Let’s be honest though, Terraria should run well as it’s a simple game that cannot be too taxing on the hardware at all and it’s not graphically intensive either. Apart from that, I had no issues, the game ran well and I enjoyed it a lot. I only had one soft crash when I was generating a world for the first time, this only happened once though and hopefully, it was an isolated incident. Performance-wise, Terraria ran very well. If you are yet to play Terraria or want a portable version then this is definitely the version you should buy. The music is still great, all the sights and sounds of Terraria are still the same as before and everything in this department is just as you remember it. As I said earlier, the UI is a bit small on the Switch but it’s perfectly workable and not really an issue. Its pixel art still has that quaint quality it always had and its colours really pop on the Switch’s portable screen. Terraria on the Nintendo Switch is the same as all other versions in just about every other aspect. Touchscreen inventory management is great This is only in portable mode though as in docked mode the touchscreen is inaccessible, I play mostly in portable mode though and it worked well. I mean the UI is a tad on the small size but re-arranging your inventories really is easier when you can drag items around with your finger. On a game like Terraria, things like inventory management really benefit from the touchscreen capabilities of the Nintendo Switch. I hate playing games on touchscreen-only devices unless they were designed specifically for them. I mean, I know its already out on mobiles and tablets but they don’t have physical buttons and I do like the tactile feel of buttons for games like this. Local multiplayer is one of Terraria’s strong points and with the switch having two built-in controllers it would seem a perfect fit for multiplayer crafting on the go.Īnother reason I thought Terraria would be great on the Switch is the touchscreen. If I had bought the game I would have been very annoyed. I had a browse on the net for answers and it seems the developers are working on it but it will arrive at a later date. The Switch version has not shipped with local multiplayer, I could not believe it. What could go wrong? Well, firstly, something really annoyed me when I sat down with my boys to play a local multiplayer game. It has portability, a touchscreen and the ability to play multiplayer on the go. On to the Switch version then which, let’s be honest, has the potential to be the best console version of them all. It’s still the Terraria you know and love The loot you can find or craft is vast and varied, you can create and all manner of buildings, furnishings, armour and weapons. You start with nothing, build a small shelter and then dig, chop and craft your way to better equipment and therefore, fight harder monsters and bosses. It had the bits I liked from Minecraft but with bosses to fight and a bit more variety to the gameplay loop. I was obsessed with it on the PlayStation and played hours upon hours of it with friends and my kids. Terraria is a very popular crafting, building and survival game. So what makes the Nintendo Switch version different? Is it worth your time and money? These are the questions I will answer in this review and I won’t bother you too much with the ins and outs of Terraria, we all know what it is and what it does. I think we have it on about five devices already in our house, its available on PC, mobiles, tablets, PlayStation and Xbox. Terraria is not a new game, in fact, I don’t think there is a current gaming system that does not have a version of this popular title on it.
