Dig, fight, explore, build! Nothing is impossible in this action-packed adventure game. The world is your canvas and the ground itself is your paint.
Grab your tools and go! You can do many things in Terraria: make weapons and fight off a variety of enemies in numerous biomes, dig deep underground to find accessories, money, and other useful things, gather wood, stone, ores, and other resources to create everything you need to make the world your own and defend it. Build a house, a fort, even a castle, and people will move in to live there and perhaps even sell you different wares to assist you on your journey. But beware, there are even more challenges awaiting you... Are you up to the task?

I had heard a lot about this game seeing as I'm a huge Minecraft fan and decided to buy it a couple of weeks ago.

I am absolutely addicted.

This is the place to discuss the game and set up multiplayer sessions.

The game sold 432k in one month

man that is impressive

Very impressive indeed.

Hopefully the huge updates keep coming. I love all the new additions that are added....... Except those damn bats.

have no intentions of buying but that thing been on the top of steam best sellers since release.

is this the next minecraft??

Looks a tad... Rudimentary.

I'll give it a shot, though, but not yet. The last thing I need right now is getting addicted to a game.

If that's the case, I suggest you stay well clear of this game, until you have time for such an addiction.

I've been hooked since I started playing it. It's way more addictive then Minecraft.
The maps, even the small ones, are absolutely huge, there is tons to discover.

The only negative I have is it was a bit of a chore getting multiplayer to work, you need to forward the right port or it won't work. I haven't figured out yet how to get 2 pc's running multiplayer to an outside server.

I just finished my irrigation project to drain the ocean into an underground lava lake, finally managed to defeat the first boss and still feel I've barely scratched the surface after 25 hours.

I use Hamachi for multiplayer. It was pretty easy to set up.

I wonder how big a sales boost this got during the Steam sale. Surely $4.90 was too good to refuse.
