Following our look at Junk Jack X, I loaded up Terraria ($4.99) to see how they compare. The same caveats go for this game too, in that so much of these Minecraft-likes involve really setting up your own personal infrastructure of resources, a killer base, equipment, and more. This is really just the first half hour of Terraria, including bumbling through the tutorial and then finally building our first house in game which (I think?) an NPC either moved in to or will soon be moving into.
Be sure to give this a look to check out the clever control scheme they’ve come up with for Terraria on iOS. The zoom functionality is super near. Also, like Junk Jack X, we’re going to give the game a deeper look next week once we’ve spent more time with it and have a bit more impressive of a base to show off.
As far as whether to get Terraria or Junk Jack X, right now I’d say a resounding get both. They’re both so good in their own ways, that they’re totally both worth having- At least at first blush. The multiplayer in Junk Jack X is amazing, but it feels like you’re building towards so much more in Terraria. Of course, stay tuned for full reviews of both games in the not too distant future.
Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety, but that trailer does the extreme OPPOSITE of making me look forward to this game.
I have to agree.. I feel the same way after watching that
It just seems quite odd that they've decided to make a game based on cats.
I'll reserve judgement. Its a teaser trailer with zero in-game footage, so who really knows whether it'll be good or not. But I totally agree--this does seem SUPER weird and is a major turn off. A cat crapping out other cats? Huh??? Just because something is weird doesn't make it good...in fact its quite hard to do "super weird" properly--in a way that doesn't make people scratch their heads and walk/run away. But I'll guess we'll wait and see!
Wow. I am not the target market for this.
For my part, the trailer has me both tickled and intrigued — to the degree that the "coming in 2014" bit at the end was a little disappointing…
…but if Team Meat were to make available an MP3 of an extended version of that theme song, well, I think that could quite easily keep me going until 2014.
Well I'm gonna be singing that for the rest of the night! And tomorrow ... MewGenics is now firmly on my radar.
Anything Edward McMillan makes is quality gaming in my book. I'm a bit of a fan boy when it comes to team meat.
This game looks...odd.
I cannot WAIT for this game!
I think.
Get in mah watch list!
