King Arthur's Gold - 16-Bit Wonderfulness
Dexxtter:
WebsiteBUILD'N'KILL!
A long time ago, sometime, somewhere in a land of knights in shining armour and burning peasants a war had begun...
King Arthur's Gold - affectionately known as KAG - is a unique build 'n' kill game. Think the creative aspects of Minecraft, plus the fortress-building mechanic of Dwarf Fortress, plus the strategy of Age of Empires 2, plus the fast-paced class-based craziness of Team Fortress 2... with all the unnecessary elements trimmed off, wrapped up in some cross-platform goodness and sprinkled with tasty, tasty pixels.
Why you will want to PLAY IT?
* It's bloody FUN. After playing KAG you will redefine the word fun. No joke.
* It's SIMPLE enough to pick up and play within 5 minutes but will hook you for months.
* The demo is FREE. You don't have to spend money to try it out. It isn't even a big download!
...plus you can build a fortress in multiplayer and fight with your friends against ZOMBIES! Sorry for spoiling that, before we mention zombies you should read this wall of features:

The only Terraria related thing I see is the fact that its 2D and made of cubes.

Oh it came out of beta? I played during the beta. It's really fun, but I remember there being a lot of richards on multiplayer.
