Errrm, TERRARIA, DUDES, TERRARIA - review

I want to point out, that this review is made by a friend of mine - KeReMiD4O.

He FREACKIN loves this game and I thought it was better if he has written it.

What is Terraria? Some might say it's like Minecraft, but those who have played it will say it's nothing of the sort. Sure it has mining, crafting and exploring - it's partly a Minecraft clone, but Terraira has bosses, magic, events and etc.
Once you start the game, you have a bunch of options. The standart options menu, single and multiplayer. One thing I love about this game is, that if you are playing on a server, or have played on a server, you can continue playing on the same map in single player, or create your own. No need for a separate server client to host - just start the game once, go to multiplayer, select the map and start it. To join - start the game once more and join your server using ip localhost. It's just that simple.
All you get are 2 tools - a Pickaxe and an Axe. The Pickaxe is used to mine almost everything in the game (except wood and walls). Collect wood, make a home and fight off enemies trying to get to you. When it's day, you get these little gello looking things called "slimes". They are harmless untill you hit them. Once you hit them they will try to kill you. You better have a home or a safe place before nightfall, because at night ZOMBIEZ come out and try to kill you. Depending on choice, you can either kill them for fun, or start digging. Trust me, digging is b-o-o-o-o-ring, so go and kill zombies.
Eventually, you will need to dig in order to find chests with loot in them, or to get resources to craft items.
Forgot to mention one thing, there is a Guide that helps a lot. It tells you what to do and what happens later in the game. Later in the game that Guide is annoying as he opens the doors and lets zombies inside. So it's a good idea to block the door with a... block. There are events in the game like Blood moon, which makes the zombies more powerfull and they break down doors trying to get to you, Goblin Invasion, which is what the name says - a lot of goblins trying to get to you(don't worry, this happens later in the game).
There are only 3 bosses in the game(for now).

Eye of Cthulhu(as you can see me and a friend are fighting it...):

 

Eater of Worlds 

And there is Skeletron 

A few words about the interface. Nice and clean, nothing more needed. The inventory can be bigger, but that's just me. I like to carry lots of stuff. I had some problems with finding out how to join parties, since there was no guide on how to do that, but I found it out by accident (for those who don't know, it's the colors right of the inventory - for multiple players, click the same color to be in the same party). Some people may have problems understanding how PVP works, like some of my friends, but they will figure that out eventually. If you want to fight someone, you both need to have PVP enabled, you enable it by clicking on the swords - the swords cross and the game displays a text message saying PVP is enabled.

OVERALL I love the simplicity of the interface and how you can craft with ease. One thing that can be added is an option to enable all the recepies in the crafting menu. Meaning, that you will know what you need and what you can craft even if you don't have the items/tools needed. If you are missing something it should have a cross over it or an indication of some sort. If a crafting table/alchemy station is needed, it would say what it needs in order for you to craft the item. Just a brief look at the inventory:

It's fun but it has it's flaws and once you play the game enough and get all the items, it gets boring. You can start a new character, or try to combine bosses in pairs, play with friends, but that just isn't enough sometimes.

WE ARE IN A DESPERATE NEED OF A DLC - which will hopefully come soon.

Well, that was a nice read I must say. It really gets you going if you haven't played the game. To tell you the truth I like this game, just I don't because I'm scared it will enslave me, like Minecraft did. But everyone choses his own choices.
