I have one ask is that we do not retaliate with any review bombs, or have any flame wars with them in the comment sector of their review.
Minecraft, but side scrolling.
This is a massive misrepresentation of what Terraria is.
Not every game that has mining and crafting is a Minecraft clone.
Terraria is a massive 2d side scrolling action game. It is insanely intricate with hundreds of hours of content and multiple difficulty modes.
You create your own character, highly customizable, and start out with nothing but a few tools. There are dozens of different enemies and about a dozen different bosses in the game, each very unique and challenging.
Instead of character classes, your characters abilities are determined by the armor they choose to wear and the weapons they choose to use. It has SO many weapons-just about everything you can imagine from spells and swords to magical spears, boomerangs, and yoyos and mini guns.
It has many different biomes and a lot of treasure to be found, both high in the sky and deep below.
No 2d sidescroller game has better movement or intense action. It is an absolute must try for anyone who enjoys combat and exploration. You can build stuff and be creative if you want to, but it is by no means the focus of the game.
It has a massive community and a ton of mods as well.
Buying Terraria and giving it a try is a kindness that I hope everyone does for themselves.
ILB has :P
I believe Hugz was replying to Azire's question; Also "2D Minecraft" is how everyone described Terraria before there were more games around to establish this as the 2D sandbox genre.
It really disrespects the creator of this game.
Correcting someone else's terrible comparison of another game is no advertisement, nor is there anything wrong with wholeheartedly reccomending it after it has been mentioned.
I've bought this game and gifted it to others, and I am an active member of the community both here and on discord. Clearly I'm a fan. I can be a fan of more than one thing, and especially two somewhat similar things.
Acknowledging another creator's success and encouraging others to try it is not disrespect, either.
I consider your statement here both petty and more than a little oversensitive. I seriously doubt I'd be hearing this if I were on another game forum and ILB were brought up, and I decided to preach the good word of how awesome It Lurks Below is and how everyone should try it.
I'd expect a lot better from a Mod, especially.
Chill.
Nah, ILB doesn't have many of the movement skills and tools that Terraria has, nor the number of bosses, monsters, or weapons. This will probably change over time,
Again, acknowledging differences is not disrespect.
Anyway, I'll go ahead and drop it here. See you all around.
Likewise I took the latter to mean the intensity of action and combat, not the number of different enemy types.
All in all, I believe that isolated detail comparisons are meaningless unless someone specifically asks for that kind of information - and way too likely to turn into pissing contests. Terraria and ILB are two different games with a different focus that share some common elements. Anyone is free to like any or both of them but nobody has anything to gain from arguing about which game is better.
I love both games wholeheartedly and for separate reasons, and it wasnt my intention to compare the two unfairly.
When I posted, it was specifically to inform one person about a game they were curious about. One offhand comment about what I think about the movement and combat shouldn't outweigh or derail the clear purpose of what I originally wrote. The only direct comparisons I made were in response to your challenge of my subjective opinion, and their only purpose was to clarify why I said what I said, not prove that I was somehow right about something as fluid and unobjective as an opinion.
Any contest here is purely imagination.
See you all later. Bedtime for me.
Cheer up people! 😉😁
