Terraria

Love this game. And I’ve only ever played this on mobile version because I love the two finger controls. And once the new update came, with controls similar to PC or console, I worried. The new controls for mobile make no sense considering that it’s MOBILE and not PC or console. They make it so you would need like 5 fingers at once to operate it as well as you could when the old controls were used. A couple things much harder to control are using auto weapons, and even just moving and jumping in general. Now, you have to use a separate button to do each task. Which isn’t very ideal, considering it’s a game you should easily be able to play with only two thumbs. Overall, I don’t think it would be necessary to change back to the old controls for good, because I know that there is no chance that that I’ll happen, but perhaps have there be an option to play with new controls or old controls. This way, people who are used to one or the other wouldn't have to adapt so drastically. Another solution could be to just alter the new controls to be cleaner to operate, and also a little less cluttered. Even though you can change the size, they clutter the screen. And if you make them smaller, it makes for an even more difficult gameplay. Please don’t take this as bashing the whole game, because controls are only a fraction of the game. But are a very crucial fraction, in ensuring that everyone has a smooth, easy, fun, and engaging.

So for me, someone who has over 300 hours on Terraria on PC, I thought I’d might as well give this game a try. $4.99 later, here I am with this game. Overall, a pretty good port, sporting the 1.2 update from the PC. The game looks great, controls... aren’t the best but useable, and the tutorial is a relatively good place to start off from, and does a good job at explaining the first part of the game, one thing the PC edition doesn’t have. I have a couple gripes with the game though. First, the inventory and crafting interfaces look overcrowded and can be pretty overwhelming for example when you aren’t familiar with the game. Organizing your inventory is pretty tedious, and definitely needs a redesign. Another thing, is that on phones, you only have 5 hot bar slots, and the game is zoomed in so much that you can only see about 10-15 tiles or so in front of you, and your hearts are super tiny. However, when playing on iPad, you get 10 hot-bar slots and a much more zoomed-out view of the world, somewhere around 40 blocks around you, which makes for a much better gaming experience, and because of the bigger screen, inventory managing is slightly easier, but same problems as the phone. Anyway, that’s about it on my opinion of the game, and I would say definitely pick up a copy if you have five bucks lying around. Hoping the devs fix these issues with the next update. Thanks for reading, have a good one. ✌️

Terraria is one of my personal favorite games that I have been playing for almost five years (I’m pretty sure) but there is something that needs fixing. 1) I live this game but one of my least favorite issues is how unstable the game can be. My files in local get deleted for some random reason (mostly talking about my main account. RIP) but most of the profiles that I made from a long time ago are the ones that get corrupted. 2) this is just something I’ve been kinda annoyed by but... PLEASE JUST RELEASE 1.3 MOBILE! I’ve been waiting sooooooooo long for it and it just won’t come out. I’m getting bored by just dying from plantera a bunch of times because that’s all I can do. I don’t care how unstable the version is and how many bug fixes you will need to fix. I just want 1.3 guys. 3) the controls could use some upgrading. They glitch out when I’m building in the middle of the screen and moving with the left joystick. I don’t know if that’s just my screen or terraria. END) I do truly love this game and I really think anyone with a brain (of cuthulu) should get this game! I’m just trying to share my thoughts and feelings about this game and not hate on the game here. Please try too be quick with this update so my terra blade can destroy more hard mode enemies! Sub to my yt channel Pixelmangames (sorry if I’m not allowed to say that) and good luck 505 games and whoever else is helping develop the game! 👌👍

I love this game and have played it for a very long time and as much as I want to give it 5 stars I cant! I am extremely upset that the developers decided to remove the only things that distinguished the mobile app from the PC version. The horn o' plenty was an amazing way for players who had progressed far in the game to not have to spend time gathering/keeping a stock of potions. Also, removing a major endgame boss completely as well as the items even slightly related to him such as spectral armor (which I would be satisfied if the armor was preserved to be used just in vanity form) seems like such a waste... I know theres so much more content with the new update but all of my favorite items were removed and for what? To allow for an easier transition to cross platform play... in maybe 3 more years when the new mobile terraria update comes out? The mobile exclusive items could just be added to pc if that was the case. Or maybe its more difficult than that, I dont know how difficult that would be since im not a programmer of any kind but thats just my 2 cents. This review should not be taken as a hate review! Simply a suggestion to the developers. I gave this app 4 stars for a reason! This app was my childhood and im sure my 4 stars wont even make the slightest scratch in this apps prestine rating (and thats not my intention). Thanks for reading my insanely long review/rant and I hope the developers can take this to heart!

I have been a long time fan since, well… Quite a few years. I’ve played this on my iPad for three years and it stopped working eventually over time but that’s not one of the main problems, it’s just a sidenote. I play this game a lot so my favorite games to play I am in my car going somewhere BTW I do not drive I am 14. I’ve always loved the simplicity of the to joystick layout but since the most recent update the joystick light has become super complex what complex then I can get used to. I’ve already come up with a good idea and a way to stop this confusion. Make the joystick system in the inventory system optional. What I mean by that is if someone wants just the simple joysticks, Then they should be able to customize their layout to their needs like if they only want a couple of the extra buttons like the grappling hook button that’s fun. But does it that’s just a few of the problems that I want to talk about today. But overall this game is great and I think you should give it a try, especially if you have five dollars laying around and there’s no in game purchases either, so that’s fun you have to do this whole game you can still get assistance from random people who join and give you like the best armor in the game or something but that’s not a common thing. Overall still this is a great game like I said before great purchase of a five bucks laying around.
