Terraria is an action-adventure/RPG indie game released by independent game studio Re-Logic. The game features exploration, crafting, construction, and combat with a variety of creatures in a randomly generated 2-d world.

Terraria is noted for its similarity to Minecraft and classic exploration-adventure titles such as Metroid. Basic gameplay features day & night cycles, nocturnal & subterranean attackers, world-building elements, and character advancement. The game has a tile-based graphical style reminiscent of the 16-bit sprites found on the SNES.

At character creation, each PC has a copper axe, a copper pickaxe, and a copper shortsword. They start out with 100 health. When the character first spawns in a new world, an NPC, the Guide, appears nearby to explain the basics of gameplay.

There are three character difficulties: Softcore, Mediumcore, and Hardcore. They vary only in death penalties. In Softcore, characters drop half their coins. In Mediumcore, characters drop all their items including coins and ammo. In Hardcore, characters drop all their items and become ghosts, unable to alter the world. After disconnecting the ghost character is removed from the selection screen.

Beyond basic gameplay features, Terraria has several elements not present in the games it takes its inspiration from. By completing specific goals (such as defeating a boss, or gaining an extra heart), characters can attract NPCs to occupy structures or rooms they have built, including the Merchant, Dryad, Demolitionist, Arms Dealer, Clothier, Nurse, Mechanic, Wizard, Goblin Tinkerer, and Santa Claus. Santa Claus is only available during the Christmas holiday season (December 15-31). Some NPCs need to be unlocked by finding them and talking to them first. Characters may then buy equipment or misc items with coins gained from defeating monsters, selling items, breaking pots, or finding treasure chests hidden within the world.

As for if theres any other way to play besides on a PC, Im not sure.

Personally speaking, I was not really a fan of Terraria. I've been playing it since it came out, and none of the updates that followed sparked my interest much. I think it's because Minecraft got to me first. But, as much as I am not really a fan, I can see why a lot of people like it. It has that 2-D sidescrolling charm that you just don't see nowadays.

So guess what I just realized after months of not playing. All of my stuff is gone, my characters, worlds, everything. Is there any way to get it back??

At first I wasn't really interested in this game, but after awihle it got really fun finding items that were important to the game like cloud in a bottle or Hermes boots.

I bought this when it was on sale, haven't gotten around to giving it a good play though.

Go see bro team pill terraria on youtube

Man, I haven`t played this in months, It was a good game, but after you get the best armor and weapons it gets very boring.

>>7 As does any game.

epic!!!!!

When you buy this game, is a physical copy sent to your address, or just a file able to be downloaded and played? With no need to install from a CD?

Its a nonphysical copy. Has to be downloaded, but if you dont forget your steam account stuff you can redownload it on any comp you like.

Gnum

werw

Sleep, Thiamor, wanna play some Terraria with me some time? Like from scratch or something? I could easily put up a server.

I've not bought it yet. If I get more money on Paypal, I might. Brother finally accepted the last 15 dollars on it.

>>14 sure
>>15 right this now

From what I last heard the programmer/coder left since he got a job to work on Bioshock Infinite I think? I can't remember. I do remember hearing that there are no more patches coming. Has there been any changes on that?

Nope, no more patches. Mods being made, but no patches.

Any good mods you'd recommend?

Uhmmmm. No, I havent tried any out, but theres one with 3 more hard mode bosses, and either the same or a different one with a new type of weapons via different ore. Could check the names

We should just play King Arthur's Gold together. I have it, and the free version is, well...free. Not much differences in the full version, other than different faces, and game modes. I have the full version, so I know.

>>21 I keep forgetting to try that

You should still get terraria thiamor

"No Money" to get it.

Oh, guess I misinterpreted your last thing about paypal and whatnot

I just started playing and it's pretty fun. Who else plays?

tried to get to the bottom of the earth and fell to my death

Yeah, on games like those they call that the 'void' where the map ends. So to keep people from glitching the game in anyway they added an instant kill void spot.

Boy do I wish I had known that sooner cuz i list all my money. I had over an hour of time in just digging. I also got a trophy for surviving the red moon but I missed it because I was underground.

This must be something new.. or something only xbox has, because there was never a void in my maps, just bottoms

>>36 i play on PS3. I did Eventually hit the ground but it really took a while.

wasnt even aware they ported it to ps3 as well, neato

>>38 if i recall right it happened earlier this month or last month.

This game is A LOT harder when its in hard mode.

Thats what safes are for^

>>47 i don't care about the money truthfully.

>>48 get a safe, put everything in it, be sad no more. The safes are character bound, so even if one is melted by lava you can just buy another n all the stuff in it will still be there

A friend helpes me beat the w.o.f and ger to hard mode and even got me all adamantite armor and sword and when i played agein my armor and sword was gone.
