Competitive multiplayer Temtem battlesHumble Games announced today (https://twitter.com/PlayTemtem/status/1673361026924920835) that their battle focused Temtem: Showdown is now available to download for free on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2254920/Temtem_Showdown/). The game is essentially a standalone variant of the Pok?mon-like Temtem (https://www.destructoid.com/temtem-ps5-impressions-early-access/) that released out of early access last year. You do not need to purchase the previous*Temtem game in order to access*Temtem: Showdown.

Gotta battle em' all!Temtem: Showdown takes out the taming and leveling from the base game, and focuses purely on the combat. Dubbed a "free multiplayer battle simulator", players can build a team in seconds and dash into ranked matches with players from all over the world. At its core, Temtem's battle system features action-packed 2v2 battles. It'll feel familiar to anyone who's played a bit of doubles in online*Pok?mon*matches.
Competitive play seems to be a huge part of the game, featuring a climbable ranked ladder system. Furthermore, the game will have community-run tournaments as well as an official esports circuit called TemCS. According to to the Steam page, the circuit will reward huge prizes.
Seasons will also be a thing in Temtem: Showdown. There will be a new season every few months, changing up the meta and introducing new combinations to play with when doing battle.
I haven't got a chance to play*Temtem yet, though it's in my backlog to play on PS5. I have heard great things about its battle system though, so this seems like the right idea to make it accessible to more players. While*Temtem is available on PC, Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, it looks like Temtem: Showdown is only available via Steam for now.
If you want to give the game a try, you can check out Temtem: Showdown now for free on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2254920/Temtem_Showdown/).
