Terraria is an action/adventure game created by Andrew "Redigit" Spinks, from Re-Logic, an independent
studio. Taking place in bidimensional procedurally generated and completely worlds, the game lets players
destroy and rebuild the environments as they see fit, while facing the threats of the horrible monsters who
roam the land. The gameplay mixes the sandbox elements of Minecraft with the battles and exploration of
2D Castlevania games, with additional factors such as the existance of NPCs and crafting.

Read the game's official description below:

"Dig, fight, explore, build! Nothing is impossible in this action-packed adventure game. The world is
your canvas and the ground itself is your paint.

Grab your tools and go! Make weapons to fight off a variety of enemies in numerous biomes. Dig
deep underground to find accessories, money, and other useful things. Gather resources to create
everything you need to make the world your own. Build a house, a fort, or even a castle. People
will move in to live there and perhaps even sell you different wares to assist you on your journey.

But beware, there are even more challenges awaiting you... Are you up to the task?"​

• An ever-expanding world, affected by free content updates;
• Enjoy sandbox play: do your thing, whenever you want to;
• Dig and explore randomly generated worlds, created in three different sizes;
• The world is your canvas - destroy everything, only to rebuild it later;
• Master the art of crafting! Gather materials, and use them to forge various items;

• Create a town full of houses where item vendors and other NPCs can live safely;
• Face an enormous amount of different monsters, including huge bosses;
• Play alone, bring your friends to your world, or visit theirs. The choice is yours;
• Use the persistent inventory system to bring your gear and items to different worlds;
• Gather accessories to power up your characters;

• Try to simply survive, or go out there and show the wilderness who's the boss.

  The following images were taken from the game's official website:

• Is there a demo version of the game I can try?
  
  There is no demo version of Terraria currently available.​
• Can I buy the game without a Steam account?
  
  No.​
• Will the game be released in other platforms?
  
  According to the developer, there are plans to futurely release versions of Terraria for the
  Xbox 360 and iOS-enabled devices, such as the iPhone.​
• What are some of the features the developers plan to add to the game in the future?
  
  Redigit has expressed that he plans to add complex Player vs. Player modes to the game to
  go side by side with the cooperative options, new NPCs with functions other than selling
  items, different monsters, pets, and more.​
• Is there a way to create my own Terraria server?
  
  Yes. Currently, the tools available to server hosting in-game are very limited and unstable,
  but Redigit has said that he plans to integrate the game completely to the Steam
  infrastructure in the future.
  
  For now, the easiest way to host a server is to follow this guide, that suggests the use of the
  LogMeIn Hamachi tool.​

Nice. Looks great.

Oh, come on...

Thank you for breaking the OP.

Edit: People can post now. The harm's done, haha.

 

[ZZMitch]

Thanks for the great OP!

This game started off slowly for me and I didn't know I would get into it, but it has started to click and now I can't get enough! Just found my first gold vein, so I am not too far a long yet...

 

[The M.O.B]

Edit: People can post now. The harm's done, haha.

haha I was waiting for that, thought you were still adding to it.


Highly recommend this game to everyone.

It costs $10 bucks and you will easily get 20hrs of enjoyment out of it. I'm currently sitting at 30 hours played and have acquired almost every item and a whole week hasn't even passed yet. >_<

 

[Brazil]

haha I was waiting for that, thought you were still adding to it.

It'd be the awesomest thing ever if a mod deleted that post in the middle.

 

[Truth101]

Nice. Looks great. A bit amateurish though, but I'll try it.

By the way I waited to say this, but I saw all of your stealth edits.

Pics or it didn't happen

- I assume you posted in the wrong thread

Looks great, I'll have to try it out

- You realized you posted in the wrong thread and are now trying to cover it up.

Nice. Looks great. A bit amateurish though, but I'll try it.

- Now that you are actually looking at the game you offer your honest opinion of it.

That is all.

Spoiler

If none of this is a valid assessment then I am sad =[

I noticed that too, im guessing he didn't mean to post so it is an innocent mistake.

 

[Grinchy]

Nice work, as always! I plan to get some responsible things done for the day before I jump back in. I haven't even gotten to play much since getting my grapple.

 

[Brazil]

Thank you, mysterious mod.

 

[Im_Special]

The Official Terraria Wiki is actually up and running now, might want to add that to OP.

 

[BurningNad]

I went balls deep into hell today, and farmed all the hellstone and obsidian I needed for a full Molten set and the Flamerang. Also got a Sunfury, which is fucking awesome. SO FUCKING AWESOME.

Great OT!

Edit: Spelling

 

[Femmeworth]

People should buy this, it's worth the $10. I would compare the experience to Demon's Souls, except it can potentially suck way, way much more of your time. D: Also, hopefully it will keep getting updated and receive new content over time.

 

[L00P]

Having the Eye of Cthulhu appear while I'm in a goblin invasion is just balls

 

[Femmeworth]

It being able to fly through walls is complete bullshit. Not even Demon's Souls is that unfair.

Interesting, haha. I checked it two hours ago and it wasn't working.

I'll add a link.

 

[mokeyjoe]

I still can't find iron!!!!

I've got like 30 bars of gold now but still no iron! I'm desperately in need of a chest now, my inventory has been full for about 2 hours. No anvil either so my equipment sucks still. Is it always this rare or have I just lucked out with my map?

 

[bernardobri]

Is there any way to get this running in OS X?

I was in the same situation, so frustrating. There is a program out there to generate a map of your world.

http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/terraria-map-viewer.4226/
Should probably go in the OP.

