    Terraria's mix of creative crafting and endless exploration will keep you rapt for weeks. But a lack of multiplayer and some wonky touchscreen controls let the experience down.

    The preeminent 2D crafting game comes to mobile at last, but in a world where those inspired by it have already taken root, is it worth the time?

    For fans who already play and love Terraria on another platform, the iOS port is a decent supplement if you need a fix away from home. But due to control issues and the lack of multiplayer, a supplement for the real thing is all it will be.

Mobile controls may be a bit finicky, but with time and patience, you can get used to them. Terraria is quite difficult, with the endgame being a gauntlet of fights.


    People compare Terraria to Minecraft a lot, when really, they aren’t alike at all. Terraria worlds are more of a short-term thing, with limited size and the constant threat of the corruption slowly eating away at your world. If you want to use a world long term, it’s possible to cut off the corruption, but it’s VERY time consuming.

    Terraria has a heavy focus on progression and combat, with building just being an extra. If building is all you truly care about, however, Journey Mode allows you to duplicate materials, and has a Godmode, allowing you to completely ignore all forms of damage.

For games like Terraria a big display is a must and the whole control system is a little bit weird on IOS. So if you play on PC, don't try IOS version, you'll be disappointed. Full Review »
