Overview
I have put many hours into Terraria, starting out with only the most basic of tools, but winding up with massive bases, fully- stocked storage, and dangerous areas I should’ve avoided in the first place. That’s part of why it is so much fun. The generation of new worlds mean each one offers entirely unique places to discover. Terraria combine building, combat, exploration, and crafting into one open ended adventure you can tailor yourself.

What is Terraria
Terraria is a 2d sandbox game with lots of elements from the action-adventure genre developed by Re-Logic. In the game world generation creates new worlds for you to use for playing. Those worlds contain lots of new and exciting things like underground caves full of treasure and hostile enemies, new environments for you to build your base around, and many other neat things to do.

How Terraria Works
When you are first starting Terraria you get a couple of basic tools that you can begin using to carve out the starting area of your choice. When mining you will need to break down a certain percentage of blocks in the underground of Terraria to get more ores, precious metals, new items for you to obtain treasure, fight enemies, and obtain certain items for crafting. This is why as you get more high-up equipment such as arms and armor, you can make more progress, take on different enemies, explore areas that are a lot riskier, and take on a variety of boss fights.
