Terraria is a 2D sandbox game with gameplay that revolves around exploration, building, crafting, combat, and mining, playable in both singleplayer and multiplayer modes.
Gameplay[]
The game starts in a generated world. The player starts out with three basic tools: a pickaxe for digging, a sword for combat, and an axe for woodcutting. Many resources, notably ores, can be found while exploring caves. The player begins with 100 HP and 20 Mana (blue stars) which can both be increased by finding certain items
Enemies[]
The player can encounter many different enemies in Terraria, such as simple slime blobs, zombies, skeletons, demon eyes, and various biome specific enemies. The occurrence of certain enemies depends on several factors including time, location, random events, and player interactions. The player can fight against enemies with swords, bows, guns, magic spells, and summoned attackers. The player may also bosses with a number of different combat mechanics that can drop rare items and large amounts of in-game currency.
NPCs[]
By completing specific goals, such as defeating a boss or obtaining a certain item, players can attract NPCs to occupy structures or rooms they have built, such as a merchant, nurse, or wizard. Some NPCs can be acquired by finding them throughout the world and will then reside in the player's house like the wizard or the mechanic. Players may then buy or sell items and certain services from NPCs with coins found in the world. These coins include copper, silver, gold, and platinum.
