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, echoing the popular Palworld formula. This isn't your typical survival game; it incorporates base-building, planetary exploration, resource gathering, and, significantly, the capture and training of adorable creatures using capture balls – a key similarity to Palworld. While the game's trailer doesn't reveal details about forced labor (a controversial element of Palworld), it showcases the core gameplay loop.

Auroria's straightforward gameplay involves crafting, survival, base construction, and battling hostile wildlife. The creature collection aspect, reminiscent of Palworld, is a central feature. Following Palworld's success, several developers have explored similar concepts. Auroria aims to expand on this formula, capitalizing on the interest generated by titles like Amikin Survival.
