Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal is to involve our community as much as possible in the evolution of the game, and we think the best way to achieve that is to get the game in the hands of players at an early stage. We strive to maintain a good quality of experience throughout the Early Access phase, while we build new gameplay and expand the library of building blocks. We invite the community to follow our progress in detail and share their thoughts and suggestions on the progress of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We will only bring the game out of Early Access when we feel it has reached the right level of quality and completeness. We intend TerraTech to be a living product, so even after Early Access, the game will continue to evolve and grow as long as we are able to support it!

Our current plan is to be 1.0 feature-complete by the end of 2016, with a formal release planned for early 2017.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We are aiming for the following key additions:

Synchronous multiplayer modes
Expanded single-player mission system
New corporations
More blocks for existing corporations
New in-game challenges
Game controller support

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The following is a list of the key content in the Early Access version:

Drag-and-drop building with over 100 unique blocks, items and equipment
Procedurally generated environments with multiple biomes
Ability to scavenge resources from the environment
Ability to build land vehicles, fixed turrets, hovercrafts, rockets and aeroplanes
Three distinct corporations with their own strengths and weaknesses
Modular refining/crafting system using special production blocks
Scripted missions and encounters with AI enemies
Control multiple vehicles using AI
Asynchronous multiplayer features, using AI-controlled shared vehicle designs
Separate challenge modes; 2 Gauntlet courses and the Sumo Showdown
Share vehicle designs with other users via Twitter
User profiles

”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“It is our intention to keep the pricing consistent.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“In order to realise TerraTech’s full potential, we want to involve our community as early and as often as possible. We do this in two ways:

The game continues to evolve with regular updates to our R&D branch, where our core community help review and feedback on new features. This branch is updated with both regular and sometimes more experimental updates. This is the level at which our most dedicated early adopters like to get involved. This branch is accessible via an add-on pack, which can be purchased together with the main game, or as a separate DLC.

For those wanting a more consistent experience, our stable branch offers just that. We aim to update this branch every 2 to 4 weeks, and it consists of any revisions and updates we’ve made during R&D updates that are deemed ready for the main version of the game.

This dual-approach to Early Access development allows us to provide differing levels of contributions from players who are looking for different degrees of involvement. Regardless of how you play or contribute however, we intend to maintain a high quality experience throughout the Early Access phase.

As we move through development and towards a formal release, we will be introducing new features, expanding the item inventory and adding new game modes. We invite the community to follow our progress in detail and share their thoughts and suggestions on the progress of the game.”

About This Game

TerraTech is the multi-award winning sandbox construction and combat game where you design, build and command your very own fleet of unique land and airborne vehicles, as you explore alien worlds and gather precious resources on a quest for glory and profit.

In the distant future, Earth's natural resources have been depleted, and as a resource-gathering prospector it's your job to travel to alien planets and scour them for valuable materials. But you are not alone! Rival prospectors litter the landscapes of these new worlds, and will fight to protect what’s theirs, and invade to take what’s yours.

To make your mark, you will need to be cunning and creative.

Construction

Using the building blocks, guns, wheels, and wings from several Mining Corporations, you can build varied Techs to suit every purpose. Be it powerful armoured combat vehicles, unstoppable resource gathering machines, sprawling resource processing bases or a hybrid of all three - creativity is your key to exo-planetary success.

Exploration

The worlds in TerraTech are procedurally generated and infinite, so there are always new lands to discover and more resources to find. Treacherous mountain ranges, luscious grasslands and huge deserts are among the biomes you will encounter. More will be added as development progresses.

Combat

The intergalactic mining industry is a profitable one, but you are not the only miner in search for new worlds to exploit. Defending yourself from rival miners will take time, resources and skill, with success leading to new territory and new lands. All equipable blocks and items can be damaged or destroyed, so ensuring you are sufficiently armed and ready for battle is a key element of both survival and prosperity in TerraTech. Get out there and show them who’s boss!

Corporations

All exo-planetary miners buy parts from the established Mining Corporations, which each have their own specific brand of mining technology. Get the job done with GSO, zoom around with high-performance recon specialists Venture, or strip-mine to the max with the heavy-duty GeoCorp. New Corporations we’re aiming to add to the game include deranged experimental scientists Reticule Research, military stealth contractors Hawkeye and the hive-mind AI swarms of LEGION. Completing missions and discovering blocks for each Corp will improve your standing with them, and gain access to the more sought-after components in their arsenal.

Crafting

By gathering and processing natural resources, players are able to construct storage, refining and construction bases in order to craft new blocks in the game. Like the look of that Venture Hail Fire Rifle that just tore your vehicle apart? Go prospecting for the needed resources, and craft a couple for yourself in the shiny new Venture fabricator which you just aquired, by beating their time trial challenge in the nearby mountains.

This is an Early Access game, with everything that implies. Please check the System Requirements to ensure your PC is compatible.

Good game, and if anyone plans on playing it, to get the most out of the game make sure you change to the unstable build, to get all the new features first. EDIT: Changed Review because they broke my favorite part of the game. You can no longer build blocks into terrain, making it impossible for me to complete the base i have spent hours building, please revert this change. And you know what should have been changed instead of breaking basebuilding? The GUI, i would love to be able to use the shop without ripping a piece off of my base.

