I was very dubious when I first heard of Terraria, even to the point of dismissing it as a 2d clone of Minecraft. While there are similarities, Terraria is far more combat focused, giving you a plethora of weaponry at your disposal. Minecraft only offers a sword and bow as weapons. Terraria has flails, great-swords, handguns, rifles, and lightsabers!
The world generation is truly random and can be quite the pull for those that love sandbox adventures. The colors and design of the various crafts and blocks make for nearly infinite designs, and you can even rig traps for monsters!
The way that Terraria excels is not only in its 2D take, but the sheer amount of WORLD there is. Sure, minecraft has an infinite map, but all the biomes feel like slight variations on each other. Terraria has distinct folliage, enemies, materials, and blocks within every level of itself.
Right now, its less than $3! Totally a steal!
