About Temtem: Swarm
Temtem: Swarm blends survivor‑style pressure with the strategic battles of the Temtem universe. Up to three players can team up, either with friends or via matchmaking, to battle relentless waves of Tems and powerful bosses.
The game emphasizes coordinated gear and skill timing, evolution‑based power growth, and co‑op features like Ghost Mode that let teammates revive each other. It runs on Windows with full controller, keyboard, and mouse options, and supports cross‑platform multiplayer and Steam services.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Battle Structure
Players face swarms of Tems together, progressing through hand‑crafted stages that end with mini‑bosses and a stage boss. Each encounter requires timing attacks, defenses, and power‑ups to survive the increasing difficulty.
The mode supports up to three participants, and a matchmaking system connects solo players with others. Coordination of gears and skills is highlighted as a way to create strong synergies against the enemies.
- Try aligning your attack timing with teammates to maximize combined damage.
- Observe boss patterns early to adjust your defensive abilities accordingly.
02 / THE GUIDE
Evolution and Power‑Ups
Defeating enemies grants XP that levels Tems, unlocking final evolutions which provide massive skill and strength boosts. Each evolution brings massive power-ups to your skills and strength.
These power‑ups can be unleashed strategically during battles to deliver devastating attacks or defensive effects, helping the team clear maps more efficiently.
- Focus on evolving Tems that complement your teammates' skill sets.
- Use ultimate abilities when bosses enter vulnerable phases for maximum impact.

Ghost Mode Revival
When a player is knocked out, Ghost Mode allows teammates to support them until they can safely revive and rejoin the fight. Defeat is not final; the team can continue battling while a member recovers.
This mechanic encourages staying together and protecting each other, as revived players can immediately contribute to the ongoing battle.
- Support a downed teammate in Ghost Mode until they can safely revive.
- Prioritize defensive abilities while a teammate is in Ghost Mode.
