Temtem: Swarm has been featured in this week’s Steam Next Fest and now, Crema has announced the game’s launch into Early Access: November 13th.

The strategic bullet heaven shooter blended with Temtem’s creature elements has a playable demo on Steam this week. Crema announced that in the first three days the demo was available, over 60,000 players downloaded and played it. 

Temtem: Swarm features, as the title says, swarms of enemies and bosses in that you encounter on maps with varied environments and terrain, as you control different Tems. When it's released into Early Access the game will be available for a price of $9.99 USD/ €9,75, and at various regional prices via Steam (and Steam Deck supported). The team is planning bundles as well with extras for those who want them.

The public demo on Steam is still available for a couple more days. With the enthusiastic response,  and a demo available without restriction, the team is using this to get more feedback and data to continue to refine the build as they had to Early Access launch in less than a month.

Based on demo feedback, the team will be working on improving controls, including setting front facing attacks to auto aim by default and adding options to control aim via mouse or right joystick. Fans of twin stick shooters, rejoice. 

The Early Access launch is just the beginning. For the November 13th build, they plan to have solo and co-op mode, seven Tems with their own skill trees,  five Maps, 10 mini bosses, five final bosses, five in-game event types, and more by that  November 13th release. Early Access is estimated to last a year with more changes and additions to come, which Crema has listed out in their announcement.
