Love this game. And I’ve only ever played this on mobile version because I love the two finger controls. And once the new update came, with controls similar to PC or console, I worried. The new controls for mobile make no sense considering that it’s MOBILE and not PC or console. They make it so you would need like 5 fingers at once to operate it as well as you could when the old controls were used. A couple things much harder to control are using auto weapons, and even just moving and jumping in general. Now, you have to use a separate button to do each task. Which isn’t very ideal, considering it’s a game you should easily be able to play with only two thumbs. Overall, I don’t think it would be necessary to change back to the old controls for good, because I know that there is no chance that that I’ll happen, but perhaps have there be an option to play with new controls or old controls. This way, people who are used to one or the other wouldn't have to adapt so drastically. Another solution could be to just alter the new controls to be cleaner to operate, and also a little less cluttered. Even though you can change the size, they clutter the screen. And if you make them smaller, it makes for an even more difficult gameplay. Please don’t take this as bashing the whole game, because controls are only a fraction of the game. But are a very crucial fraction, in ensuring that everyone has a smooth, easy, fun, and engaging.
Terraria is one of my favorite games and I’ve played ever since the 1.1 update. I play on all types of devices such as mobile, console and pc, so I can get used to many different control schemes. The new 1.3 controls are very helpful, but the customization is very limited. The most that is available is to change the UI size, which is helpful, but it isn’t enough. There should be a way to change the location of certain buttons. My claw grip on mobile is very big, so I find it hard to press multiple buttons that are clumped up together. I’m sure that other people have similar issues with being in an uncomfortable position when trying to use the controls. I think a much more customizable HUD where you can change the position of some or all the buttons would be a huge help to the player base. That’s really the only problem with the controls, but I just want to point out a glitch with the Online Multiplayer. I use an app called MultiTerraria, which uses a VPN to connect with people anywhere in the world. I used the app but while using it a crashed, and when I tried to go on the Online section of Multiplayer, it crashes. I tried restarting the app, turning off my device, but nothing works. The local section works fine, but the Online doesn’t. I hope you guys can fix this glitch. Other than these few issues, the game looks really good! The visuals are amazing, and there are a lot more settings options than there were previously. It’s a great improvement overall.
I love this game. Plain and simple. I have put many hundreds of hours into this game over every platform possible. This game is addicting and impossible to put down. When 1.3 dropped, it put a sour taste in my mouth. The new interface was horribly complicated and seemed like it was trying to jam all the features it could into a tight compact space that didn’t feel smooth or natural. I was disappointed that there were no real customization options other than the size of panels, not individual buttons, but most importantly that there was no option to revert to the old controls. I left a 3 star review voicing my disappointment and left the new content untouched. After receiving a developer response about an update I went and cheched it out again. Autoswing is back, some minor improvements have been made, and some issues have been fixed. These small things now make it... manageable. It is gonna feel awkward but I feel I can finally go and explore all the new amazing content I’ve heard about without the new controls feeling too wonky. The new interface has its ups and downs, like the grapple joystick is amazing, the target lock is good, the potion buttons are convenient, the inventory layout is annoyingly small but convenient, but overall it is manageable. I still would love to see fully customizable controls or even the option to revert to pre 1.3 controls, because controls are everything and if it doesn’t feel comfortable, it won’t flow. For now though, I feel I can once again call this game great. 5 stars.
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! 👌👍

So I played this game when I finished with l ender cataclysm Minecraft and got bored, looked for a game to play, I was told in videos this is just 2d Minecraft, when I played it, it was way, way more better, first of all, it has way more mobs, Iike the ant lion, the chrimson was difficult but not too difficult, and building and bossfighting was fun, eye of Cthulhu was a amazing, yet not scary experience, the brain was amazing boss, I had lots of fun with the creepers, the queen bee was challenging but not impossible, deerclops was the ONLY bad thing in this, please give it a rework or atleast make it so the ice spikes DONT look like a png image, skeletron was a ok boss, but the dungeon was the best part in pre hardmode, the wall of flesh took me several tries but I won, and the mechanical bosses are easily more possible with razor blade typhoon and nimbus rod, planters was also quite easy, except my impatience when building the arena, another thing: make it so plantera doesnt need a arena, golem was pretty easy, lunatic cultist had stunning visuals, the pillars were awesome, the items after moon lord and the moon lord was insane, but my favorite part is the empress of light visuals, the light effect, awesome, the dance of colors, insane, and I really like how you listen to YOURE fans unlike Minecraft or Bloons, way better then both of those games and if you’re looking for a game to play, I would recommend this 100%
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!
Thing is, when I’m playing and trying to really get into the game, I can’t because it’s lost it’s simplicity. I like how there is an option in the game where you can switch your jump to the legacy feature, which makes more much easier mobility, however, things like using a weapon and scrolling through your inventory annoy me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. It just feels cluttered and unorganized, instead of having an option to see which hand is your dominant one, they just give you two action wheels on the left and right of your screen, which can’t be disabled, this takes up far too much of the screen and is honestly pretty annoying. Another thing too is the inventory system. It used to be simple and easy to use, it also made for a good break during an intense boss battle, you’d click the backpack and your inventory would be presented to you, it was easy to use, a simple, but effective way to go through your inventory, and was just all around better than the new system. It just seems weird that things like that changed, I feel as if it goes with the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The new systems just bother me and annoy me too much to really immerse myself in the game, before the huge update, the inventory and equipping system was easy and effective, it didn’t take up hardly any room on the screen, and was useful. Now, the whole thing is a scattered, cluttered mess, annoying to use, and a pain to use as well. Would it be hard to just implement a legacy addition type inventory system? Thanks.
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.
