What to consider
Summarized by AITerraria fans tend to want a 2D sandbox where digging, crafting and fighting all feed into each other. These picks keep the pixel-art building and survival loop but pull in different directions: Starbound heads to space, Necesse grows a settlement, CastleMiner Z adds zombies, Don't Starve Together plays it as a team, and Project Zomboid goes grim.
1. Starbound
Best for players who want Terraria's crafting loop stretched across planets and space.
89 votes
If Terraria's crafting and pixel-art survival suit you, this one swaps the underground for the stars. You can follow a story to save the universe, or skip the heroics and colonize planets, farm the land and hop between worlds at your own pace. Nobody tells you there is a right way to play.
Standout features
- Planet-hopping exploration
- Choose your own story
- Farming and colonizing
A procedurally generated world with no edge, where you grow a settlement and send expeditions after pirate kings, dragons and fallen wizards. Terraria's habit of crawling dungeons for treasure and raw materials carries straight over, and the pixel look and multiplayer tag match too. The new part is leading a growing community.
Standout features
- Infinite generated world
- Settlement building
- Boss-style expeditions
3. CastleMiner Z
Best for friends who like digging and crafting but want zombies pressing in.
30 votes
Block-based building and crafting in a huge, ever-changing world, played online with friends. Where Terraria is about open-ended adventure, this one is a survival horror game: you craft modern weapons and hold off a zombie horde and dragons. Expect to build structures, but mostly to defend them.
Standout features
- Block-based building
- Modern weapon crafting
- Online co-op survival
4. Don't Starve Together
Best for groups who want a crafting and survival world made for playing together.
184 votes
Terraria is something you can share with friends, and this standalone multiplayer expansion is built around that. You gather resources, craft items, build structures and fight and farm together in a strange wilderness full of odd creatures. The look is far more sketchbook than pixel art, and the mood is uncompromising.
Standout features
- Built for multiplayer
- Odd, hostile wilderness
- Farm, fight and build
5. Project Zomboid
Best for sandbox players ready to trade adventure for a grim zombie-survival grind.
175 votes
This is the bleak end of the sandbox spectrum. You loot houses, build defences and try to outlast a relentless zombie horde, knowing the game asks how you will die rather than whether. Terraria's survival and building ideas are here, with the cheerfulness removed and the stakes raised.
Standout features
- Open-ended zombie sandbox
- Loot and fortify houses
- Cunning-or-die survival
