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 is a familiar mix of crafting, survival, and base construction, spiced up with the challenge of hostile wildlife. The core similarity to Palworld lies in the creature capture mechanic, using orbs to collect and train companions. While details on potential forced labor remain undisclosed, the trailer (below) offers a glimpse into Auroria's world.

Following Palworld's success, several developers have explored similar gameplay concepts. Auroria aims to expand on this formula, capitalizing on the established interest in this unique blend of survival and creature collection. While a mobile Palworld version never materialized, Auroria seeks to fill that potential niche.
