTX issues and bailed. Development and bug fixes took…”
“Very fun, reminds me of vampire survivors a bit. Been having a great time playing this with friends. Like the evolutions and the characters. I would recommend this to my friends”

“I believe this game is good enough as a solo game to recommend if you're a fan of the genre. Similar to Megabonk & Vampire Survivors, though with some differences, like choosing where to aim(which is a mechanic that…”
“One of the best survivor like games I played after Vampire Survivor. It has a lot a playable characters, all with big skill trees to improve. If you want a game to 100% this will take you a lot of time. But if you want…”

“As someone who plays a lot of incremental and bullet heaven/swarm games, I can confidently say this one does not respect your time. What should be an interesting premise is completely undermined by poor design…”
“This game has very similar issues to the Temtem main game in that it gets really grindy really fast. The developers at Crema must really like a tedious grind as that seems to be the main focus for their games.…”
“This could have been easily the top Game in this Genre for me. Yet the absurdly insane amount of grinding is just crazy..why not have a basic skill tree for pansun, xp, armor, health, revive, dodge chance etc that every…”

“Absolutely amazing. This game is addictive for me. I find it to be both a visual overload and yet the perfect thing to play when I want to turn my brain off as well. It's basically a survivor, roguelike bullet heaven. It has a nice progression system that really does encourage…”

Worth the price [strike] Overall a fun game, but i'll stop playing for now, too frustrating with the dash/host bug (randomly the host will disapear and the only option is to altf4) We lost hours of progress for nothing. I'll change my review…”
— a player, Steam review · 55 hrs played“Played a few hours and had a decent time at first. Unlocking all the Temtems and techniques feels fun early on, but it doesn’t take to long before the game runs out of things to keep you engaged and starts to feel repetitive. The prestige system is just a slow, tedious grind…”