All right the bugs there are crashing bugs with the expanded world it will crash at random times just thought you should know now time for the idea's for the underground snow biome there are giant bats spawning I think you should add giant ice bats for the underground snow biome ow I almost forgot to mention you should do the 1.3 update as soon as possible same thing with the 1.4 update if there ever will be one now back to the ideas I think you should also add a giant snail mob that only spawns in the ocean biome in hardmode also you should add a cursed fire spiritual mob for corruption biome that will only spawn when you defeated all 3 mechanical bosses also for the underground hallow biome you should add a cyistle fish mob you should also add a chef npc that sell food also you add a sientiste npc that sell posoins you also add a bone golem mob for the dungeon biome that spawns when you have defeated plantera the mob is kind of like the golem exsept a mob and not a boss that as the chance to drop the bone hand grappling hook and the book of flaming skulls also you should add a haunted bone fish for the caverns biome I also think you should add a eye jelly that will only spawn in a hardmode world when it's a blood moon in the water also I think you should add a corrupt crab mob for the corrupt ocean biome also I think you should add a purple jellyfish for the underground corruption biome also I think you add a corrupt jelly and that's it for now
Okay. Let me just start by saying Terraria is my childhood. I have been playing since I was young and it has sparked so many memories. I even met my best friend over Terraria. And about the quality of the game. I’ve heard countless people saying “It’s just 2d Minecraft!” No offense to Minecraft(Minecraft is a good game), but Minecraft in comparison to this game is about the size and quality of half a worm. Terraria has so many elements to the gameplay, so many different blocks, so many enemies and bosses and events and NPCs, It has never failed to blow my mind. And despite the fact that it’s pixelated, it has great graphics. What’s funny is that I’ve never even been in hardmode which is like eighty percent of the game, which is saying something. (I’ve never been in hardmode because in my previous playthroughs, I probably got distracted by a different game or the phone stopped working or something.) it’s such a big game with such good quality of gameplay. I also really like the Mobile controls. I’ve played on Console and Pc, and I definitely prefer these controls. Easy to learn and easy to master. I would definitely recommend this game. Although it’s cheaper on mobile and the controls are really good, the overall quality of the game is better on Pc. So, if you have a Pc and can afford the price, get it on there instead. I’ve heard the controls are pretty good on there too. As for mobile(which I prefer cause I don’t have a Pc anyways, I’ve only played it on my friend’s Pc) I would definitely recommend buying it. Really good game, and have a good day, gamers! Happy trails and good luck!
I wish I was able to cross play. I’ve been playing this game for the longest time ever n my brother would literally get so mad if I didn’t help him with defeating the bosses. Together we would fluff up stuff lol n now that we are older n were not able to play together thank hog it’s cross play on PlayStation n other consoles but why not on mobile I’m kinda tired of playing Minecraft alone cuz he likes terraria better!!! N I’m a big fan of Minecraft but he likes this game better because of the scary monster on the game. And no hate on Minecraft I luv the game but sometimes you just get tired of playing alone yk also I miss playing with my brother on terraria. It was literally the only time I would bond with him n sometimes he would be so mad at me but then I would tell him fine yu defeat the bosses without me then n when he would play knowing he needs my help we would talk. N I would grab the ps4 controller and play. I luv the cute rainbow kitty sword 🗡 he gave me that sword. We don’t live together anymore n he’s always saying hop on terraria but I don’t really have time to use my PlayStation n I tell him can I play on mobile but he says nooooo which why I’m here begging yu guys to make it cross play plzzzz🙏🙏🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 I luv this game n I rate it five stars if I could give it a billion stars I would cuz this game is so amazing 💖💖💖💖💖
I've been playing Terraria since I was 7 years old, and I've been loving the game! This game is amazing! Ever since me and my friend started playing, we never stopped! We are so happy that we bought the game. It has brought so much happiness to my life, and I don't know what I would've been doing with my friend's and my entire life if we didn't buy it! So please, think about buying this game, and you'll never regret it, so please, ignore all the haters, and please, think about downloading this game, and though you might think, " Nah, this guy is bluffing!" I'm not, this game is one of my most favorite games in my entire life! Also I've been seeing some reviews where they want more items, more bosses and more ideas! Well guess what? Every game has It's limits and you know that, so please, stop complaining about all the crashes, and the lag, because the creators of Terraria are trying their best to keep this game alive! So please! If the hate comments and complaint comments keeps going, Terraria might die off, one by one, and then one day, you might look for Terraria, but then, it might not be there anymore. So please, think about buying the game, and if you have any complaints about the game, please keep it to yourself so this game can still be here, and if not, this game might not be here anymore, so please, stop with the hate, if you have a hate comment in mind, please keep it to yourself, and if you didn't like the game, I'm sorry if you didn't like the game. So please, think about buying the game, and I am going to tell you this, you might not regret buying this game.
This is an incredible game and group of developers. Thank you for the thousand+ hours I’ve spent on mobile Terraria. However. The decision to move inventory and system buttons from bottom corners to upper left UI is a negative only. Please either move back or give the option for pre-update UI. I’ve seen this same request posted across multiple forums because it just makes sense. My argument: for a touchscreen player lower corners are extremely easy to hit, but also not to hit. They took up effectively no additional screen space but were just in reach when needed. Inventory gets used constantly. System only when needed. Now they take up screen space, are harder to hit, and sit right next to other highly used buttons. It used to be easy to move your thumb just to the left side of screen and select your items. Now you need to look so you’re not hitting these other buttons. In time I trust you get used to it, but the question remains why? This seems to ignore the don’t fix what’s not broken rule, and doesn’t add any clear value. Not to mention design suffers. Two rows for items looked clean. A third partially full row based on your pages looks, simply put, bad. Thanks again for the great game. Hope you see this and re-consider.
