We Love It's Guide to…

Palworld

Explore a dangerous open world, gather food and materials, and capture creatures known as Pals. You can fight hostile Pals and people, or focus on surviving and building a life alongside your companions. Pals can join you in combat, help you travel across land, water, and sky, and bring different abilities to your team. Breed them to pass on traits, explore dungeons, and take on bosses as you seek out new creatures and resources. Build a base and assign Pals to jobs such as farming, mining, crafting, and producing power. As you level up and unlock technologies, you can expand your facilities and automate more work. Play alone or team up with others in multiplayer.

Capture versatile Pals, survive an open world, and build a base where your creatures fight, farm, craft, and automate.

From the Devs

Q. What kind of game is this?

A. In this game, you can peacefully live alongside mysterious creatures known as Pals or risk your life to drive off a ruthless poaching syndicate.

Pals can be used to fight, or they can be made to work on farms or factories.
You can even sell them or eat them!

Survival
In a harsh environment where food is scarce and vicious poachers roam, danger waits around every corner. To survive, you must tread carefully and make difficult choices...even if that means eating your own Pals when the time comes.

Mounts & Exploration
Pals can be mounted to traverse the land, sea and sky—allowing you to traverse all kinds of environment as you explore the world.

Building Structures
Want to build a pyramid? Put an army of Pals on the job. Don't worry; there are no labor laws for Pals.

Production
Make use of Pals and their skills to make fire, generate electricity, or mine ore so that you can live a life of comfort.

Farming
Some Pals are good at planting seeds, while others are skilled at watering or harvesting crops. Work together with your Pals to create an idyllic farmstead.

Factories & Automation
Letting Pals do the work is the key to automation. Build a factory, place a Pal in it, and they'll keep working as long as they're fed—until they're dead, that is.

Dungeon Exploration
With Pals on your side you can tackle even the most dangerous areas. When the time comes, you might have to sacrifice one to save your skin. They'll protect your life—even if it costs their own.

Breeding & Genetics
Breed a Pal and it will inherit the characteristics of its parents. Combine rare pals to create the strongest Pal of them all!

Poaching & Crime
Endangered Pals live in wildlife sanctuaries. Sneak in and capture rare Pals to get rich quick! It's not a crime if you don't get caught, after all.

Multiplayer
Multiplayer is supported, so invite a friend and go on an adventure together! And of course you can battle your friends and trade Pals, too.

In online co-op play mode, up to 4 players can play together.
Additionally, a dedicated server can allow up to 32 players to play together.
