Auroria: A playful journey adds to a list of burgeoning Palworld-likes

Auroria: A Playful Adventure, launching July 10th in the SEA region, blends classic survival mechanics with creature collection, echoing the success of Palworld. This new title combines base building, planetary exploration, resource gathering, and the charming addition of capturing and training adorable creatures.

Gameplay in Auroria follows a familiar formula: crafting, survival, base construction, and battling hostile wildlife. The core similarity to Palworld lies in the creature-catching and companionship aspects, utilizing capture balls to acquire and train these companions. While details regarding forced labor remain undisclosed, the trailer (below) offers further insight.

The market for Palworld-inspired games is growing, with Auroria aiming to expand on the concept. Following Palworld's success, several developers, including the creators of Amikin Survival, have explored similar gameplay. Although a mobile Palworld version hasn't materialized, Auroria seeks to further refine this captivating formula.
