Palworld gameplay & mechanics

Palworld has a unique gameplay with a combination of several genres that results in a quirky design. The game consists of traveling across a huge open world map, taming Pals, using them as mounts to aid you in fights against other enemies (and probably enemy players), collecting resources, and managing your base, including crafting, farming, and industrial production.

Few monster collector games offer so much in-depth symbiosis between tamers and monsters, and Palworld sure does look like it has a lot of it.

Palworld also offers a full breeding system and a fully integrated Pal weapon system that allows them to use guns, defensive turrets, and more.
