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 the popular 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 blend 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 potential forced labor aspects remain undisclosed, the trailer (below) offers a glimpse into Auroria's world.

Following Palworld's success, a niche market for similar games has emerged. Auroria aims to expand upon this concept, joining titles like Amikin Survival in capitalizing on the trend. While a mobile version of Palworld hasn't materialized, Auroria presents a compelling alternative.
