Miraibo Go is an upcoming Palword-like for Android that could work out as king of the clones
It's not just about the look of the thing
- Miraibo Go is a new Palworld-esque game coming to Android
- It offers creature collection, battling, base building and more
- There's also features like landscape mode that've been promised
Miraibo Go, originally known as PetOCraft, is a new Palworld-esque game coming to Android from Dreamworld Games. Boasting creature collection, battling and a wide open world to explore, you'll find the same base-building elements and other more action-oriented gameplay that made the original Pokémon-but-not title such a viral sensation.
If there was any doubt about Miraibo Go's spiritual DNA, the presence of cutesy animal companions blasting apart enemies with realistically rendered guns should put that to rest. But aside from that obvious caveat, Miraibo Go looks to offer the same sort of fun fans of Palworld expect.
And with a Palworld Mobile version seemingly radio-silent, it looks as if Miraibo Go will have ample space to grow when it hits mobile sometime soon. Miraibo Go isn't a game which is up in the air either, as it recently concluded a test period during August, giving players their first chance to get to grips with the game.
While Miraibo Go is obviously cribbing a great deal from Palworld, as I pointed out yesterday with (*sigh*) Backpack Attack: Troll Face, a clone with no production values won't tickle the same part of a player's brain, no matter how well it emulates the original's gameplay.
With Miraibo Go, it's clear there's decent production values going into this game, and aesthetically it manages to offer pleasing landscape, creature and character designs. Assuming the gameplay can carry it further, it may be that Palworld will have serious competition if/when it hits mobile.
