What’s Terraria Like on Nintendo Switch?

Haven’t watched the video yet but fun fact is I beat terraria for the first time on switch (atleast beat moonlord) I Techinally beat it on android a long time ago when ocram was still a thing

– Just had my laptop in the shop… While it was on the bench, I resorted to using my tablet for all my usual electronic entertainment purposes. Mobile Terraria gave me several of the same problems you encountered with the Switch Edition. I also ran Journey because I only ever use a controller for playing my MegaMan Battle Network Collection. Oh, and I have Super Mario Sunshine too, but that's a different controller altogether. And learning all the button combos and stuff was really challenging. Was JUST get getting used to building interesting structures with that ghost inventory up yesterday. Got the call just before they closed (5 minutes, when I live 10-15 minutes away) that they were done with the repairs. It's definitely a learning-curve that I can empathize with at this particular time.

– In other news, I like to play Journey mode as a bit of a puzzle-ish game. Where I CAN NOT use ANY thing (even coins), unless it has been fully researched first in-game. If it has anything in the tooltip saying "research # to unlock…" I research it immediately. Easy enough on tools; research what you get, dupe them back up, carry on. But gets a little more challenging when you have to collect 100 palm wood, 5 of any of the tree fruits, or when you decide to fight your first boss.

For example, it takes 3 boss bags to be fully researched, and it takes 3 suspicious eyes to unlock that; and you need to get 50 lens-es, before you can craft your own. If you want to get your hearts up, you need to find 20 first. Etc. It's not super hard, but it front-loads the grind for you, so you still feel the progress, but makes it easier to focus on building, and/or controls at the back end of the research. 😉

– Yeah! YEAH that stupid wind sound IS cracked! (cranked). I had the volume on Mobile down to 15% for music, 25% for sound effects, and like %5 or 10% for AMBIENCE, JUST SO I COULD EVEN HEAR YOUTUBE running as a background app.

7:32 genuinely a skill issue. Then again, I've played every console release of terraia since the first one. I bet if I tried PC I'd have similar problems that you're having though

I've been playing Terraria since 1.3 and that's been exclusively on consoles and mobile. I own it on PSN and Switch and am currently on an X-Box run thanks to Game Pass.

I think it's a solid experience that hasn't stopped me from putting over a thousand hours into the game. controls might seem finicky, but, they're more than efficient.

also, lol, I barely ever use lock on – that's what your right analog stick is for.

Wait… so the switch terraria interface is just the mobile interface?

You should try mobile next, I think its a nice middle ground between keyboard and switch movement and ease of access to play as the touchscreen is very helpful

Really like the title change. This one really caught my attention and described the video very well!!!

This made me feel so good about playing on console😂

i cant play without my keyboard now. used to play on xbox 360 tho

As someone with 920 hours on terraria on switch I can say you do eventually get extremely used to the controls

Also A tip I could give is when trying to manually aim you smart cursors you can quickly switch back-and-forth of either side of your person at much more precise angles

Shi i beat the game with all classes then switch to expert mode beat that switched to master mode summer got brutally shit on by moon lord

I bought terraria on the switch for my son. I struggled with the controls.
