The Retro Rents -- EP091 -- Gotta Tem Them All

Hosts on Deck: Al, Nick, Temtem

What's up everyone! On this episode Nick and Al gush about the absolute deluge of games coming out, Steam Next Fest, and Al just can't shut up about Temtem (seriously, it's awesome, go get it). 

Nick gives us a solid look into Moonbreaker, a solid Xcom style scifi game that simulates a tabletop miniatures style, set in a Brandon Sanderson story world. It's currently Early Access but absolutely worth the price of admission.

We talk about the many games that have released since Steam's summer Next Fest (hi Dome Keeper!), and Al talks more about what makes Temtem more addicting and fun than Pokemon has ever been for him. https://crema.gg/games/temtem/ 

More game chat within, plus fun life stories :p enjoy!
