Creatures of Ava. Gotta Save them all

Creatures of Ava is a Creature Saver Action Adventure game developed by ‘Inverge studios‘ and published by ‘11 Bit Studios‘. Creatures of Ava is said to be coming out the 7th of August 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S and also PC through Epic Store, Steam and GOG. Creatures of Ava is another Xbox exclusive. X35 Earthwalker likes seeing unique games. Creatures of Ava is coming on a special day. Let’s take a look. 

Creatures of Ava is set on a vibrant planet called Ava where these cool creatures are the fauna. They live here and do their things. There’s also other intelligent life here as well. These inhabitants are called Naam. Players control Vic. A 22 year old adventurer/friend of animals. Everything is colourful, friendly, beautiful and full of life. Of course things don’t stay like that, otherwise we wouldn’t have that much of game now would we. 

Ava is being poisoned and ruined by an unknown infection, called the withering, that’s spreading through the planet. This infection affects both the creatures of Ava and the environment itself. In this way does Creatures of Ava reminds us of The Gunk. When you handle and et rid of the infection, the environment is cleansed and you watch it turn back to being colourful and healthy again, just like in The Gunk. This moments are always satisfying to watch. So you can see what’s going on here. In Creatures of Ava you must save… the Creatures of Ava.

Now some people call Creatures of Ava or describe it as pokemon for Xbox which is false and just lazy clickbait titles for those extra views. There’s too many differences. Oh and it’s definitely not Palworld without guns. Pokemon is monster catching while Creatures of Ava is creature saver/taming. Creatures of Ava hasn’t got Ava balls or Creature spheres. Players, as Vic, must approach and befriend the Creatures of Ava. Gain their trust and they will help you our on your adventure using their physical traits. There also isn’t really any creature on creature battles.

Players must heal and save the creatures, not harm them. You get weapons that cleanse creatures to free them from the infection rather than damage and beat them down. It’s a different approach and a different way of doing things. You aren’t a trainer or tamer, you’re an adventurer. there’s no sports or champion or competition. These are just animals who live on this planet and going about their normal survival. So respect and see Creatures of Ava for what it is. 

Now there is combat but it’s against the infected creatures and you aren’t damaging them but instead healing /cleansing them. You have to help them not beat them up. Now we have identified 4 different ecosystems each filled with their own life. Use your flute to help tame over 20 different creatures. Remember they are still wild. Good thing Vic has the right tool for the job. A special or almost magical, in some way, flute. Play a nice tyne and see how they react.

We checked out some Creatures of Ava gameplay and it’s what were expected. This planet Ava has its own secrets and players have to solve them and learn what’s going on for real. Vic herself is her own person and has a past of her own. Hopefully her past doesn’t come to trouble her… right? There’s quite a blend going on. Action concerning their combat and the help of creatures in your adventure. There’s the heavy exploration checking out the planet and the distinct ecosystems. There’s also secrets and mysteries as it’s a strange world. So there should be lots to do and different things to explore.

Overall Creatures of Ava looks like a great game so far. The Xbox is getting another good treat. This game has done quite a lot well. We do have some concerns. We hope there will be a large variety ion creatures to help. even if some overlap and do similar things but with some differences. Also the character Vic seems cool but she has the typical female character generic body shape. Developers need to learn and stop being cowards and boring. Add some variety. Her hair is real cool and it’s great to see more black characters but she’s black… add a bit more curves. She literally has no booty. Fix that. Otherwise this is looking like a unique adventure. The developers ‘Inverge Studios’ have done a great job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are keeping an eye on this game. Now Creatures of Ava may have a vibrant and alive planet but it’s too dead for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
