Temtem

Turn-based combat

A Pokémon-inspired creature-collecting adventure where you catch Temtem across an island archipelago and fight in turn-based double battles. Its standout feature is the shared online world where you can explore and battle with friends and decorate your own house.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!

Cosy, great for unwinding