This game is one of, if not, the most successful franchises I have ever seen. With TONS of weapons, TONS of bosses, and TONS of things to do. However, I doubt that you’ll be able to read this, but just one thing. You are the creators of this game right? And that it also exists on Console, and PC, right? And you are aware of the extra content there right? So, I was wondering if you could add that content to the mobile edition. Hey, I’m not rushing you or anything, I understand that it takes time to add the Lunatic Cultist’s AI to the game, and even the entirety of the Lunar events, and the new weapons. I’m just wondering if you could add this type of content to the game. Sure, you might remove Ocram, since it didn’t fit the mood of the game, and maybe the Sharanga, which was efficient for people who sucked against the Wall of Flesh, and for people who just wanted a normal-mode way of inflicting the cursed inferno debuff. The only thing I’m glad’ll get removed are the stronger normal mode variants of certain enemies. For example, the dragon hornet. I hated these especially in normal mode. Simply because I couldn’t explore the underground jungle. They were just too strong, that you had to use a stronger normal mode weapon to get past them, like the Blue Moon, or the Mini Shark. This doesn’t mean I hate the game though, besides, I DID give you a 5-Fallen Star review. Jokes aside, I understand the value of making a game like this. I’m really exited for this update, and please ignore the rushers. I hope you can get it in as soon as possible. (Again, not rushing.)
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.😃
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)
Amazing game. All the types of weapons, tools, and miscellaneous items make it extremely fun. I love the graphics, music, and creativity of mobs. It’s so interesting to see what people build with this game as it has so much potential. Personally, I have deleted it a few times because I am not very good at the game and I end up dying almost every time I leave my house. This is also because it is hard to control my curiosity when going down into different biomes or caves with lots of monsters. That being said, this is a mobile game and it is extremely hard to find good controls on a app. Even after deleting it, I always came back to terraria just to see what types of biomes my world has, and what cool items I can get. My first play-through of this game was 5 years ago and I still remember having so much fun after getting a sandstorm in a bottle and being able to fly around in it. I also remember making rope like hooks out of gems. I remember all the types of armor I wore. I remember finding the temple with the old man and the skeleton boss in the basement. I remember building a house with different themed rooms. I remember summoning the giant eye with a mouth and being terrified of it. I used to daydream in class thinking about how I would play terraria when I got home. There are so many different things that can be discovered and done in terraria, and I think it’s one of those games that are impossible to not come back to. I know you probably won’t see this, but if anyone is reading this because they are not sure if they want the game. Trust me, just play it. Anyway, I’m going to go start a new world. Thanks for being such a big outlet for fun in my life.
I see so many people complain about the mobile controls and a good amount complain about the online porting. I will admit the porting is horrible but it’s not much better on PC. But the mobile controls can easily be fixed just by adjusting them in the settings button, I’ll even provide a walkthrough for how to do it. 1) get in a world. 2) tap the button with the wrench on top of the hammer, wherever it may be. 3) tap the button that says settings. 4) tap the button of the hand pointing at something, near the top of the screen. 5) press the edit button on the button that says “touch controls:”. 6) design the controls however you want. 7) set your control profile to whichever profile your preferred controls are on (they will be on profile one if you didn’t change which one they were on). 8) enjoy playing for the first time in your life. Side note: the grapple will never be properly smooth, that’s just the mobile grapple. Also I feel like I should add that this game is not 2D Minecraft in any way, they are both completely different games with different experiences, and Minecraft and terraria are friends, not enemies… I know you, one person who’d say they don’t get along.
Listen, there are people out there who say bad things about certain games just because they are not good at them. I am not one of those people, this game is amazing, you don’t even need to be good at games to be good at this game. All you need is good items, these items can be obtained from the simplest of things, wether it is from fighting green jelly things, or even throwing a worm in the water and reeling in a big catch. I have gotten very far in this game, I have killed the moon lord on 3 different profiles. Me and my friends used to do our own pvp maps and we’d play on them for hrs. It got to the point where there was a grave on top of every block in the area, those were the good times, but when the new update came out me and my friends lost all of our items, our profiles and worlds were deleted when the update came out. My main profile luckily was still there but the dragon armor I spent a day grinding for was turned into measly chlorophyte armor. I understand that you took that armor out of the game along with a few other armor sets, but why couldn’t you just make them vanity sets? I still like this game and I still play this game, Fanny wait for journeys end to come out. I am a little sad that it will be the last update, but at least terraria is going out with a BANG. This game has been a part of my childhood and my friends as well, we would do trading sessions, I even made a potion shop and sold 1 potion to my friend for 50 platinum, ( we used the duping glitch quite often ) until it made my main world unusable because the game would crash because I backed it up so many times. For 5-6 bucks, this game is totally worth it, and it will always be worth it. :)
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'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. A sandbox game that is well worth buying. Bosses, items, buildings galore. This game has earned my 5 stars, let alone the creativity of this game. To the people complaining about getting 1.3, the devs are working incredibly hard on this update, since there are many things in it, and for mobile terrarians, we are impatient. I am too, but we must wait. Good things come when you wait, and that for us will be the major, mobile changing 1.3 update. It includes new items, the lunatic cultist boss, celestial event, lunar event (not sure), Martian madness event, hopefully the dungeon defender event, and the most feared.. Moon Lord. I’m not sure about all of this but I have been doing a bit of research on the Terraria forums. However I do hope they add all of this, and like the devs say, create a “one-Terraria-experience.” Now.. I have some things to say about my gameplay. I have only been playing mobile for a month, yes I know. But I have been playing non stop, and I have beaten all of the bosses, and most people who have written current Mobile reviews have beaten all of them as well. I know everyone is getting a little nit picky about adding new things, to EVERYONE who reads my long review 😅 we MUST wait! Its a massive update and when you have an update arise from almost a year of no new content for mobile, it gets crazy. But trust me guys, once you get your 1.3 update, you’ll be glad you waited. There are many things in store for us. THANK YOU 🙏🏼 devs for working hard on Terraria everyday. “I” appreciate this, and I hope you take this review and others into consideration, we seem to have some very “urgent reviews.” 😂 Sorry for the long review. -Jukerxx
Great game would play all the time if i could. 100 times better with friends. there are a few minor bugs including the game crashing when i press a certain button every once in a while the button changes. another bug is that my items randomly disappear in chests after a while sometimes. Hopefully these bugs will be fixed soon. Another thing is that most people complain about the cramped controls but i think they are fine. One final complaint that i have is that the updates are delayed for the app store, this is not a complaint of terraria but just their app store in general. I understand that they have a human review process but i think small “bug fix” updates should not be delayed so long, this has made it so I am not able to play online until it updates and i think they should fix this long review process. Other than these complaints this game is great and I have had so many fun times with my friends. If you have this game and it’s not as fun for you i would definitely recommend playing this with friends and not alone it makes it so much better. Overall great game i hope these bugs will be fixed soon.
