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, reminiscent of Palworld. This new title combines base building, planetary exploration, resource gathering, and the charming aspect of capturing adorable creatures.

Gameplay in Auroria follows a familiar formula: crafting, survival, base construction, and battling hostile wildlife. The key addition is creature collection, mirroring Palworld's system of capturing creatures in balls and training them as companions. While details on forced labor remain undisclosed, the trailer (see below) offers further insight.

Following Palworld's success, several developers have explored similar concepts. Auroria aims to expand on this formula, unlike the unrealized mobile Palworld version. Amikin Survival is another example of a game capitalizing on this trend.
