Terraria for Windows

Classic and light-weight adventure game

Terraria is a very well constructed action-adventure game with plenty of features that make it a must-have for players that don’t need exceptional graphics. This title is not for everyone; the difficulty might turn away some players.

Take on the monsters

All the different combinations of items, be it common or rare, will provoke your creative side and the hoarder in you that you didn’t know was there.

Jump into a world full of wonders, magic, and places to explore. Your character isn’t very customizable, but your experiences will always be unique. There’s no need to monitor hunger or oxygen, which are ever present in other similar titles. But, you’ll need to stay on top of a plethora of other things. Exploring this game requires hours upon hours of time.

Terraria is endlessly replayable. Add multiplayer to the mix, and you’ve got yourself a game you can play for years without even the scent of boredom. All the different combinations of items, be it common or rare, will provoke your creative side and the hoarder in you that you didn’t know was there. As you progress, you collect items. The more you gather, the more space you’ll need to keep all the stuff.

This is where your base comes in. You need to put together something to call home, and this is where you can put your stuff. If you build the proper accommodations, you’ll be visited by many NPC’s with different goods to offer. And, yes, they will live with you. Be ready for plenty of adventure, be it alone or with a friend, as you explore everything Terraria has to offer.

Where can you run this program?

Terraria runs on Windows, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and 4, iOS, Android, and Mac. It’s a very light piece of software, so it runs on most devices.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Terraria stands out with its unique approach to the survival genre. It takes the boring, repetitive, tasks and throws them out the window. However, Starbound is a similar game with a space theme. If you’re into sci-fi, that will be a good mix for you.

Our take

Terraria is a great game with plenty to enjoy. It’s not for everyone, but it’s safe to say most players will find something to enjoy in its amazing world.

Should you download it?

Yes. You should download it if you have considerable free time to dedicate to it. You’ll be satisfied with what it has to offer when you’ve got enough time to explore it all.
