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

Auroria: A Playful Adventure, a new game launching July 10th in the SEA region, blends classic survival mechanics with creature collection, drawing clear inspiration from the popular Palworld.

This upcoming title offers a straightforward gameplay loop: crafting, survival, base-building, and battling hostile wildlife. The core mechanic, however, is the capture and training of adorable creatures using capture balls, echoing Palworld's gameplay. While details on potential forced labor aspects remain undisclosed, the trailer (see below) offers a glimpse into Auroria's world.

The success of Palworld has sparked interest in similar gameplay, with titles like Amikin Survival capitalizing on the trend. Auroria aims to further develop this creature-collecting survival genre.
