Still trying to round up enough friends for the 4-pack, grumbles. Why is everyone AFK on a Monday evening.

It is different enough, that it feels like a completely different game. I have played a little bit to try it out.

The biggest difference is that "Adventure" is stressed a lot more than "building". There are dozens of different enemy types. Lots of different weapons, fast ones, wide ones, etc. I heard they have bosses and special enemy zones too, but I didn't see those.

On the other hand, you cannot build a mega structure like you can in Minecraft, climb a mountain far away and admire it at a distance. Since you don't have zoom out, the scope of what you can build is kinda limited. You have access to lots of interesting blocks and cool furnitude, but the lack of a third dimension limits creativity a bit.

All in all, a cool game, even though I prefer MC.

.

You have to spawn most of them yourself. ;o Already killed a couple Eye of Cthulu's with socio.

This game has aspects similar to minecraft, but it's not really like minecraft, its like multiple different games in one. :3
Personally I find it a lot more fun than Minecraft, though. As there is more to do.

Its a little harder than that. It doent have any of the connectivity via Steam that games like TF2 has.

To play online with a friend, one has to forward the correct port (31337 if I remember correctly) then start a server. You then have to launch another instance of the game and connect to yourself (localhost, 127.0.0.1, or your private IP address) while your friends connect to your Public IP Address

This isn't Minecraft. This is Terraria. Where Minecraft is a giant box of legos with the occasional zombie, this is a full-fledged Adventure that spans from the depths of Hell to the peaks of heaven and everywhere in between. Monsters spawn both day and night, corruption spreads across the land tainting the very soil, at night the zombies come to try and break down your fortification, and NPCs will gladly offer their services if you build them a place to stay. This is an altogether different beast from Notch's pet project.

This sounds like a wonderful combination of Nethack and Minecraft. I will be purchasing this.

4 pack purchased.

Will send 3 out to whomever, provided I have not already bought you a game in the last year.
