Highlights of this massive downdate include:
DIG
- 12 Biomes to explore - who needs locations like the Ice Biome... too darned cold!
- Be careful not to trip as you leap over single-high blocks
- Rope? Minecarts? Blocks and platforms will suffice.
- The Crimson was deemed too nasty and the Hallow too sweet, so they both have been kicked to the curb.
- Demon Altars (those purple spiky things) are now immortal - resistance is futile!
- Cacti can and will damage you - I mean they ARE covered in needles after all
- Built-in Bunny Protection will prevent you from accidental Bunny-cide.
- Delve deep into caves free from the threat of boulders and traps
FIGHT
- Over 360 items/weapons/armor/etc. to find and craft
- 45 enemies will seek to defeat you at every turn!
- Defeat the Goblin Army to obtain the greatest mobility accessory in the game, the Rocket Boots!
- To maintain accuracy the Scraggler was re-added then promptly removed
- Four challenging boss encounters await
- Face the terrifying Final Boss, Skeletron!
- Challenge the endgame Dungeon for fortune and glory!
BUILD
- All 8 NPCs are now clearly labeled by their role so you don't have to remember that Helen is your Nurse
- Enjoy the streamlined experience of items without any nasty modifiers - no Goblin Tinkerer to take your hard-earned coins here!
- Speaking of coins, you are going to need to carry them with you if you want to buy something.
- Valid housing? Figure it out yourself.
- Axes are now required to chop up all wood blocks - we don't want any accidents!
- Chests contain a whopping 20 storage slots for you to stash your piles of loot!
- Avoid accidentally using items by being sure they are in your hotbar prior to use - waste not, want not!
- Wire? Where you are going, you won't need wires.
- Paints? Dyes? Angles and slopes? Who needs that kind of variety in their life?
