Terraria is a 2D side-scrolling
game developed and published by Re-Logic for multiple platforms. Most people believe it is a rip-off of the
popular sandbox
game Minecraft, but neither has ripped off the other really. This misconception is carried around much too often.
Contrary to popular belief, Terraria has mods just like Minecraft, people seem to not do their research into that. Also, it has many more elements than Minecraft. More potions and a story progression is more of what makes this
game stand out from Minecraft.
Even though there is no creative mode or other dimensions (like Minecraft's Nether) in Terraria, there are classes you can play as; melee, ranged,
magic, and summoner. And the bosses require you to employ actual strategy instead of spamming your
bow and arrows over and over again. (Speaking of which, Terraria has, along with more than one
bow, guns as well.)
Though most people take a side of either Terraria or Minecraft (and I may sound like the Terraria side,
ngl) but the truth is, neither is '
better' than the other. They are both sandbox games created with pixels and a development team. And while Minecraft may gain slightly more attention than Terraria, both are amazing games regardless of the audience range and size.
Me: I'm gonna play Terraria.
Annoying Eavesdropper: Ew, Terraria! Play Minecraft, where there's actually mods.
Me: You might want to do some internet research into the mods
thing. And I also play Minecraft, thank you very much. Both these games are successful. Not that I can guarantee you'll be, anyway.
