So for me, someone who has over 300 hours on Terraria on PC, I thought I’d might as well give this game a try. $4.99 later, here I am with this game. Overall, a pretty good port, sporting the 1.2 update from the PC. The game looks great, controls... aren’t the best but useable, and the tutorial is a relatively good place to start off from, and does a good job at explaining the first part of the game, one thing the PC edition doesn’t have. I have a couple gripes with the game though. First, the inventory and crafting interfaces look overcrowded and can be pretty overwhelming for example when you aren’t familiar with the game. Organizing your inventory is pretty tedious, and definitely needs a redesign. Another thing, is that on phones, you only have 5 hot bar slots, and the game is zoomed in so much that you can only see about 10-15 tiles or so in front of you, and your hearts are super tiny. However, when playing on iPad, you get 10 hot-bar slots and a much more zoomed-out view of the world, somewhere around 40 blocks around you, which makes for a much better gaming experience, and because of the bigger screen, inventory managing is slightly easier, but same problems as the phone. Anyway, that’s about it on my opinion of the game, and I would say definitely pick up a copy if you have five bucks lying around. Hoping the devs fix these issues with the next update. Thanks for reading, have a good one. ✌️

Terraria is one of my personal favorite games that I have been playing for almost five years (I’m pretty sure) but there is something that needs fixing. 1) I live this game but one of my least favorite issues is how unstable the game can be. My files in local get deleted for some random reason (mostly talking about my main account. RIP) but most of the profiles that I made from a long time ago are the ones that get corrupted. 2) this is just something I’ve been kinda annoyed by but... PLEASE JUST RELEASE 1.3 MOBILE! I’ve been waiting sooooooooo long for it and it just won’t come out. I’m getting bored by just dying from plantera a bunch of times because that’s all I can do. I don’t care how unstable the version is and how many bug fixes you will need to fix. I just want 1.3 guys. 3) the controls could use some upgrading. They glitch out when I’m building in the middle of the screen and moving with the left joystick. I don’t know if that’s just my screen or terraria. END) I do truly love this game and I really think anyone with a brain (of cuthulu) should get this game! I’m just trying to share my thoughts and feelings about this game and not hate on the game here. Please try too be quick with this update so my terra blade can destroy more hard mode enemies! Sub to my yt channel Pixelmangames (sorry if I’m not allowed to say that) and good luck 505 games and whoever else is helping develop the game! 👌👍

This game is just something special. It changed me. It taught me to not worry about all of the dangers in this world, but to admire its beauty. This game definitely has its fair share of beauty. The dark shadows really make the lights stand out. The color is gorgeous. Especially the green grass and the light brown wood and dirt. I sometimes cry because the landscape is so lively. Those little caves on the surface are perfect for building on. There are also lots of items that make houses look really homey, like the dishes the traveling merchant sells you, chandeliers, candelabras, tiki torches, you name it. The landscape is usually rough, which is neat because while the worlds are sort of small, all those hills and ravines pose a little challenge, so it isn’t so easy to travel long distances very fast. I get can lost in this game very easily, because there is so much to do. This game has hours upon hours of fun packed inside. I would definitely recommend it for people who like to play games which are a little challenging, but keep it fun and humorous along the way. It is way worth the 5 dollar price tag. I am sad to hear that the game will soon not receive any more large updates, but it happens to every game, and I guess we have to live with that. I wish all the best for Re-logic and 505. Games and their future projects. Have a great day.

This is the most amazing game I've ever played! I first found out about it from my friends in Australia, they really Loved it! So I bought it. They've been playing for a really long time, so they gave me a godly terra blade. And then I played for a while, and Loved it!!!! Also there's a little cheat, you have to be in multiplayer, first you put something in a chest and both you and another player open the chest. Then you both have to press the take button at the same time. And it clones the thing in the chest. (Btw I'm 9yo) EDIT: Ok, so... Still definitely one of the best games ever. And I’m truly sorry, but I CAN NOT deal with the new controls! They are just SO COMPLEX! I know a lot of people probably like them, and I will probably get used to them eventually. But please make a way in settings to use the legacy controls, please. I am keeping my rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because this game is still phenomenal, I just can’t do the new controls. Thank you for reading this, even if you aren’t the devs. If you feel the same way, please leave a review like this one so we can get old controls again, I’m sure some people feel the same way. (Btw I’m 11yo) EDIT AGAIN: Also, please add back the cloud saves. Because I got a new iPad recently, and need to transfer my worlds. Thank you again. (Btw I’m 11yo)

So, profiles. Profiles would show other people what your favorite weapon and armor was. (you would choose that yourself, and have to choose the weapons and armor that you have had in your inventory or used) and a add to friends button. Now there is a third selection slot. (Join Game, Create Game, and Friends List) so you could join what friends you have that are far away, and you could see if they are online or not. “But how do I access profiles???” Just tap on the player that is in your sight range in-game. Also, press add friend below their name to add them as a friend.“Wait wait wait... how do I access my own profile” you simply press ‘my profile’ in the bottom left of your screen. you can access your friends list, edit your profile, and more. “Buuuuut we want profile pictures!” Easy. Just press on a empty picture by your terraria character’s name. (Its a gray square with a white plus in the middle) after pressing that, press edit PFP. Then 2 things will appear. Take photo or Choose photo. Take photo opens the camera app, and you can take a picture to make your pfp. Choose photo is you can choose a photo in your current album, and scale that picture you choose. Thanks for reading this, and have a great day/evening/night.

