SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Easily play with friends locally with the included local multiplayer
You can play with up to 4 players over local Wi-Fi.
Pro Allows for freedom of expression for all ages, all at your own pacing
The game has all kinds of tools and materials that you can acquire and use to build whatever you can imagine. From housing, furniture, weapons, to any type of structure, the possibilities are almost endless. Which is great for children who enjoy building and problem solving – and for adults who enjoy the same. It also makes for a great objective-less game, where you can do just about anything you want at your own pace.
Pro Convenient auto save helps with a game that may crash
There is a built in auto save in Terraria that has the game saved every 2 minutes. This way users will not lose much data if the game crashes or their battery dies, which is a possibility.
Pro Always a new experience thanks to the random generation of the game
Upon start of the game, a world is randomly generated, which allows the user to get a new experience any time they start. This makes for unlimited replayability through random generation.
Pro Contrasting bright and happy graphics against the suspenseful survival gameplay makes for a game creates a feeling of urgency
Instead of building a deliberate feeling of suspense, Terraria uses bright palettes and arcade action to provide a fun experience outside of the survival elements. When those elements gradually appear one by one, each is all the more shocking, This contrast makes for an ever growing sense of urgency in the game, in order to craft a safe space as well as weapons to protect oneself.
Pro You never run out of things to do, or areas to explore
Terraria has a randomly generated world with all kinds of different areas to explore, items to find and craft, and secrets to unearth. There is a basic introduction to the game, but mostly everything revolves around experimenting and exploring.
Pro You can easily test the game for free thanks to the free trial version
A trial version of the game can be downloaded on Google Play. A feature of the trial version is that it does have a full game unlock through an in-app-purchase (for those that don't want to lose their games progress by downloading a different version of the game).
Pro View in full screen with the included immersive mode support
Terraria features immersive mode on any Android device version 4.4+. This way the game can be played full screen on devices that use stock Android and the software navigation bar.
Cons
Con Risk of loosing data
Many users have reported that they have lost save games as well as cloud save files. Whether it is caused by the game updating or just random bugginess is still unknown as the devs have not responded to these issues.
Con Game version tends to be a few months behind the PC version
So if you're looking for the latest Terraria features, try PC instead.
Con Cloud saving is broken
Currently cloud saving is broken so that means you can build your world but it sits in your phone. You cannot back it up, you cannot sync it with other devices, nor even manually backup unless your device is rooted. There is also a bug where the game that was saved in a previous version in cloud save (when it was working) will not load into the new updated game.
