There doesn’t seem to be a more apt description for Terraria than to call it a 2D, sidescrolling version of the hit game Minecraft. It’s odd – I’ve never been a fan of Minecraft, but I really want to play Terraria. Maybe it’s because the 2D style just appeals to me more, but I can’t really put my finger on it.
Terraria and Minecraft are both available for purchase now!
Oh, and on a related note, someone made an entire Studio Ghibli-themed world in Minecraft, and it’s pretty darn cool.
