Terraria

Terraria combines elements of classic action games with sandbox-style creativity. Players are placed in a world they can dig into, explore and reshape, with the aim of surviving and gathering resources. The player decides how to progress, whether by seeking treasure and raw materials underground, taking on stronger enemies in combat, or building structures.

Core play centres on digging, fighting, exploring and building. Materials found in the world are used to craft gear, machinery and decorative items, which develop as the player advances. Players can also build a city to house the non-player characters they meet during their travels.

Key features listed for the game include sandbox play, randomly generated worlds and free content updates. Because each world is generated randomly and the direction of play is left to the player, individual playthroughs can differ considerably from one another.
