The game's story is minimal and largely procedural, with players primarily engaging in a series of side quests rather than a compelling main narrative. While there is a light overarching plot and some lore, the quests often feel repetitive and generic, lacking the depth needed to create a truly immersive experience. Overall, the focus is more on gameplay mechanics and random encounters than on storytelling, making it feel more like a collection of tasks than a cohesive adventure.
- “There is a storyline so you do not feel like you are pointlessly going through for no reason.”
- “It scratches that itch for fulfilling quests and wandering about with some surprises as you task your way to fighting the big bad.”
- “Unlike an RPG, there is no scripted plot; rather, a story and optional main quest emerges.”
- “The game basically feels like you're playing inside a world of side quests as if the main storyline has already been completed, never quite getting off the ground to truly feel compelling, more like a second job.”
- “It's just slightly lacking in the oomph necessary to really give you an impetus to keep playing; after 10 hours, I had a world full of rich and loyal towns, but I just couldn't be bothered continuing to search for more random infinite side quests whose only rewards I knew by then would be bigger numbers and another round of side quests.”
- “The game does not have much of a story; you really just jump from quest to quest.”

The gameplay in this title is characterized by an addictive loop that combines simple yet satisfying mechanics with strategic and tactical elements, allowing for varied character builds and engaging encounters. While many players appreciate the clever mechanics and the surprises that come with random events, some criticize the repetitive nature of gameplay and the lack of content, suggesting that it feels bare-bones at times. Overall, the game shows promise with its solid foundation, but it may require further development to enhance depth and polish.
- “The gameplay feels very strategic and tactical, constantly demanding from the player their full attention while dealing with the character’s resources, life, stamina, and hunger.”
- “The different classes make for varied gameplay and do not lock you into anything; you can really build your character however you want.”
- “Overall, I’m having a great time; the developer is super active and communicative, and the gameplay feels very polished and satisfying.”
- “That is a game ruining mechanic when you're in a boss fight, which is what this game is based around.”
- “Gameplay is paced but repetitive.”
- “I'm sure Terra Randoma will improve as development continues, and gets some actual features and mechanics beyond the skeleton of a world and game, but for now I don't recommend spending money on it unless you're really into the full RNG thing and are okay with basically crowdfunding that concept into a more fleshed out game.”

The graphics of Terra Randoma are characterized by a charming, old-school tabletop aesthetic that some players find delightful, evoking the feel of playing with miniatures. While the visuals are generally praised for their unique style and pleasant design, some reviewers note that improvements could be made, particularly in animations and enemy designs. Overall, the game's graphics contribute positively to its immersive experience, despite some criticisms regarding their simplicity.
- “The graphics are really cool.”
- “It's a roguelike, and you've seen this before -- doing quests and slaying beasts and upgrading equipment -- but all of the components are unusually well-executed, and all wrapped in an extremely graphically pleasing look-and-feel that's almost like moving miniatures around a tabletop.”
- “With a charming tabletop aesthetic and detailed world simulation, Terra Randoma is one turn-based tactics-focused traditional roguelike that is more than just a dungeon crawler; it is a world crawler!”
- “Visuals could have been better.”
- “I see it has its own art style and it's surely hard to create a game with great visuals when you just have limited resources and you are a solo dev, but I think some refinements could be done on some enemies.”
- “I initially did not get the game's appeal and ignored it, mainly because the graphics gave me the idea the gameplay itself was limited, but after watching a recent video I got more interested and I'm happy I gave the game a shot.”
replayability

The game boasts high replayability due to its procedurally generated worlds, diverse class mechanics, and customizable map options, ensuring each playthrough feels unique. While many players appreciate the balance and resource scarcity that keeps the gameplay engaging, some feel that the random elements, such as identical shops and quests, may not significantly enhance the experience. Overall, it offers a compelling mix of depth and variety that encourages repeated play.
- “The game is actually fantastically balanced, highly replayable, and has just the right amount of resource scarcity to never feel like you get over the hump (on normal hardcore at least).”
- “Like traditional roguelikes, the world is procedurally generated for unlimited replay value, and you get to decide if permadeath is something you wish to cope with.”
- “Replayable: each randomized game is a different world, classes play differently, meaning each game is its own experience.”
- “Random elements in roguelikes are there to add replayability to your game by not having identical level layout and monster/loot placement every run, but personally I don't find visiting a new random town full of identical shops and randomly generated quests alters the experience in any meaningful or interesting way that makes me want to play again.”
- “I could ask for more content, but really the classes and abilities make it replayable.”
- “The procedurally generated world offers some replayability.”
