Terraria is a loop of digging deeper, building better gear and beating the boss that opens the next stage. These keep that loop, in two dimensions or three, alone or with friends.

£11.99 at GOG
The nearest 2D relative: dig, build and craft across whole planets, with a spaceship to fly between them and quests to give it a shape.
£7.58 −53% at Green Man Gaming
Top-down rather than side-on, but the same idea: start in a cave, dig outward, and let each boss open the next part of the map. Eight-player co-op.
£23.49 at Green Man Gaming
Terraria's shape in 3D, with Vikings: each boss you beat unlocks the metal for the next biome. Best with friends.
£10.99 at Humble
No building, but the same joy of finding a new cavern and a boss waiting at the bottom of it, in a beautifully drawn 2D world.
£2.24 −85% at Humble
Digging as the whole game: tunnel down, sell what you find and upgrade your tools, in a short and polished 2D adventure.
£5.59 −60% at GOG
Dig for ore underground, then rush up to defend your dome from the next wave. Short runs of Terraria's dig-then-fight rhythm.
£5.25 −65% at GOG
Gather, craft and expand at a much faster clip, with a little combat and a lot of unlocking.
£10.99 at GOG
Calmer, but with a mine full of monsters and ore under the farm. A good pick for a Terraria player's quieter evenings.
