Dig, fight, build.
Get a straight answer first.
Terraria is Re-Logic’s 2D sandbox adventure, built around mining, building, and a boss-driven progression path that runs from a wooden sword to the Moon Lord. This hub keeps version numbers, platform limits and mechanics separate, so a detail from one page is not applied to another.
