If you have fancied yourself as a `shaper of worlds,' then Terraria is the mobile game for you.

But instead of looking to the heavens to shape your new world, you are going down. You may have the world in your hands, but it's under your feet.

May 2021 - Terraria celebrates ten years

Terraria marked its decade with a birthday celebration. To help celebrate, Terraria fans were asked to share their favorite memories of the game.

The resulting reminiscences of fans and the development team were compiled into an official memory book.

The Terraria team and the game community marked the ten-year milestone on the official Terraria Discord and Reddit forums.

Features

● Get digging - However, it's not quite so straightforward as that. You have to gather raw materials as you explore the underground biomes and structures. Each is unique, so you can never tell what will appear next.

● Go exploring - The various biomes and structures offer almost unlimited opportunities for exploration and the discovery of legendary treasures.

● Get ready to rumble - It's not all peace and harmony down there. There are plenty of foes waiting for you. So best get tooled up with armor and weaponry to ward them off.

● Build - There's more to Terraria than shovel work, exploring, and fighting off the enemy. In between times, you need to construct your world. How simple or grand your dwelling design is up to you. If you want a vast, impenetrable fortress packed with gadgets, that's for you to decide.

The world - or, at least, your version of it - is within your grasp. All you have to do is survive and prosper long enough to build your world and obtain the glory that goes with it.

Sounds easy?

Not quite. The cavernous expanses of Terraria are filled with foes who don't like intruders very much.

Terraria is an intriguing and compelling blend of classic action-type games and massive maps in which you can roam. Where Terraria scores over others is in how the journey and the destination are unique. Both are in the hands of the individual player.

● Reminiscent of Minecraft

● Multi-language

CONS

● The PC version generally gets all the upgrades and mods first

Price - $4.99

How to use

The mobile version of Terraria has undergone a complete ground-up rebuild. It now includes all the epic Journey's End content. If you liked the desktop or console version, you would love the new mobile format.

The game is downloadable from Google Play and Apple's App Store. However, the makers recommend 2GB of RAM and a minimum of Android 4.4. You will also need 161 MB of storage space.

Meanwhile, iOS users will need to commit 256.2 MB of storage space and run iOS 10.0 or later.

Both platforms are widely in agreement, awarding the game 4.6 and 4.5 out of five and the App Store voting it as an Editors' Choice.
