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.

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.
