Terraria is a 2D adventure game developed by indie developer Re-Logic. The game rules are simple: dig, fight, build and explore. The mechanics of building in this game resembles the famous Minecraft, in which you put material in blocks together and make a whole. You start with a pickaxe and an axe which are used for gathering resources from the environment and protect yourself from harmful enemies, and then use the resources to craft furniture and building blocks to construct your own house.

Features

Your first house is the base for your further exploration. The bed is your spawn point and you could craft weapons and potions from a workbench and a bottle to aid your battle. The house is also the place NPCs reside who you could purchase stuffs from. As you dig down from the ground level, you will face tougher enemies in different environments. Slaying these enemies give you valuable resources in crafting. At the same time, there are also more variety of resources and equipments at depth. So it is a challenging and rewarding task to dig down and explore the world.

The game has no distinct goals and you set one up on your own. For example, if you enjoy fighting, you could go down all the way to the lava level to fight the toughest enemies. If you enjoy exploring, you could dig through the uncountable blocks underground to search for items. And if you enjoy building, there are varieties of resources for you to craft what you want. There is no limit and restriction about what you do and self-fulfilling is the goal of the game.

Development Status

Since the game is released in a rather early state, game play bugs and the lack of content were significant problems for the game. But after a series of updates, the game has become a lot better in these aspects. Though, the game still lacks long-term replay value because a player would have done everything available in the game eventually. For this, many players have suggested features like competitive online modes and AI controlled faction, but none of them has been added yet at this point. The developers have promised such features to be added in the future.
