Temtem: Swarm is getting an open beta in September following the game’s recent Private Alpha Playtest. The beta will run for a couple of weeks and kick off on 12 September and run until 1 October.
The developers behind the game, Crema say that players can participate in the beta by simply wishlisting it on Steam and requesting access to the Beta Playtest. The developers will also offer various ways to gain access through social media campaigns and the official Discord.
The Temtem: Swarm beta will give players a good taste of the main game. It includes two arenas, four Tems to unlock, skill trees, different play styles and all in co-op too.
Two Arenas to explore and conquer!
Play in Deniz, a Mediterranean paradise of sandy beaches, or in Cipanku, a techno-oriental promenade under the cherry blossoms! Each map has its own decorations, pickable items, enemies…and of course, this also means different bosses and mini-bosses! Each map has two mini-bosses and one final boss, each with exclusive Techniques and attack patterns. Learn their patterns to plan your attacks!
Four Tems to unlock and play with!
While the full version of Temtem: Swarm will have a good chunk of playable Tems, in the Beta you start out with lovely Platypet, and can unlock Oree, Innki and Pigepic as you play. Completing challenges in each map will make you progress in Kudos, our in-game achievements, and some Kudos will reward you with an egg. Completing a Capture event in any following game will hatch that egg, unlocking a new Temtem for you to play with!
Skill Trees to grow and enjoy!
Every Tem has its own unique Skill Tree and so you have total control over your builds depending on your play style! You allocate points by using Pansuns, which you’ll earn during your matches. Feel like switching up your strategy? No problem! You can always reset any given Skill Tree and reallocate your Pansuns how you want. Start from scratch whenever you want!
Techniques, Gears, Kudos and Synergies!
A full world of possibilities unrolls once you start tapping into the different builds you can have in Temtem: Swarm. There are 28 different Techniques in the Beta, some being exclusive to certain Tems. By playing matches and achieving Kudos you’ll be able to unlock Synergies, which will make your Techs way more powerful than at its base. Synergies happen when a fully maxed Technique is paired with a certain Gear. Kudos are the best source of information on these, so don’t forget to check them out!
Don’t forget your friends!
Temtem: Swarm was built from the ground up with online 3-player co-op in mind so that you can join friends to face the swarm together. Strategize, share resources(or steal them from each other), and unleash coordinated attacks to overcome formidable foes. Maximize your attack potential by combining gears and skills into unique builds, creating overpowered synergies and unleashing unstoppable ultimate abilities. Co-op is fully enabled for the Beta, so grab your crew and jump in!
The game is in development for PC with more platforms to be announced later down the line. It is a spin-off of the creature collecting game, Temtem. Originally, Temtem: Swarm was meant to be added to the main game. However, the developers decided to release it as a standalone project.
