The Palworld phenomenon has captivated millions of players by blending creature capture, survival, and construction into a single universe. However, a new title on the Nintendo Switch has been attracting attention due to its undeniable similarity to PocketPair's game: Palland. Available on the eShop for R$57.99, the release reignites discussions about the line between inspiration and copycatting in the gaming market.

Produced by BoggySoft, Palland promises survival, exploration, and creature management mechanics. With varied settings and dynamic missions, the game aims to attract fans of the genre. However, its visual and conceptual similarity to Palworld raises questions about the game's originality and the presence of clones on digital platforms.
Palland and its similarities to Palworld
Videos shared by content creators on YouTube show that Palland follows a formula very similar to Palworld. From the artistic style to the proposed creature interactions, the similarities are evident. The difference is that, in this version, the visuals are more simplified and there are no capture mechanics, which limits some of the experience that made the original so popular.
The choice of simple graphics ensures that Palland runs stably on the Switch, even on the original model. Despite this, the technical performance doesn't compensate for the lack of gameplay depth. With repetitive missions and limited interaction variety, the game could quickly lose audience interest.
The problem of clones in the digital market
Palland isn't an isolated case. The eShop and other digital stores have been the stage for the release of games that imitate blockbusters. However, in many cases, these productions take advantage of lax publishing systems to sell cheap copies, targeting unsuspecting consumers.
Before Palland, The Last Hope gained notoriety for being a low-budget version of The Last of Us on the Switch. While these games are eventually removed, initial sales seem sufficient to motivate new attempts. This practice raises debates about platform responsibility and the need for more effective filters.
