{
"body": "I finally decided to try this game out. I’m shocked how many comparisons to pokemon it gets when it borrows way more from Cult of the Lamb than anything else. Making beds for Pals or they become insubordinate or go crazy, putting them to work, building a base with mined materials, statues to make them work faster. The pokemon similarities start and end at catching pals and using them to fight.",

{
"body": "I'm seeing a lot of dungeon keeper, breath of the wild inspirations and general survival elements",

},
{
"body": "Only thing I think it's an actual copy is some of the designs. \n\nSome are great, but some look like really weird knock offs. Some have the exact same eyes, like they just lifted the texture off the pokemon",
"replies": [
{
"body": "They took Pokémon designs and whizzed them into an AI blender didn't they? That's why so many have the exact same eyes, mouths, body shapes, etc. It's kind of crazy. Just in that thumbnail I see Jigglypuff's head with some Chansey bits, then Espurr behind"

},
{
"body": "people points out that its \"Ark with pokemon,\"\n\ni do enjoy it playing it for a time and i ***LOVE*** the fact that the time consuming crafting and basic resource gathering could be delegated to your pals.\n\nas much as i love Valheim, the resource gathering cycle got old when i start climbing ice mountain and by far very time consuming for little progress."
},
{
"body": "Not unless you’ve played Pokémon Legends Arceus which is *extremely* similar in style to Palworld. \n\nDon’t get me wrong, I love Palworld and think the lawsuit is shit, but there are definitely some big similarities between Palworld and PLA.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "PalWorld was in development prior to Legends Arceus release, and most of the comparisons are rather surface level in my opinion. PalWorld takes inspirations from various other survivor games instead, I'd argue. "
}
]
},
{
"body": "I thought the main reason it was compared to Pokemon was the character designs"

{
"body": "Crossplay when? It's the one thing holding me back from buying the game."
},
{
"body": "Are these updates free or some sort of paid dlc? Not sure these days.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "It's an early access game so I guess that implies it's free. But yes it's free with Palworld."
},
{
"body": "Every update so far has been free so probably going to be the same. The terraria crossover is probably going to be for Terraria only, and those are always free afaik.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "Terraria crossovers have been for both games thus far, with dead cell being a interesting exception.\n\n\nI see no reason why this would be a one way Terraria Crossover, you can simply have a boss from Terraria be in PalWorld and have them catchable, like Eye of Cthulhu. Additionally, some enemies or creatures from Terraria could be introduced as catchable Pals, and various iconic weapons from Terraria could be added to PalWorld. I see no reason why we'd get zero Terraria content in PalWorld."

{
