TemTem Discontinues Showdown Standalone Client

The competitive scene has been a disappointment for TemTem.

Well, I would bet that the main game is going the same route in the near future. There is a lot of potential in Temtem, but the game's population is already down to 2% of its peak (according to Steam's data), there are no new large updates planned, and now the championship circuit has been discontinued as well.

The game is reliant on servers, so it's just a matter of time until the developers feel it's not worth keeping them running and turn off the game.

Does it have an alright story? I bought it on PS5 launch day and I have yet to touch it.

In terms of plot, it's on a similar level to your average Pokémon game, so it's serviceable, but don't expect to find anything that will stick with you or really tug at your heartstrings. Gameplay-wise, it's very close to the second/third generation of Pokémon, just longer and harder. Expect something close to 50 hours to beat it.

Honestly, I think Temtem is a good game, but they went all out on the multiplayer stuff, and it didn't really work out. The downside is they neglected the solid single-player part, and since it's tied to a server, once they shut that down, no one will be able to play it anymore.

Not to mention they constantly virtue signal on Twitter as leftist activists. Mistake on their part