Dear 505, I’m going to start off by saying that Terraria is probably my favorite game of all time. I first bought it maybe 4 or 5 years ago, and ever since I have had so much fun with it. The experiences you gain when you discover new biomes or bosses, or learn a startling revelation about the game are like no other. I have Terraria on iOS and Xbox, but I mainly play on iOS. That is, until update 1.3. Before this update, the controls were great! They were simple, easy to learn, and didn’t take up much screen space. After the 1.3 update, the controls COMPLETELY changed. They are now overly complicated, too far apart, and take up so much screen space. As a player who has put thousands of hours into the game, it seems impossible to learn these new controls. The old ones have been ingrained into my memory after 4 or 5 years. I would like to humbly request for there to be an option to switch back to the original controls, so both old players and new can use the controls they are familiar with. I have spoken to some of my other long time Terrarians, and they all seem to agree about the controls. I gave this game a 5 star review in the hopes that the developers will read this not from a troll who just complains about the game without anything good to say, but from a longtime, devoted, DEDICATED fan who loves the game and would like nothing more than to see it succeed. And I think that adding an old control option would do just that. If my review is not seen, or ignored, I would, breaking my own heart, feel obligated to change the 5 stars to 1. This is truly a beautiful game, and I wish I could play it and have the same experience I did when I first found it. Have a good day, from a devoted Terrarian.
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 was so excited to play terraria and do new things I haven't done like get the blizzard staff. When I started terraria everything was normal when I pressed play it says that my player file was deleted because it was made in a newer version. But the thing is I'm pretty sure that I created that character before the current version. 😭😭😭 please fix this, this is my favorite game ever. This is now one month later after this happened and so far only one other game had something like this glitch except it was in a tower defense game. That game was pvz. I'm still kinda mad about losing my progress in this game but I'm kinda happy cause now I have a new character to focus on a new way to play but still I want my character back. 8 months later now that I literally made a meme with my friends about it and I’ve been over this whole thing the day after the previous paragraph also Me and my friend are so excited for 1.3 because of the Moon Lord, the pillars, and forgot his name but the other boss. What I’m most ready for is the hopeful speed up buying stuff like musket balls and the infinite musket and arrow pouches.
I have always loved playing this game. It’s a great game for adventuring and building your own world! I was disappointed when the new update came out recently and all of the controls changed, PLUS there is no icloud save anymore!! I had the game on another device and I can no longer get my old character and worlds on my new phone! This is a huge issue for me and really makes me sad because I loved this game so much. I also am slightly worried about the new controls. The game was easy to play and was conveniently for the player in the way you had to control everything. Now with the new controls, there are WAY too many buttons and things to press and the new button designs also get in the way of the gameplay. To play this game you need more than two fingers and the whole system of placing and breaking blocks is way more difficult to use now. I would really love to see this game come back to its original glory and not change so much about the game that made it so fun to play. In the end, I would really like to see the icloud save brought back so people can have their old accounts, and please please bring back the old controls and systems. Thank you.
Soooo I LOVE Terraria it is so fun so many thing to do!! Here are some reasons 1.(-Mining-fighting-building-exploring-) so some people don’t like how you can only go 2.(-up-down-left-right-) But it is actually better honestly! AND THE BEST PART 3. (-When you hold a torch it glows with out placing it!!! AND!!!.... 4.(-when you Make a character you can play a world then you can play another world with the same stuff!!!-) 5. (- you have a map that shows you people and things and it is always on you like it is not an object-)Now... when I say the number of the reason that means that it is better then.. Minecraft (2.) up down left right) Yea really you can’t get lost that much.... so you can find thing easier... (5.) the non object map!!) the best!!! (3. The torch!!!!) DEFINITELY!!!! (4. The characters in how you can leave the game with them and go on a different world!) I LOVE terraria it is fun.. SO FUN you can not get bored so if you are reading this and you don’t have the game than GET IT!!!! It is fine for I would say like... 8. Up but that is really the parent in charge.. Thanks to the people who created this game it is literally like the best game in the world!!!❤️❤️❤️
I love Terraria. It’s probably my favorite game of all time, both on pc and on mobile. I truly owe it so much, and it offers an incredible amount of content for a one-time payment, something which too many game companies have been shying away from in recent years (to disastrous effect). So that’s why I’m rating it 5 stars—because it deserves 5 stars. That said, this latest update was… unfortunate. Terraria mobile is an entirely different game than console Terraria—at the very least, it is an entirely different play-through experience—something which I think previous updates kept in mind. But this latest update added a BUNCH of new (entirely unnecessary) UI, which both clogged up the screen and made editing the interface much more confusing—though, to be fair, much more powerful as well. EDIT: They updated again, and the UI is back to being elegant and useful—WHILE retaining the increased capabilities of the latest update. Because that’s what the Terraria team does… they put a TON of work, effort, and polish into the game even years down the line, when nobody expects that of them. Buy this game. You won’t regret it.
