PLAY STYLE
The game focuses on finding and capturing creatures to work for you, like in Pokémon. Here though, you also use your creatures as commodities as well as companions. They can help you in battles with enemies, but you can also sell them, butcher them to eat or put them to work in the mines.
As you progress you learn to deal with all sorts of environmental challenges. There are food shortages, changeable weather and illegal poachers. Exploring the world becomes essential, and you can use your Pal creatures to get around in a variety of ways: fly, swim, drive a car or even have them carry you on their shoulders.
After venturing out you create a home base where you can sow crops and create a farm. This leads to various sorts of automation to produce the materials you need. You can also breed your Pal creatures who then inherit the parent's characteristics and try to create rare species to tackle the harder foes.
The result is a game that offers a lot of options for play. This can sound like a recipe for disaster in terms of mistreating the creatures you find, but actually, the open choices provide the opportunity to progress in unusual and creative ways.

Suggested by Family Gaming Database
Younger players can enjoy exploring the world and developing a home base. There's also a larger challenge here that requires forward planning and resilience to progress. However, to get the most from the game you need to engage with the systems and levelling systems that are relatively complex.
