Is Old Terraria Still Fun in 2025? #terraria
I decided to revisit 1.0 Terraria to see if the game was still great back then. So, let’s answer the question. Is 1.0 Terraria as good as people remember? Well, kind of. The obvious issue with this version of the game is that it lacks so much content compared to the game now. There are only three boss fights, way fewer accessories, and barely any cool weapons. With that being said, I do believe that 1.0 has something very special that sets it apart from modern Terraria. The atmosphere. 1.0 Terraria has a much darker tone than the current game does. The choppy lighting, the graphics, even the music. Everything about this version of the game has a mysterious feel to it. Ultimately, I think that 1.0 0 Terraria obviously lacks a lot of features that make Terraria great today, but it’s definitely worth checking

Is there anything you miss from old Terraria? 🤔
Idk about pc, but on console you can change the lighting to be the same as 1.0
I didn’t play 1.0 but it was early and there was something magical about my pumpkin house in the snow.
i will introduce my son to this first, then 1.4 then 1.3 calamity mod
1.0 terraria looks like one of these creepy pastas where you find an alternative version of a game that's unrealessd and cursed 😂
1.0 is prolly the version that gives it the "2D minecraft" status, purely because it has that same nostalgic and mysterious feel that the earlier minecraft versions have. obviously terraria was never 2D minecraft, but man is it nice to just go back and see where it all began
Sky islands with buildings made of copper silver gold bricks and having the respective ores in the island.
I’d take those over the current sky islands.
I feel like that’s common among lots of old indie games. Minecraft, PZ, etc.
this is like minecraft's bata 1.7.3 not a lot of content but it has that charm to it
Istg if 1.0 elitists start to appear im gonna lose it Minecraft Beta elitists were annoying enough.
I first played and finished the game on PS3. I was completely overwhelmed by all the changes when I played on PC
You can change the lighting to look like the old one and you could use texture packs
Still one more boss than Minecraft. Mojang can do so much but does nothing
I remember playing this😢😢😢
It depends on why you like Terraria tbh. I imagine it’s good for chilling, and that’s it
Its just nostalgia, terraria is amazing now and will be even better in 1.4.5, i do not understand why do people preffer less content but old rather than a lot of content rn
It's ight
It feels empty and soulles
The furnace also looks better imo
Man i rember playing 1.0 on an xbox when i was super young. I rember being terrified of the eye bosses
Terraria is a chill game, but every time I play it, it's like a boss rush.
all this atmosphere stuff is generally just because a game can be old
its the same with minecraft, the older mroe bare bones atmosphere can be mysterious – being someone who really doesnt get the hype about that kind of tone i never play old versions of these games
The appeal of 1.0 Terraria is much akin to Alpha and Beta Minecraft. Much more focused on survival and exploration aspects, very mysterious, grim yet particularly nostalgic in visuals.
How do you change versions to play older terraria; is this also possible to revisit 1.2
Is just nostalgia tbh , of course terraria is a better game now, but why not give love to previous versions that gave us plenty of good times ?I used to play MC when there was only 4 biomes and 4 mobs and had the time of my life
Still more content than minecraft today
Different theme songs or at least not remixed
1.1 is on top!
I recently revisited Xbox 360 Terraria and had a blast. Can’t wait finally have my long awaited showdown with Ocram.
Ah yes, old-school Terraria, where there's only one kind of evil biome, and the dungeon is post-game content.
Good times.
