MapleStory M vs Terraria
MapleStory M
MapleStory M is the mobile successor of one of the world's most popular, 2D side-scrolling, anime-themed MMORPG. Designed specifically for the mobile platform, this game not only provides players with a whole new storyline but also brand-new regions to explore (in addition to all the old ones), amazing features to enjoy, gorgeous cosmetic items to put on, as well as challenging dungeons to raid and raid bosses to defeat.Like its predecessor, MapleStory M is completely free-to-play, though f2p players may find the game a bit grindy if they insist on spending no money on the game. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
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!