 

[Noogy]

I can say at this moment that Terraria is my GOTY so far. And it runs great on really old hardware (very notebook friendly).

Not sure if it helps or not, but if you happen to find a chest underground you can smash it with a hammer to pick it up (after emptying it). It does seem kinda strange to find more gold than iron, didn't have that problem on my map.

 

[Dandare4444]

I've barely stopped playing this since i bought it wednesday night. Can't get enough. The book i was reading must be feeling mighty neglected by now!!

 

[Ether_Snake]

This game being 2D will inherently make it easier for the devs to add content to, with few constraints that a 3D game would normally have. I think it has a bright future.

 

[Salsa]

I already got everything and went to all the environments in two different worlds, one big, one small.

Waiting on more content

You played too much too fast!

I've sunk about 8 hours in and only have gold tools and some gold weapons. I do have the enchanted boomerang (super useful), the cloud in a bottle, and the lucky horseshoe, but that's about it. It takes a ton of metal to make armor though, so I'm only rocking iron/copper armor except for a silver helmet which I've currently swapped for the mining helmet.

The horseshoe I found on a floating island (convenient). Beyond that is what I'm pretty sure is the underground jungle which in my world has an entrance on the surface.

I'm actually a little stuck at the moment. I've hit some lava pools in my deepest recesses which I suppose I should turn into obsidian by channeling some water, but that will be a bit tricky. Another item would really give me a boost. Otherwise I think the best course of action would be to just start digging an organized tunnel, rather than just following the ore/gems/caves.

 

[NBtoaster]

'Defeated' the Eater of Worlds last night. Killed almost every NPC in my town, and me several times, but then died by itself. Does it take damage from sunlight or something?

 

[L00P]

Holy shit I just beat the Eye of Cthulhu!!!! I feel so badass jumping around in my town's rooftops trying to take it out with my enchanted boomerang! I never would've beaten it without this thing!

I love this game so much!!!!

 

[Freyjadour]

Defeated Eater of Worlds twice. First time I died and then promptly received a message that "Eater of Worlds has been defeated!" I'm pretty sure that a Meteor took it out but I have no idea. Fought another and got Shadow Greaves and enough Demonite to make my Nightmare Pick. I'll try to farm a few more pieces of Shadow and Meteor gear before heading down into Hell and making my Molten set.

Really great game, just a few irritating spots if you don't want to Rambo a bunch of obsidian and hellstone.

 

[TheExecutive]

Saweet. Love this game. Love the OT. Too bad the world is ending today or was it supposed to happen already?

 

[Speculator]

Anyone up for a 4 pack B)?

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

EDIT: All copies have been spoken for.

So in honor of the OT2 going up I've got 3 copies of the game to give away on Steam. The first 3 people who ask will get a copy. Enjoy!

I don't need a copy, but that's incredibly generous of you.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

slidewinder, theMrCravens, and Stahsky please go ahead an pm me your Steam accounts and I will gift your copies to you. Congratulations!

 

[Spat_triate]

I would love a free copy good sir

edit: dang it! too late. GAF is so generous.

 

[Hawkian]

Great OT, thanks for putting this together!

My updated list of improvements:

1. Loads more cool items
2. Improved UI
3. Improved full screen graphics
4. A trophy case type thing to showcase special loot that can't be used
5. Multiplayer lobbies

I'm kinda getting used to the spawn rates. Yes it can get frustrating but it makes the game more challenging.

Called it on page 7 of the other thread!

-Enemy spawn rate... okay, look. I have a feeling the people in this thread are going to get used to this spawn rate really quickly and just get good at the game despite it. As a result, if difficulty settings are ever added to Terraria, I bet the way it is now will be the "Normal" setting or else we'd all feel like the game was a cakewalk on Normal.

 

[Stahsky]

slidewinder, theMrCravens, and Stahsky please go ahead an pm me your Steam accounts and I will gift your copies to you. Congratulations!

Posting here to just let everyone know how awesome Jak is. Many thanks dude!

 

[slidewinder]

Got mine, too! Thanks very much JakOfTheShadows, looking forward to checking this out!

 

[theMrCravens]

slidewinder, theMrCravens, and Stahsky please go ahead an pm me your Steam accounts and I will gift your copies to you. Congratulations!

Huge thank you for your generosity.

Only reason I won is because I was about to reply to join in on the 4-pack.

Lucky day, and still no rapture.

 

[Grinchy]

I don't claim to be an expert on this game, but I really don't have much of an issue with the spawn rates yet. Maybe things get worse as you go on but I don't think I'd have as much fun if I didn't constantly have that feeling of tension. It's the same reason that mining in Minecraft can be fun. You are always afraid of what's around that dark corner.

 

[Jokey665]

the spawn rate has really only bothered me in dungeons and in hell, but that's more because the enemies there are just fucking obnoxious.

 

[xelios]

the spawn rate has really only bothered me in dungeons and in hell, but that's more because the enemies there are just fucking obnoxious.

I found the spawn rates on the Eater of Souls and Fire Imps to be really overboard. That's about it. Sometimes the black & mother slimes in the mid caves can get ridiculous.

 

[Kalnos]

Dungeon was easy. Having 3 bone serpents attacking you with 2 fire imps is a little much, though.

tell me about it, I just want to mine but then I get bone serpents and fire imps all over me.

 

[Goon Boon]

Huh, apparently the Terraria devs got mad at a joke review from that best gamers site and did one of those dmca takedowns on it. So thats a thing.
