7 Games Like Minecraft – Like Minecraft, Only Different

#6 Terraria

Terraria is what you’d get if you combined Minecraft with the likes of Metroid or Castlevania. It can be best described as a side-scrolling game with elements of construction and adventure.

Designed primarily as a cooperative experience, Terraria invites players to team up and construct a fortress of their imagination while fending against the wilderness. Players can embark on adventures overland and underground, earning treasures and materials which they can then use to build and furnish their constructions. These constructions invite non-player characters to occupy them and provide the players with new items to purchase.

In addition to underground caverns and random monsters who spawn during the night, maps even contain dungeons for players to crawl their way through and kill giant boss monsters.