Honestly I love the game. I know the age rating says 9+, but really I’d suggest 11+ maybe 10+. Like all video games, movies, and just games like D and D it really depends on what your kid is like, and how they behave. I don’t have a kid but when me and my dad were looking at reviews for d and d I realized, it really depends on how your kid acts. I totally think your kid should not get this game if there gonna get scared of demons and stuff, because there’s a decent amount of them in the game. There’s also a lot of disturbing stuff in the game like vodo dolls, flying eyes, and TONS of skeletons and zombies. It has easy controls that you can get used to very easily. I don’t really ever play or watch tv and video games, but this game is ADDICTIVE. If you don’t normally play video games and spend most of your time playing with your imagination outside, or fishing climbing trees etc, you got a good thing going so don’t mess it up with this game. Also if you’re a Christian like me, this game has many things that are Kinde of Anti-Christian. As long as your kid isn’t gonna go start some terraria cult, that believes in demons and slimes it’s a pretty good game. Overall it’s a great game as long as your kid knows it’s all fake and won’t be bothered by it.
I remember when I first got this game, I freaked out when I killed my first boss 😂. I've came back to this game about a year later and I forgot about it. I was done with the game, because the moon Lord wasn't added yet and you guys haven't updated this in a while. I love this game, this has been one of my favorite games on the app store. I've played this game for a long time, so I have things pretty leveled up (master ninja gear, spectre armor, Terra blade, and attempting to get the last accessories for the ankh charm). I have put a lot of time into this game, and I have enjoyed every second (besides when they updated it and I couldn't get the angler and the temple in my first world). But, if you ever do update this game, I would add the Moon Lord, make a way so the accessories don't appear on your avatar when all the social/vanity slots are filled, and make chlorophyte easier to farm. If anyone is looking back at this game, don't let the 2d fool you, this game is AWESOME and has LOTS of gameplay!!!!! This app has always been my favorite. There should be more games like this on the app store! I rarely enjoy mobile games to this content, but this has been my favorite so far.
I find it crazy that the developers charge you such a low price for such a high quality game, I am loving this new update so far and for someone who’s been playing since he was 6 I didn’t think the developers could do any better than 1.2.4... BUT THEY DID!! And they rebuilt the game from the ground up and they are just pushing out bug fixes, and update’s . The best part is if someone says “Uhm ThiS jUmpING SukS coMparEd To the OLd 1” instead of going “HAH h8ter u idiot noob” they actually take your suggestions and ADD them. my only problem is what I think is a glitch. I have a building character with lots of material’s and I used to go on my building world with him so I can make some structure’s but a 2 update’s ago he stopped working. When I go into any world with him he just crashes the game before the world loads, but my other characters can hop into worlds just fine. If anybody see’s this comment then pls respond because I rlly like this character and he is my favorite character I’ve made since this update. Btw sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes I am 12 and I don’t rlly like writing as much as I do science lol
I absolutely love this game. It’s full of adventure and surprises. The only thing though is that nothing has changed/been added in a while. I don’t know if it’s my tablet not letting me know that it needs to update or what, but I think some new things could be added. Maybe some new biomes with new creatures? Like maybe you could add plains with prairie dogs. Another thing is that the oceans are to much “Everything’s gonna Kill you” and not enough “ Let’s Explore”. I think it would be cool if the oceans were bigger, didn’t have as many creatures to kill you because you already had to worry about not drowning, and some builds. Like Sea palaces or ocean caves. And the corrupt biome could be a little more common. I’ve made 4 worlds and none of them have had a corrupt biome, so I’ve never been able to smash and shadow orbs. A few new weapons would be cool too! One last thing I’d like to say (this on might just be my tablet so ignore if you think it is) is that Terraria only lets me join others if I’m on their same internet, so I get lonely since nobody else in my house plays it. But over all I still LOVE this game. I’ve been playing for about a year now.
This game is a real adventure, and a perfect mix of sandbox with also a bit of a faint storyline. It’s got about a thousand things to do and get, lots of items, NPCs, achievements, and monsters/animals. People keep asking for another update or to add more stuff, but what they don’t realize is terraria is an old game, in fact currently 14 years old, and it’s last update was a while ago, Journey’s End. They’re only going to be fixing bugs from now on but honestly that’s ok because this game is already as jam-packed with stuff as it can be. There are a total of 33 bosses in the game, with the “final” one being the moon lord. You can also resummon the bosses as much as you want to get more stuff from them. There are dozens of NPCs who all sell different things and you find them in different predicaments you’re supposed to help them out of, (Tied up, fell through a portal, washed up, kidnapped.) It’s not a minecraft rip-off and the only similarities between the two is that they’re both sandbox and pixelated, that’s it. Unlike minecraft terraria has a lot more loot, achievements, and things to fight.
The new update brings ssoooooo much new stuff and i love all of it but with the new update also brings a new interface and controls, which are kinda hard to get used to, i looked for something in the menu to turn the controls back to how they were before but I couldn’t find anything, something that would DEFINITELY make this update ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for some people would be an option to have the old controls back.
Great game, Re-Logic! Hopefully you guys release 1.3 on mobile soon, I need moar boss battlez!
Awesome Game, i am really addicted to it so bad.Good luck and awesome game!
This game is a very fun and a good survival game. Inside Terraria you can do much more things than in Minecraft, like building materials, hammering the blocks, fighting all lot of bosses, and much more. I would definitely recommend this to a friend or someone who likes to play survival games. When you first play this game and have no experience, it wouldn’t be very fun, but once your good it will be super fun. All you need to do is watch tutorials
Terraria is like my favourite ios game but I wonder when the next "Big" update will come out? I can't wait for it.
I guess I’m just that one crazy person who likes the controls. 🤷🏻♂️ Sooooooo... this is a new part... I was playing in hardcore mode and it glitched and my summons attacked ME and killed me.🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
Love the game but stopped playing mobile after 1 hour. Bought on PC (steam) and its WAYYYY better and easier to play on PC
I have been playing this game since 1.2 came out
We want old controls back
The screan display is hard to play
When's the next update!
