Creativerse vs Terraria
Creativerse
Creativerse is a voxel-based, sandbox MMO game that's still relatively new on the internet. Available on Steam, the game may seem to be a Minecraft clone at first glance, but we assure you - it's most definitely not a clone despite retaining most of the core game concepts that had made Minecraft so popular.So, basically, you'll be mining for blocks out in the world and craft them into weapons, structures, tools (including mechanical wings that will allow you to fly) and the like at the respective crafting tables. Of course, there's also the not-so-minor detail of surviving to the next day unharmed and well-fed, which mainly involves you building up your own shelter and gathering foodstuff.
Unlike Minecraft though, Creativerse is more of an MMO since it has an interesting storyline, providing players with a sense of direction that isn't obviously present in Minecraft. You'll also have access to more convenience items such as the touchstone which will teleport you to a single pre-linked spawning location... and yes, the location can be set at your shelter as well.
So, if all of these sound great to you, well, be sure to download Creativerse on Steam now and check out the game. It's admittedly no Minecraft, but some may go as far out as to say that Creativerse is so much better.
Terraria
Terraria is one of the biggest breakout indie game of 2011 and, like Minecraft, is still incredibly popular until today. However, despite the many similarities between Terraria and Minecraft which is mainly because they are both sandbox games, Terraria is a definitely much more fleshed out version of Minecraft without all the 3D voxels but with 2D pixels instead. The great thing about Terraria though is that it has more of everything that Minecraft has - more recipes, more enemies, more pets, more bosses... well, like we said, more everything. The depth in Terraria is simply astounding!Combat also feels action-packed in spite of being 2D and interestingly, the game provides an immersive storyline that you can follow... again, unlike in Minecraft where you literally have to create your own story if you want all of that. The game is cross-platform game and supports multiplayer as well.
In short though, we'd say that Terraria is more suited to adventure-based RPG gameplay rather than Minecraft but unfortunately, not everyone likes its 2D looks. So, if you're a fan of Minecraft and you don't really mind 2D games, you should definitely check out Terraria. You'll be blown away by the overwhelming size of the content!
