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 gameplay with creature collection, reminiscent of Palworld. This new title combines base-building, planetary exploration, resource gathering, and the charming addition of capturing and training adorable creatures.

Gameplay is a familiar mix of crafting, survival, and base construction, spiced up with the challenge of hostile wildlife. The creature-catching mechanic, similar to Palworld's system of capturing creatures in balls, is a key feature. While details on forced labor are yet to be revealed, the trailer (below) offers a glimpse into Auroria's world.

The market for Palworld-style games might be niche, but its initial success has inspired other developers. Auroria aims to expand on this concept, following in the footsteps of similar titles like Amikin Survival. While a mobile version of Palworld remains unconfirmed, Auroria presents a compelling alternative.
