Introduction : Best Game Releases 2024
In the gaming industry, nobody ever imagined the very surprising entry of a mysterious survival game releases 2024, which broke many records in its first week of launch. The game was announced in 2021 itself by the company Pocket (an independent company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo) and later, in early 2024, released for early access users of Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
About the game: Pal World
Pal World is an open-world survival game that explores the frictional world of survival capabilities along with pals, the main highlight of the game. The “pals” are the living creatures, more similar to Pokémon’s, but the game is not developed or inspired by the Pokemon concept alone. According to CEO “Takuro Mizobe,” the concept of Pal World is based on Ark: Survival Evolved, which is also a famous survival game in which players need to capture and train 80+ unique dinosaurs and primal creatures.
These pals creatures have different shapes, sizes, and abilities, each with its own unique characteristics and personalities. Players need to build bonds with their pals through spending time with them and interactions such as feeding, grooming, and playing with them. As the relationship between the player and Pal grows, it will increase Pal’s loyalty and effectiveness in assisting the player.
The Pal World game displays the survival skills of the gamers, its character, and its relationship with pals. The character needs to capture the pals, train them, feed them, make bases for them, increase their level and skills, and much more. The game is full of adventure and strategy. As the level increases, it becomes difficult to capture “bad” pals, and the game becomes intense.
The Pal World game also supports the multiplayer option. The game can be played either solo or online, with up to 32 players on one server. It is a time-consuming game that takes time to build things, but the game is designed in such a way that the pals can come and help the character on different bases to reduce the timing of the tasks by using pals as manual labour. The character can take help from the pals to collect different items from them, get food, and do much more.
The Gameplay
In the survival island of Pal World, the player views things from a third-person perspective and explores the open-world. Pal Pagos Islands, the game is complicated; players need to manage their huge level, craft tools and weapons, and make their bases with the facility of fast travel to enter a new part of an island in a second. These things unlock through a technology tree, which allows the players to modify their bases, craft, and use weapons, structures, and decorations.
The islands are populated with over 100 creatures called pals, which players need to capture by taking a fight with the help of their pal. Only one pal at a time can fight, but the pal can be pulled back and the player can send another pal to fight at any time, so the game requires strategy, such as what pal needs to be used in a fight,, when to pull it back, then resend another pal, and then when the fighting pal gets weak, capture it using “Pal Spheres” of different kinds. In the game, pals can also be traded for other things.
After making a fleet of pals, the player will be ready to battle and capture ‘Boss’ pals, presented at different bases. Also, all the captured pals can assist the player with tasks such as scavenging, crafting, and cooking, depending on their type. The game has day and night modes, which change according to time. At night, the game becomes more complex and difficult to play as more dangerous characters appear in the night theme of the game.
As the player experience increases, the player can do different things with pals, like make a saddle and ride a flying pal; they can also ride other pals to travel from one place to another. The game also has a character for patrolling; sometimes a gang of pals raids a player’s base, so a player always needs to be ready to fight. Each pal has a partner skill, allowing further utility by using them as weapons or mounts.
