Damn I should've bought the Terraria 4 pack

Games damn fun played the shit out of it yesterday with Kittens.

Its pretty metroidvania.  I made the assumption it was another lego game, but its actually a dungeon crawler of sorts.  I'm not using guides so i'll just mention gameplay elements I found while playing:

- Loot system: Find or create armour and weapons, Armour sets exist, there's accessories which give you new abilities i.e. double jump, wall slides
- Magic system: There is magic I have a mana bar I can't beat the boss who beat the living crap out of me, and kittens decided to die before we reached it, i'm wondering if beating him will give magic
- Weapons: seems to be all types, swords (one or two handed), spears, explosives, guns, bow and arrows, boomerrangs
- It has grapple hooks
- NPCs: Depending on your feats and if you build houses, people will move into your town as shops maybe other things, but everyone so far sells me specialist items
- Simple building I highlight this because making a straight line for two or three walls and being able to shove platforms whe you fall down holes is useful, i even build temp walls for a temporary shield from enemies then remove it and hit back, with two people you can do a lot of cool shit like this i imagine.
- the world is huge it goes deep and it goes very far in every direction i'm just pissing about in a specific direction till i die.
- your character persists, if you do dumb things like waste rare material no problem you can create a new world loot it then return to the world you were just in.
- difficulties: easy (only lose money on death), normal (lose items on death), hardcore (permadeath basically turns it into a roguelike), I assume when you die you drop your stuff in easy and normal and likely can regain it i might be wrong.

EDIT: Trying to find out more info a vita and ps3 version it is also coming to ps4. It has 4 player splitscreen on PS3.

So 2-D minecraft, but with more stuff?

I played it today, its awful compared to this. My nephew has it.

I was just about to order this on PS3, but then i cancelled my order almost immediately thinking to myself, if he played this he wouldn't want to play minecraft ever again, which seeing as he just bought it would be a bad thing.

I got the vita version free on ps+ months ago. I was hooked for weeks and dug many tunnels died hundreds of times going as deep as I could. Yes its addicting and I love my home/fortress/castle with all my npc's living there. The bosses are hard and totally epic I found one person to play online with and guide me through and that was fun as hell. Certain events happen you don't really expect pirates attack goblin armies and nights where enemies can open doors and attack inside your home. Mostly though you find yourself digging and mining.

One my top 5 vita games for sure.

Or you can be lazy like me create a world run and loot some chests, fighting off monsters then continue in a different world and loot those chests, when you want better equipment. I got a ice boomerang in my first world and only use that its insanely powerful.
