Pocketpair's new survival crafting game Palworldcame bursting out of the gate guns ablazing. Less than a week after launch, it's sold over 7 million copies and surpassed 1.8 million concurrent players on Steam to become the second most-played game ever on the platform.

If you weren't one of those many, many players, consider hopping on the bandwagon within the next 24 hours or so: Palworldis on sale for 10% off on Steam until Thursday, Jan. 25 at 1 p.m. as part of an introductory offer, which brings it down a few bucks to $26.99. (Note that this discount is only available for PC players — the Xbox version is still full price.)

Palworld has been recurrently referred to as "Pokémon with guns," (and The Pokémon Company has noticed) but it's really more like "ARK: Survival Evolvedwith Pokémon." Players exploring its open world will find it teeming with crafting materials and critters called Pals, which look like a lot like Pocket Monsters (to the point where it's a little sus). Pals can be tamed, fought, bred, ridden, armed, employed at your base, assigned chores, whisked into battle, and yes, even eaten. If you want to build a Pal empire with friends, multiplayer works with up to four people in online co-op mode and up to 32 on a dedicated server.

An important heads-up that Palworldis still in its early access phase, and according to a developer note on its Steam page, it'll remain that way for at least a year as more content and improvements are added. As things currently stand, though, the game is pretty fun as-is: The early access PC version got an 8/10 from our comrades at IGN (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis), who said "deep survival mechanics and a hilarious attitude make it hard to put down."
