Technical aspects

TerraTech for PC is a game by indie team Payload Studio. The game is set in the far future, when Earth's natural resources have been completely depleted. You play as a space adventurer, whose task is to find resources on an alien planet.

Mechanics

There are three main aspects of the gameplay in TerraTech. The first one focuses on exploring varied environments and searching for minerals, which can be transported to Earth or processed. Another aspect is building vehicles, which become parts of your fleet. The resources required to build them can be extracted from other machines or just collected.

The controllable vehicles consist of several modules. Depending on the elements available at a given time, you can modify them as you see fit. You can create very sophisticated vehicles, from ground transport units, through battle tanks, to light planes. War machines turn out to be necessary, as the third aspect of TerraTech is fighting enemies and capturing their bases.

Daily Star: 4 / 5 by Tom Hutchison

At worst it almost feels like the game is half batting against you so that when you’re downed you have to start building thing up all over again. That said, all in, a fun Lego-like exploration title with a hint of Minecraft and maybe World Of Tanks mixed in there too. There's something for everyone of all ages.

Overall, TerraTech is a fun sandbox game that will get your creative juices flowing as you build new stuff to take on the game's Campaign Mode before you dive into the multiplayer side of things. With more stuff to come from the development team at a later date, you should get a head-start and play TerraTech today so that you're ready!

I had a lot of fun with TerraTech creating vehicles and putting them to work. What surprised me most though was how I was spreading my time out over all of the different game modes. Typically in games like this one, I will stick to one mode and stay with it. It speaks to the smart game design that I wanted to spend time with all of the modes and made it made me better in the game as I got those experiences. If you like Survival/Building games this one takes a unique spin and is definitely worth checking out and investing some time in.
