Terraria for Wii U Review

<p align&equals;"left"><span style&equals;"font-family&colon; &comma;serif&semi;">Dig&excl; Fight&excl; Build&excl; These three words appear quite simple and straightforward&period; And yet when they are used to describe the game <em>Terraria&comma;<&sol;em> the depth and weight of these words are intensified&period; <em>Terraria<&sol;em> is a game that lets the player survive and thrive in a world that is abundant with raw materials&period; You must gather and craft using earthen materials you dig from the environment to sustain your avatar&&num;8217&semi;s existence&period; Begin by choosing the size of the world&colon; small&comma; medium&comma; or large&comma; and create an avatar that is as zany or normal as desired&period; There are a few items available in the start-up inventory but the sword&comma; ax&comma; and pick-ax are the ones you need to use first&period; <&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"left"><span style&equals;"font-family&colon; &comma;serif&semi;">I started by chopping down the area&&num;8217&semi;s trees&comma; digging through stones and dirt until I had enough to build my first structure&period; The first thing you need to create is a standard house&sol;base&period; Building is extremely fun when using the Wii U&&num;8217&semi;s Gamepad due to the ability to use the stylus to build whatever structure your imagination can think up&period; The gamepad makes the <em>Terraria<&sol;em> experience more interactive and easier to take creativity to the extreme&period; Drawing out the lines of stone&comma; wood&comma; snow etc&period; and watching them form a building is a satisfying moment… until you start thinking of complex rooms and shapes and then the fortress never seems to be complete&period;

melee&comma; and magical weapons along with a variety of armor types makes surviving the game a bit easier&period; Enemy appearances are based on the type of terrain your avatar is in and which part of the day&sol;night cycle is current on the surface world&period; Unfortunately there is little guidance in the game&period; The best path of action to take is to ask your friends&period; A great option is asking fellow Wii U players on Miiverse for help when it comes to which ores are the best to meld for weapons or which terrain is safest for building your main house&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;109649" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-109649" style&equals;"width&colon;
