TerraTech is an open-world, sandbox adventure game, where you design and build your own creations through a mix of crafting, combat and discovery. Design vehicles from a huge library of blocks. Scavenge, craft and buy new parts to survive and become the ultimate planetary prospector.
At the heart of the experience, players freely combine a wide variety of functional blocks - representing components like wheels, thrusters, weapons, and storage - to create bespoke vehicles tailored to their needs. Whether designing a nimble reconnaissance buggy, a heavily-armored combat tank, or a sprawling mobile factory, the possibilities for creative vehicle construction are vast.
As players progress, they can unlock new block types and upgrades by completing missions, defeating enemy vehicles, and increasing their standing with the game's different factions. This progression system drives players to experiment with new designs and playstyles, while the ability to salvage parts from defeated enemies adds a dynamic, reactive element to customization.
The open-world, procedurally-generated environments encourage players to engage in emergent gameplay and discovery. Diverse biomes, from lush grasslands to harsh deserts, contain a wealth of resources to gather and new challenges to overcome. Encountering and battling against other player-created vehicles, which can dynamically invade the player's world, adds an element of unpredictability to the experience.
In addition to the single-player campaign, the game offers several multiplayer modes. The co-op campaign allows friends to collaborate in building, exploring, and defending a shared world. The Deathmatch Arena and Sumo game modes provide more direct competitive experiences, where players can pit their custom vehicles against one another in battle.
