Super Mario Run vs Terraria
Super Mario Run
Super Mario Run is a mobile 2D platform-based arcade game created by Nintendo. The game puts you into Mario's shoes once again but this time, due to auto-running, you won't have full control over Mario himself. That said, you can still make him jump over obstacles, collect coins and mushrooms, jump on enemies, as well as perform cool wall jumps. Thankfully, as the game's speed doesn't increase as you play since the game can be rather complex and getting accurate jumps is of the utmost importance, especially if you aim to get the highest score.The game even has a small castle-building and decorating aspect when you're not out adventuring. There is also the Rush mode where you can attemtp to beat other players’ high scores in the fastest time possible.
If you're a huge fan of everything Mario, Super Mario Run is definitely the game for you. But even if you're not, this game is an incredibly well-made platformer that brings this successful franchise to the mobile market for free. The game is worth your time, that's for sure!
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!