The game won't save, can't use flame dye crashes every time I play and freezes up my I pad. Please fix love the game but can't play cause it won't save
You need to download this game if you haven’t it’s worth the six bucks. It is so fun. There’s never a dull moment in this damn game so yeah if you get this, you’re gonna have a blast but either way is hard so I recommend starting off with classic or journey and when you create a character, you just have to use classic or journey journey characters can only work in journey worlds and classic characters work all worlds. P.S(whatever you do do not break the little tiny thing in the beehive. It’s summon the queen bee)
I had 2026 stone and I decided to craft stone slabs but I crafted 2026 stone slabs so I tried to uncraft bc they looked weird but… I FREAKING CANT RE-LOGIC PLS ADD A BACKUP WORLD OPTION PLS IM NOT GRINDING THAT AGAIN but it’s actually pretty good besides that
Ok first, absolute banger if a game, beaten every mode, with every class, and every secret seed (not with every class) on every difficulty and now I’m a little bored, but really exited for 1.5, release it soon please and R.I.P leinfors 😢
This game with a mouse and keyboard is amazing on ios, basically the full pc version. Definitely a must have for terrarians. However the mouse sensitivity is far too low and the game doesn’t account for the sensitivity i set outside of the game. If there was a slider to increase the sensitivity it would make the game even more playable on the ipad with a trackpad like i play. As is it’s still an amazing game with hundreds of hours of gameplay
I see that many people want the old controls back, but just rate the damn game for how it is, not for how you want it to be. Honestly, this game is one of my favourite, if not already my top 1. There’s just so much to do and so much to create! It’s really an awesome game!
Terraria is my favourite game it’s absolutely perfect there is a variety of so many weapons to chose so many blocks and so many enemies and bosses you can fight the only negative thing I can say about this game is once you start playing you can’t stop
The game has always been more enjoyable than minecraft and is soo fun with soo many magic and sci fi its perfect for casual game play and its easier to play than minecraft that feels tiresome This is such a cartoon classic i dont think they can beat this gameplay until they come out with vr and advanced video game streaming processes for our phone to allow virtual multiverse games Its not going to happen for years and ive been playing terraria on pc since 2010 and im playing it faster than ever on mobile !!!! Amazing and idk about the controls but it cant be any worse than pubg mobile lol
Bro I stg if you hate on terraria I just can’t with you man like come on
I really like the game,I got this game years ago not knowing what to do but now that I have the hang of it I played on one character for 200 hours and have the best gear possible
Hahaha yes
Terraria Negative Reviews and Ratings
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!
This used to be one of my favorite games to play with my friends, and I thought I would download it again because it was so fun. I probably have over two thousand hours with my computer and mobile time combined. It’s sad for me to say though, that the new controls actually make it unplayable. I think the option to move certain pieces is a good start but I do not like the general setup of the keys now with 5+ buttons that are not necessary and are way too cumbersome for the IPhone. I understand that some people didn’t enjoy the old system but for me it was way better and should be an option. An alternative would be to allow players to remove and add individual buttons, like the potions buttons and the “secondary weapon” button and the mount button and the jump button, all of which are useless as the items should just be used from the inventory rather than making the screen 90 percent filled with buttons. The “settings” button and the “inventory” button on the bottom right and bottom left respectively are also not a good location because it forces the D-pad and all of the other buttons inward which is not fun to play with. I know I’m just some random guy on the internet ranting, but from what I’m seeing on the internet, not many people are liking the new controls either. I don’t know what the reason is for not giving an option for old controls except for hubris on the developer’s part, so please add it, as it would benefit the players that liked the old system and not affect the players that like the new system.
First off, I want to say that Terraria is a amazing game and has been one of my go to games for years. However, I have a major problem with hard mode. I feel like the increase of difficulty is exponential and makes many players, including me, quite frustrated at times. Many worlds are lost because we just aren’t ready for the much tougher mobs and rapid spread of the corruption. I feel like the gear of pre-hard mode doesn’t give you much of a starting point to hard mode. Also, the chance of a mechanical boss spawning is absurd. 10% chance!? I had a pirate invasion, twins, and a blood moon happen all at the same time. I got killed many times. It was frustrating and I quit after that moment many years back. I cam recently to see if it changed, but to my surprise it hadn’t. Why not? It is a huge problem in my opinion and creates a massive upwards struggle. It forces the player to grind and less to enjoy rather than the pre hard mode. Recently, I lost my best world to crimson and hallow. It was just too much and I didn’t have the gear to beat the mech bosses. That meant that I couldn’t get a clentaminator and thus leading to the world being swallowed into corruption. It’s frustrating!!!! All that hard work for nothing. This is a huge problem that needs to be addressed in the future. I hope the developers read this and I understand that the last big update already came out. However this can just be a patch to nerf the spread of corruption or nerf to mech bosses. I think this would help a lot and keep many players interested for much longer. Thank you and I hope you read this.
I use to play this game on mobile when it first came out and it was great. I recently started playing again on PC and am having a lot of fun, so I wanted to redownload the game on mobile because I remember it being a lot of fun, and also so I could play it whenever I felt like it. Unfortunately, my experience with this new version of the game was anything but “fun”. The new controls for the game are borderline impossible to play with, so much so that it makes any progression in the game an absolute nightmare. Building is incredibly difficult, and fighting mobs even more so. What makes it even worse is that there’s no way to even change, adjust, or simplify the controls to make it more player friendly; you just have to deal with it. I don’t know which developer at ReLogic looked at this game and decided that replacing the old controls, which were perfectly fine, with these god awful new ones was a good idea, but they should honestly be fired for it. It’s incredibly sad how far this version of the game has fallen. The PC version is an absolute delight, but playing this version is absolutely mind-numbing. It’s not fun, it’s infuriating, and based on the other reviews I’ve read on here, I’m not the only one with the same opinion. I know it’s been years, but please change the controls back to what they were originally, or at the very least, simplify them to make them more player friendly.
