Terraria is an action-adventure/RPG indie game released by independent game studio Re-Logic. The game features exploration, crafting, building structures, and combat with a variety of creatures.

It was released on May 16, 2011. The game is estimated to have sold about 50,000 copies during its first day of release, with over 17,000 players online at the same time during the first day's peak.

Gameplay

Terraria is noted for its similarity to Minecraft and classic Nintendo titles such as Metroid. Basic gameplay features day/night cycles, aggressive nocturnal attackers, world-building elements and character advancement based on increases to health/mana and equipment found while exploring. The game has a graphical style reminiscent of the 16-bit sprites found in games released for the Super NES.

The developers plan to offer free content updates in the future.
