'''''Terraria''''' is a 2D ] ] video game developed by Re-Logic. The game was initially released for ] in May 2011, and was later ported and released for ], ], ], ], and ] in 2013, for ], ], and ] in 2014, for ], ], and ] in 2015, and for ] in 2016.

The game features exploration, crafting, construction, and combat with a variety of creatures in a ] ] world. The game received positive reviews from critics, and over 18 million copies of ''Terraria'' were sold by July 2016.

== Gameplay ==
]
''Terraria'' is a ] ] game with gameplay that revolves around exploration, building, and combat.<ref name="gamespotreview" /><ref name="Kotaku2011" /> The game has a 2D ] tile-based graphical style reminiscent of the 16-bit sprites found on the ].<ref name="Kotaku2011" /> The game is noted for its classic exploration-adventure style of gameplay, similar to titles such as the '']'' series and '']''.<ref name="Kotaku2011" /><ref name="destructoid1" /><ref name="wired1" />

The game starts in a ] world. The player starts with three basic tools: a pickaxe for mining, a shortsword for combat, and an axe for woodcutting.<ref name="gamespotreview" /> Many resources, notably ores, can be found while mining or exploring underground caves. The player begins with 100 health, which can eventually be increased up to 500 by finding special items underground.<ref name="gamespotreview" /> Some resources, and most items, may only be found in certain areas of the map, stored in common and rare containers, or dropped by certain enemies.<ref name="gamespotreview" /> The player uses resources to craft new items and equipment at an appropriate crafting station for that recipe. For example, tables or other items can be crafted at a work bench, and bars can be smelted from ore at a furnace. Several advanced items in ''Terraria'' require multiple crafting operations where the product of one recipe is used as an ingredient for another.

The player can encounter many different enemies in ''Terraria'' such as simple slimes, zombies, demon eyes, and various region-specific enemies. The occurrence of certain enemies depends on several factors including time, location, random events, and player interactions.<ref name="gamespotreview" /> The player can fight against enemies with swords, bows, guns, magic spells, and other weapons. Each world will have several zones with unique items and unusual enemies.

The player may also battle ] with a number of different combat mechanics, such as the Eye of ] or The Twins, that can drop rare items and large amounts of in-game currency. All bosses can be summoned by using certain items, destroying blocks through the world, or randomly when certain criteria are met. Several of the bosses can spawn naturally in certain places and times. The defeat of these bosses is often tied to in-game progression. For example, the Dungeon is inaccessible before Skeletron's defeat. If you need the dungeon before defeating Skeletron, a Dungeon Gaurdian (a spinning Skeletron head) will attack you and unless you have full defence, will one shot you.

Occasionally, the player will have to defend their base against invasions such as the Goblin Army, or against events that affect the entire world, such as the Solar Eclipse. In these events players must defeat either a set amount of enemies, or last the duration of a full day or night cycle until the event concludes.

By completing specific goals (such as defeating a boss or obtaining a gun), players can attract ]s (NPCs) to occupy structures or rooms they have built, such as a merchant, nurse, or wizard.<ref name="gamespotreview" /> Some NPCs can be acquired by finding them throughout the world and will then reside in the player's house. Players may then buy or sell items and certain services from NPCs with coins found in the world. Other examples of NPCs include the clothier, the truffle (a sentient mushroom), the guide (who spawns upon the creation of a world), the steampunk, arms dealer, tavernkeep, and the tax collector. Some NPCs cannot currently be found in the mobile versions of the game.

The game includes a currency system in the form of coins that can be primarily used to complete transactions with NPCs. Coins can be obtained by slaying monsters, finding treasure, and selling items to NPCs.

The player is able to construct contraptions made from wires and mechanisms collected around the world or purchased from NPCs. These systems allow for easier gameplay and gaining the upper hand in combat by performing helpful tasks such as disguising buildings, instantly teleporting the player long distances, and dealing damage to enemies. These machines can also be randomly generated underground and in dungeons where they can harm reckless players.

