Temtem: Swarm Is a New Vampire Survivors and Pokemon Rumble Style Game

Crema, the developer behind the Pokemon-like game Temtem, announced a Vampire Survivors or Pokemon Rumble style spin-off called Temtem: Swarm. It has a tentative Q3 2024 release window for PCs. 

As the title suggests, players will be using the various species of Temtem to fight through waves of enemies, choosing perks like gear and techniques when leveling up and evolving. People can go through it alone, or three players working online together to fight through stages. Apparently every Temtem from the original game is playable, if you manage to get them. 

Here’s the first trailer for the game. It begins with an animated opening before showing how it works in action. While this does seem to be a Vampire Survivors sort of roguelike, it also appears to be like a Pokemon Rumble game due to players being able to choose when certain moves are executed.

There are also an array of initial announcement screenshots showing off some of the allied and opposing Temtem characters fighting.

Temtem: Swarm will come to PCs in Q3 2024. There’s no exact release window yet, but the Steam page is live. Temtem is available on the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
