Terrorarium borrows heavily from other larger titles, and due to poor execution and lack of polish, never really steps out from those shadows

Terrorarium is an action puzzler game about wanton destruction & adorable gore across a galaxy of community-designed murder gardens. Like every great villain, you have been foiled for the last time. And this time you mean it. Those fools at the Intergalactic Horrorcultural Society have given the blue ribbon -- your blue ribbon -- to some ill-deserving pretender to the throne for too many star c…

  • Engaging and simple gameplay suitable for kids and casual players, involving managing and throwing Moogu creatures to solve puzzles.
  • Robust level creation and community involvement with a level editor and Steam Workshop support, allowing for extended replayability and creative content sharing.
  • Charming and unique art style with low system requirements, accompanied by a friendly and responsive developer community that actively listens to player feedback.
  • Limited and repetitive base game content with few levels, lacking depth in mechanics and minimal story integration, leading to a monotonous experience.
  • Gameplay issues include frustrating AI pathing, easy-to-die characters requiring frequent level restarts, awkward controls, and some bugs and crashes, especially in the level editor.
  • High price point relative to content offered and polish, with early access status contributing to mixed quality in levels and mechanics.
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is simple and accessible, especially for younger players, involving mechanics like finding and throwing characters at enemies. However, many reviewers find the mechanics lack depth and evolution beyond early levels, with some puzzles feeling repetitive or wonky. While comparable to games like Pikmin in concept, the gameplay still needs refinement and greater complexity to fully satisfy puzzle enthusiasts.

    • “This can be seen in very challenging levels which can be solved once you figure out the mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay of Terrorarium can be compared to Nintendo's title 'Pikmin', as the resource management mechanics and concepts are similar.”
    • “As of writing this review, the gameplay in Terrorarium is solid.”
    • “Yet another issue with the game is how simplistic its mechanics are. After the first introductory levels where everything is unveiled, it does not evolve; there are no other moogul breeds past the initial three or different objects besides the elevators and breakable ones.”
    • “I'd say around 85% of the levels are satisfactory, while the other 15% just aren't either aesthetically pleasing or the puzzle/mechanics are a bit wonky.”
    • “An easy two-thirds of the levels feel like they are just about introducing basic mechanics, something that could be condensed down to perhaps half the levels for release, and the rest feels a bit messy.”
  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in Terrorarium is largely insignificant, serving mainly as superficial context delivered through a few cutscenes and minimal plot elements. While the main plot involving a space grandma and a horticulture contest is straightforward, it lacks depth and does not meaningfully impact gameplay beyond a handful of story mode levels. Additionally, outside these few interstitials, there is little lore or narrative substance throughout the game.

    • “The plot revolves around a space grandma with a passion for horticulture who, after participating many times, has always ended up second in the 'terrorarium' contest.”
    • “Later into the story, the contest organizers catch wind about the grandma’s use of moogul’s and request a sample to determine if she truly has them.”
    • “The main story plot itself is fine.”
    • “Terrorarium’s story is basically irrelevant; it only appears in a few cutscenes found in the story mode.”
    • “It is pretty evident the story is just there to add some fluff, without any real depth or importance.”
    • “The plot revolves around a space grandma with a passion for horticulture who, despite many attempts, has always ended up second in the 'terrorarium' contest.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a simple, low-poly style with significant asset reuse, resulting in mostly satisfactory visuals, though some levels lack aesthetic appeal. However, the graphics are praised for being charming and not demanding on hardware, making the game accessible on low-spec laptops.

    • “It is also a very fun game with both the aesthetics and jokes within the game.”
    • “The graphics in Terrorarium are simply wonderful.”
    • “Additionally, it is not graphically intensive, so you should be able to play this on even relatively low-spec laptops.”
    • “The game’s graphics are pretty simple, almost everything is rendered in a low poly style and there is a huge amount of asset reuse.”
    • “I'd say around 85% of the levels are satisfactory, while the other 15% just aren't either aesthetically pleasing or the puzzle/mechanics are a bit wonky.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is simplistic and repetitive, featuring a limited number of clichéd "alien" tracks that play repeatedly across levels. Both the soundtrack and sound effects lack variety and fail to enhance the overall experience.

    • “On top of the graphics not being the best, the sound is no improvement; both soundtrack and sound effects are simplistic and repetitive.”
    • “The soundtrack consists of a few tracks of clichéd 'alien' music that repeat level after level.”
    • “The soundtrack consists of a few tracks of clichéd 'alien' music that repeat level after level.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is occasionally noticeable but generally not excessive, offering a manageable level of repetitive gameplay.
