earthpressnews

Palworld is currently unique with its mix of different games and crazy humor. If you’re still looking for titles that are similar to Palworld, we’ll show you 5 games on Steam that have a lot in common.

Palworld is currently a huge hit on Steam. Millions of players enjoy the crazy mix that combines monster collecting, as we know it from games like Pokémon, with a survival game. On top of that, Palworld stands out for its crazy humor, because you can not only equip the cute little monsters with firearms, but also eat them or “juice them”.

With this crazy mix, Palworld is currently unique. We still want to recommend 5 games to you that are like Palworld, at least in certain areas.

How did we decide on the games? We based our selection of games on three key elements of Palworld. The three factors are:

  • Survival games with creatures that you can catch/tame/breed and use for your own purposes
  • Games in which you collect monsters and fight with them
  • A pinch of twisted humor

    • Survival games with creatures

    ARK Survival Evolved

    Developer: Studio Wildcard | Model: Buy to play | Platforms: PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch |
    Player: Solo, co-op, multiplayer | Mode: PvE, PvP |

    What kind of game is this? ARK: Survival Evolved is a survival game for PC and console in which you can tame and breed dinosaurs and mystical creatures such as dragons.

    Many of the creatures found in ARK can be used for various purposes after taming/breeding them.

  • With a Tyrannosaurus rex you can fight against other creatures, players or bosses
  • An Ankylosaurus is very good at farming metal.
  • You can ride an Argentavis, which is a large bird, and carry large amounts of resources with it.

    • For almost every task there is a creature that can help you complete it. In addition, ARK also has weapons such as an assault rifle, fully automatic guns or a rocket launcher. Typical survival mechanics such as hunger, feelings of heat and cold, and building a base are also included.

    However, if ARK: Survival Evolved is a bit old for you, you can also take a look at the remake ARK: Survival Ascended. This comes with the newer Unreal Engine 5, better graphics and some “Quality of Life” improvements, but still has performance issues, some bugs and less content than ARK: Survival Evolved.

    Special recommendation: There are also a large number of mods for ARK: Survival Evolved on Steam that further improve or change the gaming experience. If you don’t want dinosaurs, but colorful monsters like in Palworld, then you can download a corresponding Pokémon mod from the Steam workshop – including Poké balls.

    Smalland: Survive The Wilds

    Developer: Merge games | Model: Buy to play | Platforms: PC, (Xbox, PlayStation) | Player: Solo, co-op | Mode: PvE, (PvP)

    Smalland: Survive The Wilds – New survival game on Steam

    What kind of game is this? Smalland: Survive The Wilds is a survival game in which you are shrunk to the size of insects and have to survive in the wilderness – similar to Grounded. But like in Palworld and ARK, in Smalland you also have the opportunity to tame different animals such as a spider or a grasshopper and then ride them. There are also flight mounts.

    Unfortunately, the animals in Smalland don’t really have many functions to help you play. They are mainly there for traveling or fighting. Typical survival game mechanics such as building your own base are still included. There will also be PvP in the future, but currently only PvE is possible.

    Smalland is currently still in early access and only available on Steam, but it still has 86% positive reviews and the full version is scheduled to launch on February 15, 2024. With the full version, the title will also come to PlayStation and Xbox.

    Crazy humor

    In Palworld you can arm a monkey with an assault rifle, use a sheep as a living shield, or use a penguin as a missile for a rocket launcher. Let’s not even get started on the slaughtering and “juicing” of one’s own Pals or the duck called “Fuack”. That’s why this list needs to contain at least one game aimed at players who enjoy Palworld’s humor.

    Cult of the Lamb

    Developer: Massive monsters | Model: Buy to play | Platforms: PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch |
    Player: Solo | Mode: PvE |

    Cult of the Lamb – Trailer shows innovations for the “Sins of the Flesh” update

    What kind of game is this? Cult of the Lamb is a dungeon crawler in which you embody a cute little lamb and build your own cult with him. The game’s bitter humor made Cult of The Lamb a surprise hit on Steam in 2022

    In terms of gameplay, Cult of the Lamb doesn’t have much in common with Palworld, but if you like the crazy humor of the survival game and enjoy eating your cuddly animals or forcing them to do tasks, you might also enjoy Cult of the Lamb .

    Similar to Palworld, the game presents you with a choice: Do you want to be a kind guru who cares about the well-being of his “sheep”? Or are you a cruel cult leader who uses fear and terror to ensure obedience? So you can make your followers submissive with hallogenic mushrooms, make them work day and night, or murder them and feed the resulting meat to the remaining members of your cult.

    In the challenging battles against hordes of infidels and rival cult leaders, depending on the level of difficulty, you spread the word of your sworn cult and repeatedly make questionable decisions.

    In January, Cult of the Lamb received the “Sins of Flesh” update, fulfilling a long-awaited wish from fans. You can find out more about this on MeinMMO: Cult of the Lamb gets a long-awaited update – fans only wanted one thing, and the developer delivers
