You may run right into the Corruption right into the beginning of the game, and, again, die. You'll fall down a horrible pit, and immediately die. Once you go underground, you'll find yourself being murdered by enemies you stand no chance against, struggling to survive with your most basic of equipment. The beginning of the game can be absolutely miserable. All kinds of decorations and crazy things you can set up, it's as diverse as the gear you can craft! There are a few problems, though. Not that there's a shortage of things to build. ![]() The "town building" aspect gives you a motivation to actually build things as opposed to, "build it.just 'cause you can". These NPCs can heal your wounds, sell you gear and items, or provide helpful advice. ![]() You can build up your town, and as you do, you summon NPCs to live there. It actually reminds me of an old PS2 game I liked, called Dark Cloud. The amount of gear in the game is just insane: Jet boots, grappling hooks, machine guns, speed boosters, meteor-summoning swords.just to name a few! It always feels like there's always something new to find and explore. There is a wide variety of enemies to fight, treasure chests to discover containing rare items, and even giant bosses to take down for rare materials and gear! Unlike Minecraft, where combat feels like an afterthought, it was very much thought of here. Terraria plays like an Action RPG more than a sandbox game. What has changed is about everything else. Gameplay: Compared to Minecraft, the basics remain the same: Take squares to put on top of other squares in order to build things, gather materials to craft items and gear in a randomly generated world, repeat ad-nausium. Jumping can be a bit annoying until you get used to it, but once you get that down, you'll be gathering materials and chopping down monsters like a pro. If you have a flaming greatsword, you can hear the flames crackling off the blade as you swing. All the enemies have their own sound effects, and your weapons make correct sounds, too. Sound: Relaxing music is a given, but the sound effects are pretty good. The only complain I have are the animations: There's hardly any on the monsters, most of them may as well be still images. ![]() The environments are very nice and detailed, and react to how you interact with them appropriately. Graphics and Performance: Very clean 2D visuals, with virtually no slowdown, except in the most extreme of circumstances. While this is true, it's also.so much more, and I feel this was why Minecraft radically changed it's game. The environments are very nice and detailed, and react to how you interact with Terraria is oftentimes referred to as the "2D Minecraft", and left at that.
