Terraria

A 2D sidescroller game made by Re-Logic. A fun and pretty addicting game that's concept is similar to Minecraft. Some people say that Terraria is just a copy of Minecraft, but the only thing that's basically the same is the building and the monsters. Some angry 10 year old Minecraft fanboy is probably reading this and is like " OMG TERRARIA IS JUST A RIPOFF OF MINECRAFT!!!!11" And the truth is that it really isn't. While the graphics isn't the best, there is way more content. 20 main bosses, 3 of which are Old-gen and 3DS exclusives. 14 event bosses, 4000+ items, and much much more. Terraria has 4 classes you can play with, Melee, Ranged, Mage, and Summoner. You utilize swords as Melee, guns, bows, even different types of arrows and bullets for Ranged, spell tomes, staffs, even prisms for Mage, and minions that can be imps, or can be a giant dragon. Terraria also has different armors for different classes, and accessories that buff you or just make your life easier. And before you say "Minecraft has mods and Terraria doesn't", It does. Terraria runs mods on something called TModLoader, and as of update 1.4, it has become the free dlc of Terraria. One of the most popular mods, The Calamity Mod, added 25 new bosses, 12 mini bosses, and nearly 2000 new items. If you want a cheaper alternative to Minecraft, Terraria is your best option. I mean, at least Terraria isn't just you destroying your mouse when the dragon swoops down.
