![]() Palworld is definitely not just a rip-off, and could end up making a name for itself as a new way to experience the genre.A new look at Palworld, the colorful, open-world survival crafting game from Craftopia developer Pocketpair Games, shows off its colorful cartoonish world, it’s Pokémonlike creatures called Pals, and a whole lot of violence that will probably make you think, “It is incredibly weird to see Pokémon on the business end of a shotgun.” Palworld has already revealed a bunch of activities that players can do with their Pals, which might even end up one-upping Pokémon in terms of interacting with the creatures. Overall, it seems Palworld dares to do what Pokémon won't, pushing the boundaries for the creature-capturing genre of games, and falling ultimately more in line with Ark: Survival Evolved than Pokémon. #PALWORLD GAME SERIES#Palworld will have a level of violence that the Pokémon series will likely never have, which does greatly set it apart. Several of the game's trailers and screenshots even show the player character shooting guns, and the Pals are right alongside them using firearms such as pistols, turrets, and rocket launchers. It sounds as if Palworld will have a lot more "intractability" with its creatures, to use perhaps a kinder word than the game may deserve, including the ability to eat them for survival. In Palworld, players will be able to "meet, catch, breed, fight, work with, sell, dismantle, and even eat" the mysterious creatures of the world known as Pals. In Pokémon, Trainers will capture Pokémon, battle them, and form close bonds with them. The treatment of the creatures in both games is also vastly different. And since Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are going to be the series' first true open-world games, Pokémon has never been open-world before, making Palworld something quite different. The keyword for Palworld is that it is a "survival" game, which Pokémon is absolutely not. In its description on Steam, Palworld describes itself as "a multiplayer open-world survival crafting monster breeding game," which already sets it apart in terms of genre. The only similarity in genre that Palworld shares are the capturing of creatures. Pokémon uses turn-based strategy RPG gameplay mechanics at its core, with its combat an iconic factor in the gameplay. However, Palworld has a lot of differences that make it seem like it will actually be its own unique title with diversity in gameplay. ![]() The trailer on Steam shows a very similar catching animation to that of Pokéballs, which is definitely a red flag in terms of originality. Yet, since there really isn't too much information about Palworld, the question is inevitable whether or not this game is simply just a rip-off of Pokémon.

These games have taken their own spin on the genre and propelled themselves to be unique enjoyable titles, not just another Pokémon-esque game. There have been several Pokémon-like games to play that have been released in the past and have seen a solid player base and a lot of love, like Temtem, Monster Hunter Stories 2, and Yo-kai Watch. ![]() This may beg the question if Palworld is just a Pokémon rip-off using the genre to generate hype. It is another title that revolves around the catching of cute and dangerous creatures and using them to achieve goals. Palworld is a game similar to Pokémon that will be releasing on Steam later this year. ![]()