This game is overpriced for how little it has This game has a lot to it, but I'd say still a bit overpriced. This game is beautifully designed and has a pretty fun objective to it. But it gets boring after a bit. (added 8/8/16) The spawn system for enemies could be tweaked a bit.

Edit 2: I Honestly LOVE these kinds of games. But this one just isn't ready yet. I know it's in early access, and I'd love to buy it when it's finished, that is if they (and i'm sure they will) fix some of the things that could bother you.

I love Terra Tech. It is a great game. Many hours of gameplay you never get bored. You can build a base, a new tech, a quad copter, a plane, a hovercraft, race cars, even a race track, a house, garage, and a lot more. The possibilities are endless. BUT, the one issue as you advance in the game is dead blocks scattered around the world! They can cause massive amounts of lag and just make your world look awful. I am not saying do not get this game this review is more of a message I hope I can get to the developers. Please, give us a button which allows us to remove all dead blocks!!!

Its a good game but is near imposible to swich betwen bots ive made but i have an idea that can make it easy to swich between bots. By clicking on the icon that is above the robots it would be much more easy to do or add a set key to allow you to swich to the robot you are looking at (only the robots made by the user). Thank you if you consider this idea.

Terratech is a game that I intially had really high hopes for. I'd played the demo, getting pulled into the gameplay. It was fun, it was fast, and the building was simple. As time went on, I got bored...so I stopped playing for a while. Than I've recently came back and there is change. Positive change, nothing wrong. Except for the things that made me stop playing in the first place hadn't been improved upon.
The things that made me turn away than and are making me turn away again are as follows:

Combat is lacking and rather annoying. There's no point in building this huge tank of a Tech with all these weapons if you're turn-rate is slow. Every Tech, especially those controlled by AI, can be rated, in terms of effectiveness, by their turn-radius and gun coverage. If these areas are lack-luster, than a small machine-gun spamming car can get in the side of it, and dig in from there. Or in the AI's case, run circles around you endlessly until it picks you apart. This problem is especially apparent in fights featuring a large Tech versus one or more smaller Techs.
The game feels very messy. I dont mean that it was sloppily developed, but for the most part, you're going to have loads of spare blocks and weapons littering your world. Everytime you destroy the core of a Tech, it explodes in an admittedly satisfying explosion of parts. While this is satisfying for a while, it becomes a nuisance afterwards. In battles where you're fighting many Techs, you'll find you're bot driving over the discarded parts of deceased Techs, constantly getting stuck or blocked because of this. While adequete ground clearence will mitigate the issue, it doesn't solve the issue of you're wheels rolling over them, causing their own sets of mishaps. While there is a specfic item that solves this issue, it has the drawbacks of being large, heavy, and rather tedious to transport.
Losing a Tech you've worked on and upgraded extensively can be a serious detriment to you're progress midway through the game. You're entire Tech has disassembled itself and is now being guarded by whatever killed you. To make matter's worse the game compounds on the issue by issuing you a replacement Tech. Opps! Your last Tech was destroyed, luckily GSO has sold you a new one.", the game states as it airdrops you, without error surprisingly, a short distance away in a small car equipped with nothing but a small drill and a machine gun, gladly inviting your killer to murder you again, albiet much swifter. God forbid this happen late game when you have a larger Tech with significantly more expensive parts. If you have back ups at your base, than good for thinking ahead, but even that is a time-consuming and resource-intensive failsafe.

It's for these reasons that I would not recommend this game in it's current state, unless the potential buyer has a lot of patience. I don't hate the game, however playing it for too long becomes frustrating. I've got ideas on what can improve the game or at least fix the things I find annyoing.
Things like better AI could help, perhaps instead of circling endlessly, a smaller Tech could run away or keep distance to the target. Melee-focused Techs could rush forward and attempt to pin the target, etc.
Having the bots not explode in a fountain of parts would definately be a step in the right direction. Instead of detonating compleately, I suggest that when teh core is destroyed, it simply falls to pieces like standard parts, leaving whatever is left connected to dead Tech attached. I'd rather see massive, battle-worn corpses littering the deserts instead of hundereds of scatted lamps and lasers. I'd rather have a use for plows in the need to haul large corpses back to base for scrapping.

This is a super fun game.
In the small amount of time I've played this, it's been fun, fast paced and super easy to make techs.
I recommend this game to anyone!

While this game is in early access, and still has a fair way to go.. It's really easy to get used to, easy to create and recreate your tech and overall just an amazing game.
Get it!!

I Reallly love the game. it has a unique style for upgrading that i really enjoy. But i do wish that you could make your own corporation in the game. Im kinda dissapointed with the fact that if you die you are dead permanently. and sometimes its almost like your playing a rage game. i have died 6 times in a row. and one time i couldnt even escape dying. I recommend the game if you want to be highly challenged as one slip up can cause a huge downfall. Overall i think the game needs a little less challenge but its still fun.