I know this game is a marvelous, adventurous and creative game . But however the new controls is ruining this great game it was. You need to change the controls back to the original. There’s more buttons on the screen then the game itself. The game is great and It’s really fun, but with these buttons and new controls it makes it so difficult. It’s like it disabled me in doing things I have before, like flying and using my weapon at the same time. All I ask is to change the controls but keep the fantastic adventures game it is. I have played this game for four years and that was the funniest years of my life playing with friends and defeating bosses. I hope you understand that PC is PC and Console is Console. They have controllers and keyboards to control their player without it covering the screen. With Mobile you have to see that you need to make the controls as simple as possible like the original ones. They were awesome! But now you have slapped a key board or controller on the screen confusing everyone on how to even play anymore. I hope this letter finds you well. Thank you for reading as far as this text, by now the decision is up to you. Now make the right decision with the controls.

I love this game and have played it for a very long time and as much as I want to give it 5 stars I cant! I am extremely upset that the developers decided to remove the only things that distinguished the mobile app from the PC version. The horn o' plenty was an amazing way for players who had progressed far in the game to not have to spend time gathering/keeping a stock of potions. Also, removing a major endgame boss completely as well as the items even slightly related to him such as spectral armor (which I would be satisfied if the armor was preserved to be used just in vanity form) seems like such a waste... I know theres so much more content with the new update but all of my favorite items were removed and for what? To allow for an easier transition to cross platform play... in maybe 3 more years when the new mobile terraria update comes out? The mobile exclusive items could just be added to pc if that was the case. Or maybe its more difficult than that, I dont know how difficult that would be since im not a programmer of any kind but thats just my 2 cents. This review should not be taken as a hate review! Simply a suggestion to the developers. I gave this app 4 stars for a reason! This app was my childhood and im sure my 4 stars wont even make the slightest scratch in this apps prestine rating (and thats not my intention). Thanks for reading my insanely long review/rant and I hope the developers can take this to heart!

I would give this game four stars because all of the things I think need fixed will probably be fixed later on. There is one thing I am kinda freaking mad about right now. The auto save every two minutes. It seems nice, but I have such bad issue and had so many problems. So I'll be playing normally like a happy camper and the wham it crashes. I'm all right with crashes, and that's not the problem . The problem is when I get back all of my progress from the last auto save is gone. Now most of the time it's all right but recently nearly the worst thing happened. My inventory was getting full and I was building. I made a chest to store my stuff in. I used the button to put all of my inventory in the chest. When I closed the chest the game crashed. I came back and all my stuff was not in my inventory so I thought I was fine. I walk to the chest, but there's only one problem. It's not freaking there! So I have none of my stuff except for my hot bar, ammo, and money. I don't even now all I lost. But if you think about it it doesn't make sense. How could all my stuff be gone which happened after I made the chests. The chests were gone though. What I'm trying to say is if it took the chests and my stuff why didn't it give it back. I don't know if it makes sense. I hope the creators of terraria will read this and fix my problem, and any others who have the same.

I'm keeping my previous review bc I still have those opinions and complaints. Now, I have some new complaints. I'm freaking out! I keep getting kicked off of my main world!! I can go onto all my other worlds but my main world is glitched! It's been perfectly fine for weeks; this just started happening today. I even tried closing out of the game and doing a hard reset on my iPad and it still won't work! I'm seriously freaking out right now! All my stuff is on my main world and I have got loads of end-game stuff on there! It took me forever to get that stuff! I can't even go on the world if I back it up (I can't go on the back up world)! I've even tried going on the back-up world (cloud save) on a different device and it still kicks me off the game! PLEASE HELP!! 🙏😰 ***Still doesn’t work after recent bug fixes!*** PREVIOUS REVIEW: I absolutely LOVE this game!!!!!!!!!!! I do, however, have some complaints. My complaints are: 1) The music box is glitched; if I leave a world and then re-enter it, the music box disappears from my inventory and it also doesn't seem to record any songs. 2) I cannot craft lavafall & waterfall blocks even when standing in front of a crystal ball. 3) flame dye doesn't work. Other than these problems, this is a fantastic game! Lots of things to discover and craft! Love it!

