its fun. but the devs need to re-evaluate. they took away all the cool aspects of the original game. and added tech points. it limits the amount of blocks you can use. you barely build a decent battle bot to get passed some of the world bosses. you get thousands of blocks you cant even use cause you limit out to quick. you have to use a trainer like wemod to eliminate to tech points so you can build however you want. destroying bots, taking the leftover parts and build a monstrosity from it was 90% of the fun from the og game. i like how they changed resource management and different blocks give you bonuses. but you get a frame put some wheels on it 2 guns and a resource laser and your almost maxed out. they need to massively increase the tech points or go back to the og way. still fun game but ill play the og version till they find a better way of doing things.

I've been a fan of TerraTech since its early alpha days, and as a long-time Robocraft player, I instantly fell in love with the game’s unique, niche appeal. The combination of building and battling, the endless optimization of tech, and the satisfying trial and error mechanics kept me hooked. After logging nearly 80 hours, I've completed the original game three times and always found myself eager for more. When TerraTech World became available on Steam, I bought it immediately. Even though the game wasn’t fully optimized at launch and was missing some features, I still had a blast. I could see that the developers were laying the groundwork for something incredible, and they just needed a bit more time to polish the experience. Fast forward six months to the summer update, and I decided to jump back in. Wow! The improvements are incredible! The UI is much cleaner, energy management feels more intuitive, and the addition of automation (reminiscent of Satisfactory) added another 10-20 hours of gameplay just trying to optimize my factory. I absolutely love it! There’s so much potential here, and I’m really excited about what could come next. I know the game hasn't performed as well as expected and that the studio is facing some tough times. But please keep going! The core gameplay is solid, and with continued improvements, I believe it can truly shine. I’d love to see new factions added as DLC, along with giant techs, diverse civilizations (maybe organic or nano-tech themes), and fantasy-inspired elements. Custom skins and cosmetic upgrades would also be a great way for the community to support the game. Thank you for all your hard work. We’ll be here to support you!

The reason this game has mixed reviews is because the playerbase of TerraTech wanted an updated version of the first game with the exact same mechanics. This is in the same genre, but is a very, very different game, and that's a good thing. It learns a lot from other vehicle building games like Trailmakers, but adds some really interesting base building mechanics and an updated crafting system while keeping the original TerraTech charm. I played the demo, and while it has dramatically improved since the demo, my thoughts on it are the same as my thoughts then. This is a great game standalone, and is to TerraTech what Risk of Rain 2 is to Risk of Rain: modernized and updated in many cool ways, enough to make it call back to the original, but still standing on its own as a unique game.

The devs clearly had a totally different inspiration for this game then the original one. The original one was a fantastic time waster with a good pace. That said. this has already evolved into something entirely different then it was on day 1. With mass edits to the reactors and the vehicles themselves and the ability to increase the size... bases act different... increased the way power works, and how items are stored etc... This game is arguably nothing like it was when it was released just a few months ago. The devs are listening to the community and are making insane strides in short amounts of time. Anyone whos played since day 1 knows this.

April 2024

I honestly do like the new direction for TerraTech. Combat is much more engaging, and exploring is much more interesting. The game is still very early (compared to the original TerraTech): Base automation is negligible, many movement styles are missing, and some mechanics are a bit frustrating, but game mechanics wise what is here works pretty well. I am definitely looking forward to the coming roadmap updates.