I understand that terraria is an old game, and that the developers likely arent going to fix any bugs and other concerns voiced my players; but for the same reason there has been soooooo long for you guys to fix any “housemaking” issues that are still in the game. ive had trouble with grappling hooks shooting off in a random direction and my character aiming in the opposite direction while using projectile shooting swords. Youd think with how old this game is that small issues like this would already have been resolved but here i am. Ive been reading some reviews and it looks like other players are having trouble with controls. I had an old character on this game that i used to play on about 2-3 years ago, but i deleted the app since the controls make it almost impossible to get past any of the mechanical bosses or plantera. Now, that was two years ago, and ive recently redownloaded the game since the inclusion of shimmer, and maybe some other things that any new updates have brought that I havent learned about, and i continue to face these problems. Again the controls on the mobile version seem to really limit what you can do in the early game, without spending hours/days decking your character out just to prepare for the early-mid game bosses. I had trouble fighting them two years ago, and now im having trouble even staying alive using my grap hook and my ice blade. This version just feels like a cash grab with how inefficient the controls are, and any concern is met with silence. You are probably better off downloading the pc or console version of this game. Save your money ~_~
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?
Oh my gosh... well, for someone who normally doesn’t purchase apps I really thought this game looked awesome. First, the detail and look and all that Jazz is very pretty and very cool. I tried going through the tutorial but it was extremely boring so I decided to start my own thing... I can’t tell if that was a mistake or if I’m just stupid. It said that monsters and stuff come out during the nighttime but these monsters come Day and NIGHT don’t be fooled. You can’t cut down a tree without getting attacked every 4 seconds by a slime or drugged up bunny rabbit. For someone who doesn’t play Minecraft or games of this nature it’s overwhelming because I wish it came with a guide to show us how to use the objects we receive. It just says “can be used”, “can be placed”. WHAT! That’s so vague! I don’t know man... this game is cool but keeps the user lost. It’s like being dropped on an island with drugged up bunnies and weird slime balls that don’t stop trying to jump on you and you are running for your life every 4 seconds. There are “interactive” players in the game but I’ve only met one and he just keeps trying to get away from me even after I built a house and have an underground bunker... he refuses to come chill with me! How do you have fun with this game!? Super confused. I didn’t know that if I spent $5 I would have to take a college course, 2 certification classes and constantly read up on Terraria journals to understand this game. Should not be this complex. We aren’t rocket scientists. Please help me.
I Remember playing this game when I was younger and the controls were a lot better in my opinion at the time, I don’t know WHAT they did in the five years time span that I have been away but— actually they littered the screen with unnecessary buttons with a confusing layout the pocket edition controls overall are horrible!!. Still love the game don’t get me wrong but there’s so many problems. I can barely place down blocks in the right area without getting super agitated, precise block placement is a joke, good luck putting stairs down without that dang darn hammer, and good luck trying to break something (intentional) without getting super mad that you broke the door one story below you and behind you like what!! fat thumb!! I KNOW I can’t blame it all on me. I think other games can do it way better, but then again not a lot of games are 2D. I almost wanna hook up a controller on my phone. I don’t know how to get that set up yet help. I don’t even know how you would fix this problem from a developers point of view but something needs to change man, I don’t recommend this game if you have big old thumbs (average ngl). I expected more for five dollars in terms of the controls, but still beautiful game in every other aspect
Alright, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been playing terraria for over 3-4 years and i love it. The reason i’m giving it 3 stars instead of 5 is because of the update. The update makes it so you are basically on pc version but on mobile. You are supposed to be able to use weapons with the right joystick right? Well, it used to work just fine, and, out of no where, it just is there for no reason. First, it happened when i was using the yo-yo. I was mining and saw a mob- obviously i tried to attack it. I tried attacking it with the yo-yo with that joystick, nothing. Though, i did figure out how to use my weapons- you need to click on wherever it shows your weapon. The other bad part is that now, the right joystick is only an aiming stick. As in when you are holding for example, a staff, what ever direction you want it to shoot in, you have to aim it with the right joystick. It also happened when i was using a zombie arm and trying to attack a face monster. Again, i was trying to attack it, nothing happened. Don’t get me wrong- i kinda like the new update, since it has most/every weapon and block that you can get on pc, but i’d also be fine with the normal mobile version. I hope someone will see this and consider looking into updating back- but possibly keeping the other objects from pc.
I've been playing this game for around 3 years and I've never witnessed this bad of a glitch. Don't take this the wrong way, I love the game, but there is a glitch that ticks me off so much. I was playing the game on one of my best worlds and suddenly my game crashed. I wasn't mad about it, because that kind of thing only happened occasionally. So I logged back into the game and tried to go back on to that world. To my surprise, that world/ file had gone corrupt. Now I know you can back up the worlds onto your cloud save, but it is to much of a pain every single time you do or create something new to exit out of the game and create a knew cloud save. This glitch has happened to me 2 or 3 times and I'm extremely disappointed and fed up with it. 505 Games, if you are reading this, if I am going to have to deal with this glitch that takes away my worlds that I put my precious time into, I want my $8 back, and want you to fix this glitch. Even if this means you make cloud saves auto save your changes in your local worlds or you entirely stop game crashes, which is highly unlikely. Even if you don't listen to this review I'd rather try to get this across to you, 505 Games, or current players so they can protect themselves from this dangerous glitch. FYI happening on an IPhone 6s. Disappointed and Angry!