I’ve been playing Terraria Mobile for over 5 years now, and I have loved seeing it evolve to become equivalent to the PC version. One issue I do have though, and I’m not alone when I say this, is the control scheme. Most of it is fine, could maybe use some better explanation, but overall fine. My issue arises with the new ‘jump’ button. This makes your character jump, obviously, but it is the only way to do so now. You can no longer move upwards or jump with the joystick, and this change has made the pre-Hardmode game almost impossible. I am stuck on the Skeletron of all things because I cannot outmaneuver him and fire my ranged weapon at the same time. All mobile games in my opinion should only require your two thumbs, that’s why they are mobile. I love this game, but I am tempted to permanently switch over to the PC version because of this one thing. So what I’m asking is if you could make the joystick have the ability to jump again. No need to delete the jump button, but another source for jumping would make this game as enjoyable as it has always been. Thank You, KC23

Terraria is one of my favorite games. I have it on my PlayStation4 and I used to have it on my phone. I have a pretty old phone. The iPhone 5s. Me and my cousin love terraria and we would always join each other and have fun! I had this world where I beat the wall of flesh and I had almost everything in the game. I was super excited about the new update. When it finally came, I went on and tapped play. It crashed.. I kept on trying to get into the game but it kept on crashing. I tried deleting other apps, photos, to try to give it space on my phone. I guess it was too much for my phone? Or was it not compatible with my old phone? I thought maybe it would work on another day, so I tried to play it the day after and it crashed. My cousins have iPads and they were playing on it just fine. I finally deleted it because I would never play on it. I couldn’t. All of my progress is gone and I kinda regret deleting it but it wouldn’t work. Maybe it was some kind of bug that you guys could maybe fix? I love the game sooooo much but I miss it and I want to play it again. I paid for it. If there was a way to get the old update back could you do that for me? Or tell me what is happening? Thanks for reading. P.S : I would love it if you would respond.😃

I love this game, but the new controls for the 1.3 update make the game unplayable! Why not bring back the stick design that has worked for years? The extra buttons make the game’s controls unwieldy, and many of the buttons were unnecessary. The grappling hook could always either be in your menu or be a swipe away. It did NOT need a button. The potion buttons, while a convenient idea, clutter up the entire control scheme. The lock on and smart cursor buttons could easily be put in the settings, and the jump button is out of the way and annoyingly concealed behind the right stick. I actually didn’t mind pushing up on the left stick to jump, maybe add it as an option in the settings? The sticks are just small enough to miss 50% of the time, but too large to be considered small. The one good design decision, in my opinion, is the menu. The idea of multiple menus isn’t foreign, and I enjoy how it doesn’t conceal the entire screen and pause the experience, so I can play, without pausing just to craft something or trade with the NPCs. The menu button is well placed and perfectly sized. However, that is not enough to save what used to be an amazing game. Without these awful controls, this game would be a definite 5 stars! Unfortunately, I’m afraid I won’t be able to play this game comfortably with the new, bad controls. Thought I was the only one with this issue, glad to see that I’m not alone.

A few years ago I just about lived in Terraria! I had it on console , PC and even beat the whole game twice on my phone. Life happened and I don’t really have the time to play video games anymore. However I saw this pop up on my iPad earlier today and thought why not give it a go! I spend the 5 dollars and everything is going great I hear the familiar music and I’m back! I make my character the screen are loading great. Then as I teleport away into my world my brain starts spasming as I struggle vainly to avoid slowly hopping slimes with the nearly impossible controls. I mean I’ve overcome bad controls before, but this takes it to a whole other level. Being quite stubborn I gave it about 5 hours of real trying to make this work but there’s just no getting past it. Basic combat feels like Organic Chemistry. You can only do one thing at a time. Switching items is not possible if you are moving. The hook and jump button are on the same side of the screen but too far from each other for me to jump then quickly shoot my hook to escape danger. So many other simple things that made the game so much fun even on the old mobile version you just can’t do here. It’s sad because it looks like there was a lot of content that was added. To bad the developers didn’t play the game with their new controls because no one else will either... I sincerely hope it gets fixed because I would love to play through the game again!

I was playing a version on iPad a few months ago then when I came back it was entirely different and all my previous characters and items and worlds were gone. I started again and it crashed and crashed and crashed. I noticed the quality is nothing like it was. Why change something that was fine before????? Grrrrrrrrr......Please someone help me with the new app played on my iPad. The only device I have for this game. I'm so very disappointed...I lost everything!!! Boooo I can't give stars until I give it a chance and hope someone will try to help me. The one star is only for the purpose of getting my review accepted. I hope I will be able to change it soon. Still crashing crashing crashing! So very frustrating. Can't believe programmers/developers who already had a great game would mess it up so bad and launch it before they were sure the problems/bugs were fixed. Come on! Still holding off giving stars til I see improvements worthy of the 3-5 rating. And still sick that all of my hard earned items are gone. Boooo again! Still crashing every 10 mins or less. Getting close to giving up. Not sure the frustration is worth it. Why on earth did you mess with a game that was fine before..at least for me. And I paid for the game like everyone else. I'm willing to pay again to get your attention and fixes. No one has bothered responding to my reviews...did customer service give up?
