Terraria

Terraria is a 2D platformer, in which the players can freely modify the world around them. This game from the indie developer Re-Logic is sometimes referred to as "2D Minecraft" since it lets you influence your environment in a similar manner.

The game sends us to a 2D land, giving us a few basic tools to begin with. From that moment on, we have only ourselves and our ingenuity to rely upon. We can dig in the ground, searching for resources, plant vegetation, discover new locations, fight various enemies, create objects and even build our own strongholds and houses. Impressive magnitude of possibilities and dangers makes each playthrough a different experience, because the world is created by the player.

The world of Terraria is randomly generated – players will never visit the exact same location twice. Almost all elements of the environment are fully destructible and removable – it's a way for us to gather the materials needed to build things, and also how we shape the landscape. While travelling the world, we have to remember to protect ourselves from numerous enemies. The same goes for the weapons – we craft our weapons ourselves, and we have many options to choose from. We can use swords, rifles, grenades and dozens of other imaginative gadgets to defeat goblins, flying eyeballs or other wicked creatures.

Players can visit the distinctive world of Terraria solo or together with friends. By inviting other people to our game, we can gain allies to help us in combat and we get more hands to help build our strongholds or whatever other things we'd like.