I’ve loved this game for years, and for a long time thought the game was flawless. I’ve played on PC, console, and mobile, and I think it’s great that you’re trying to make all the versions similar, but some stuff just has to stay different. I really love expert mode and multiplayer with 1.3, and I like the new main menu, but the new UI is just too much. On a PC where you have a keyboard and can hotkey everything, this UI is great. On a tiny phone screen where you can only use two fingers, not so much. The new UI takes up way to much screen space, and makes combat much harder. Having a separate button for jumping and flying makes aerial combat literally impossible. The old controls were simple, and they worked. There was no need to update the controls and UI, and by doing so, you turned a phenomenal game into something I’m having a hard time enjoying. Additionally, it takes nearly 10 minutes for me to load worlds, though this might be a problem with my device (an IPhone 6) or network, so I’m less concerned about it. If, in a future update, you return the controls to their previous state, or perhaps give us an option to do so in game, I’d be more than happy to return my rating to 5 stars, because this truly is a game deserving of it. ~An eternal Terraria fan
So I’m nearly about to go kill the wall of flesh I have all the OP accessories like the lightning boots and the lava waders and then sandstorm horseshoe balloon, anyway before I went to go kill the wall of flesh I was going to make a world with a lot of NPC’s so I went to work I made 5 houses 1 for the guide another for a merchant then a nurse, gun dealer, and demolisher. I made each one so then I decided to sell all of my junk in my main world. I switch between worlds pretty quickly and then it happens I get out of my main world where I put all my accessories and other good and op stuff but right as I got out it said File Misconception Error (then a bunch of numbers and dots) It had one button that said ok and I pressed that then I go into my selection of worlds and my Main World is GONE! So Terraria is stupid because it deletes 90% of my work without fixing anything, to be honest one thing that would be nice is if you could just give me a character named afcpandu with a star fury, molten hellstone armor no hard mode a meteor helmet as a vanity item , sandstorm horseshoe balloon, lightning boots, warding climbing claws, a warding magic carpet, and lava waders a nights edge then a bee gun an imp staff a adept fire flower a drax and a hellstone hamaxe and that’s it I can take it from there and if you do that I Will give this 5 stars because that would make my life so much better thank you for reading!
I just can’t handle the new controls and there isn’t an option to turn them back to the old ones
I love the game I have for years now... but the new interface is not right, it’s to confusing for the phone. There are too many buttons and it’s a good idea, I think you should go into more depth with the customization and the way it works to new players or people who haven’t played for a while and are coming back thinking, what’s all this, I can’t play this. That’s my suggestion.
My character got deleted from an update and I had really good stuff🙁
I miss the old controls these new ones are to complicated.
The old controls were way better than these Please make the option to switch between them
It's so hard to function with the crowded layout for the controls. The ones previous to these were perfect. Nothing else to say other than add more of a customizable option for controls or just go back to the good ones. Read your damn reviews, the people want this
I loved he old version, I played it all the time! I don’t get the new version. It’s too much. They should at least add a old version choice!
The new controls are unusable. Can you add an option to switch them back.
The controls are awful after update And my guy is deleted
Make it so i can change back to the old controls
The “new” controls are trash, have an option for old interface. I have tried to pickup and play on and off for the past year... and just can’t. KISS, KeepItSimpleStupid. Maybe the new controls are good for adept users or something, but you’re going to have a hard time attracting new players with these new controls. And new players means new purchases, new purchases is likely the only way to generate more profit....
The new controls are horrible
Used to like the game but because of the resent update the controls make it impossible to play would suggest this game to a friend but not anymore it would just be a waste of there money this is a genuinely good game but I literally can’t play it because of the controls!
The new controls are so annoying, I downloaded again recently because my friends were playing on PC and i can’t even play
The new controls are way to confusing if you don’t add an option to turn them back to the old ones I’m quiting forever
I mean, the game runs great and all, but the new UI has really been messing me up. I can’t throw my boomerang the right way, the auto lock locks onto a wraith instead of the guy right in front of me, the mining is slower or unreliable if you go the same speed. Quick heal and quick mana were nice additions, but everything else is a nuisance. I struggle to fight three enemies now because I can swing behind me anymore. I don’t know, I feel like this UI wasn’t thought through at all. Just kinda thrown in there to add something new. I get the idea of it and all, make everything more accessible, but it has ruined my experience for the last times I played. My suggestion would be to add a setting that lets you switch from the old UI and the newer one. Of course there would have to be some range tweaking for the old one but that’s nothing bad.
The UI is sucky now I can’t even play correctly. Heck I cant even kill some of the weak bosses!Plz give a classic option I need this desperately!!!
It crashes every time I try to play terrari on my iPod
How can this possible that no Chinese language??????
Terraria was a great game until the newer updates. I use to love playing it on my phone more than console or computer but ever since the new update it sucks. The controls are terrible. The worst part is you can’t even jump with the left stick anymore, there’s a button. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen a game do. Please fix it!!!!!😡😡 I was reading all the one star and everyone is saying bring back the old controls!!!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!!😡😡😡🤬🤯🤬🤯🤯😡😡
I can’t stand the new controls for the game I miss the old controls, I can’t even play the game with out getting annoyed with the controls
The game won't even load to the main menu it just crashes
Seems to crash shortly after I start running around, no matter what I do differently. Please fix
Genuinely the most fun game I've ever played, summoner is easily the most fun class, but they've added variable swing archs AND removed whip stacking and it makes it so much less consistent and involving, meanwhile they gave melee even better options? Sure summoner got lots of new whips, but early game summons being even harder to get is just a slap in the face. I really hope they revert these changes. Minus two stars for what they've done to summoner while buffing a class that never needed them anyways. Please bring back whip stacking, it made summoner so much more interesting and fun.
Please bring back the old controls! I used to play Terraria a lot on mobile before the new controls came out and that’s the reason why I quit.
LOVE this game on PC. IOS version has the WORST controls ever. Anti-intuitive and what they’ve done is downright horrible. Basically unplayable because they ruined the controls so much.
Why did you needlessly make the controls bad?
Please make a setting for the old controls the new one is to much man I miss playing it with old controls