The game recognizes many different ]s and areas, defined by the blocks that exist in the vicinity, each home to a unique set of enemies. The most prominent biomes on the world map are the Forest, Jungle, Desert, Snow, the Hallow, the Dungeon, Oceans, the Underworld, and the two evil, corrupted biomes known as the Corruption and the Crimson. However, only one of these evil biomes will appear naturally in a world. Other minor biomes exist and affect the variety of enemies that spawn, expanding the list to include: Floating Islands, Spider Nests, Outer Space, Glowing Mushroom Caves, Granite Caves, Marble Caves, and the Lihzahrd Temple. Some of the biomes have bosses associated with them such as the Dungeon (Skeletron) and the Lihzahrd Temple (Golem).

The Corruption and Crimson biomes gradually spread across the world and expand faster once entering Hardmode, converting many normal block types to their Corruption or Crimson counterparts. The Hallow acts as a good equivalent to the world's evil biome, and will also spread across the world. Both the Hallow and the evil biomes cannot spread over each other, over empty space, or over blocks with no biome equivalent. These biomes can also merge with some other biomes to form hybrid biomes (e.g., Corrupted Desert, Hallowed Ice) with unique enemies and blocks. The evil biomes will slowly convert the Jungle into plain Corruption or Crimson, but the Hallow cannot convert it.

If the player journeys to the Underworld and summons and defeats a boss there called the Wall of Flesh, the game enters "hardmode". Hardmode causes drastic changes to the player's world.<ref name="pcgamer_1.1" /> A much larger part of the world becomes corrupted by the world's evil biome and the new Hallow biome emerges. The Hallow and Corruption/Crimson biomes also spread much more quickly over the player's world until the boss Plantera's defeat, which slows down the rate of growth to 33% of its original speed. This change to hardmode also adds many new and much stronger enemies throughout the world, as well as new NPCs, bosses, ores, and items available for crafting or acquiring from enemies and boss drops.

Three new bosses you can fight upon entering Hardmode are the Destroyer, the Twins, and Skeletron Prime, which are upgraded mechanical versions of the pre-hardmode bosses Eater of Worlds, Eye of Chithu and Skeletron. Once the player defeats all the mechanical bosses, an ore called clorophyte and pink bulbs will start to spawn in the underground jungle. Destroying one of the bulbs will summon Plantera, a giant plant-like boss that chases and shoots deadly thorns at the player. Defeating Plantera will drop a Temple Key which can be used to grant access to the Lihzahrd Temple located in the jungle. Defeating Plantera will also grant the player access to the Cyborg NPC.

The Lihzard Temple is made out of almost indestructible lizhard bricks. Inside the Lihzahrd Temple, there is always an Lihzahrd altar which can be used to summon the next boss, Golem. However, to summon Golem, the player will need a power cell which can be found in chests or rarely be dropped by Lihzahrd enemies. Golem is a giant stone-like statue with retractable hands and a head that can shoot powerful lasers and fireballs.

After the Golem is defeated, new NPCs appear outside the Dungeon called Cultists.<ref name=changelog1.3 /> The Cultists will not attack the player unless provoked. If they are killed, their leader, a boss called the Lunatic Cultist, will appear and attack the player. Upon defeat of this boss, four space-themed ]es called the Stardust, Vortex, Nebula, and Solar Pillars will appear throughout the world, and the player is free to destroy them in any order. The pillars do not attack the player directly, but they are defended by powerful enemies. After the fourth pillar is destroyed, the final boss, the Moon Lord, will attack the player. Upon defeating the Moon Lord, the player will have beaten the game's main storyline.

The game also features an expert mode difficulty.<ref name=changelog1.3 /> Enabled when creating a world, expert mode increases the difficulty of the game by doubling the health and attack of monsters and bosses, further increasing the strength of weaker enemies after hardmode, giving the bosses new attack patterns, decreasing the effectiveness of life regeneration, and other tweaks. To deal with the higher attack damages of expert mode the defense statistic is more effective than in normal mode. In addition to the higher difficulty level, expert mode increases the chance for enemies to drop rare items, and adds new items that can only be obtained by defeating the bosses on expert mode.
