Terraria isn’t a BULLETHELL game

Terraria isn’t a BULLETHELL game

Is Terraria a bullet hell game well I’d have to say no including even the modded content I know some of you are immediately going to start yelling at me about oh but look at mutant from Fargo’s cargo mod or the the Supreme calamitus boss from the hit mode Calamity mod but

Calm your tiny little Mount since I will be elaborating on my thoughts in more detail later in the video Terraria in its purest and most casual form is a 2d open world survival craft casual Sandbox game where the main focus is debatably on building Mining and exploring of

Course you have to defend yourself from enemies as well on your journey throughout the game a lot people say the most unique thing about Terraria when comparing it to Minecraft is its lengthy and plentiful vertical progression of which The Gatekeepers are the many many bosses of the game which is exactly what

We’re going to be talking about the the bosses are the reason some people call Teraria bullet game the main perpetrator being Empress of light and maybe lunatic ctist and moon Lord as well in some people’s cases many keep calling EOL the buetel boss which it technically is I

Guess sure it’s UND debatable that she does shoot out a ton of projectiles but it’s not even about the amount in all honesty bullet in general is a word I see getting thrown around a lot within the online space as like this misconceived generalization of difficulty in 2D sidescroller SL Metroid

Vanas for example I found this random Hollow night video where this guy fights grim and it’s called Hollow night bullet Hill boss okay first of all this is the farthest thing from a bullet Hill boss uh lifts glasses both projectile amount wise and literally the entire game wise

This is a soulslike Metroid Vania with its main focus being on reactionary gameplay where you have to be aware on how to dodge and attack via the knowledge gathered from for attempts that sounds kind of familiar if I’m being real honest with you of course most bullet bosses also require dodging

Skills but the reactionary skills I’d say that in most cases of buetel the reactionary part comes secondary to pattern recognition and positioning skills the traditional bullets are usually quite slow but overridden with an overwhelming amount of projectiles which you have to train your for mentioned positioning for the Dodge you

Have to train your eyes to spot gaps between the projectile patterns and find this Hidden Trail hidden in this pattern that you can slowly and carefully float through definition wise bullet Hells AKA danmaku also known as manic Shooters are a sub Sher of shoot them up video games featuring large amounts of projectiles

The players characters are required to dodge this description from Wikipedia almost describes the action side of Terraria the boss fights in specific or well the single boss fight that being the Empress of light though if we Trace back to what I just said a few second

Seconds ago you have to train your eyes to spot gaps between the projectile patterns and find this Hidden Trail hidden in this pattern that you can slowly and carefully float through gameplay-wise it’s totally different the biggest problem with terraria’s bullet held side of things is its movement system you have omnidirectional movement

As you do in most bullet head games but there’s a huge difference with the addition of dynamic speed let’s bring up the most stereotypical example of bullet Toho here you can move omnidirectionally without a single setback or problem though in Terraria we have this thing called limited flight time this

Prohibits vertical Movement by a ton and makes vertical movement a resource management Min game don’t even get me started on the prehard mode movement accessories which go against every law of bullet movement systems though that isn’t even the biggest problem you know what is velocity in Tojo and most other

Bullet Hil games you press D instantly move right at Max Speed then let go of D and your character stops the instant you do in Terraria you press D speed up over the span of around a second reach maximum speed let go of the slide about four

Blocks and then finally come to a complete halt same goes for vertical movement though experienced Terraria players have their own way of dealing with these issues for example using a dashing accessory immediately set you at Max movement Speed without having to wind up your legs with the Hermes boots

And the Slime saddle immediately makes you fall down at more than maximum speed after equipping it so that you won’t have to wait for your upward swing velocity to wear off and then finally fall down at a mediocre speed of course you can also utilize hooks to get an immediate Max velocity boost

Omnidirectionally this in its own way makes terraria’s movement system much more in-depth than our traditional bullet HTH now the topic many people have been waiting for mod Terraria Terraria is an extreme welcoming game when it comes to moding since it’s in the scripting language of C which is one

Of the more straightforward ones due to this there have been quite a few mods being made especially now that the mod loader is on Steam most people who mod the game or play mods generally gravitate towards the boss fight side of things this is basically just an over

Complicated way to transition over to talking about modded bosses anyways there are indeed a few modded bosses that either follow the traditional bullet Hill patterns or straight up copy paste other bullet game bosses into Terraria though something I’ve kind of realized over the years is that

Importing a bullet H boss into a game which isn’t meant for bullet Hells with its movement system doesn’t really make the game a bullet game nor play like a bullet game I know it sounds stupid but hear me out playing a bullet game is like playing a fast-paced game of chess

You aim to position your piece in a safe spot keeping in mind where you want to move it later in the game game same goes for Terraria bullet bosses which we’ll take Supreme calamitus as an example for she quite literally has attacks refer to as bullet HS which they really are I

Mean look at all these projectiles where would you move from here I mean I’d move here but oh wait if I did I’d run out of wing flight time unlucky okay let’s see I guess I’ll move here then oh wait the diagonal downward movement in this game

Is not to even be considered if you have built up or neutral upward so that’s a nogo I guess I’ll move into this space then oh wait I forgot my slime saddle at home okay I’ll just make the traditional diagonal Dash move and maybe another one and maybe another one

And maybe another one and that’s how the circle Strat was born anyways I think you get what I’m trying to say Terraria has a much more restricted in-depth movement system that requires you to familiarize yourself with it the movement options SL physics limit your choices when it comes to dodging in most

Situations mostly due to Sliding now let’s see what would happen if we gave Terraria a traditional bullet Hill game movement system with the EXO box from Calamity the weaving and dodging becomes a piece of cake I can get to where I want to go without a problem in the

World if only a bit slower if we took out Dynamic velocity from Terraria it would be a much much easier game though the velocity is exactly what sets it apart from the traditional bullet Hills and I personally love that it gives it much more soul and uniqueness speaking

Of which the amount of bullets does not matter when it comes to difficulty look at the infernum do or Thanos or yaron for sake this shit’s practically a Dark Souls rolling simulator at this point and that’s why I personally love it more than any Bullet Head game

Anyways that was my soy jacking outing of some definitely inconsequential opinions and takes on Terraria the crazy thing is that according to all my logic undertale isn’t the bullet Hill game either technically in most cases at least I mean there are definitely a few bullet H attacks here and there but the

Hardest part of the game is a literal platformer so give me a break I guess it’s my own fault for trying to make a video on such a delicate and specific subject whatever hope you enjoyed it either way Peace join our Clash of Clans CL Clan Clan Clan CL code this is the code

A little change of pace from my usual content. I enjoyed making this a lot, though I kinda realised that my discussion is generally all over the place. I’ll add a shortened explanation in the comments for anyone confused with my takes.
