    A bland, by the book action-rpg set in a sci-fi world. With your choice of 3 classes(each with different trainable skill sets) you'll embark on a fairly uneventful dungeon crawler through three forgettable locales each with their own distinct mobs.

With your choice of 3 classes(each with different trainable skill sets) you'll embark on a fairly uneventful dungeon crawler through three forgettable locales each with their own distinct mobs. While the classes and builds make for a bit of intrigue you'll quickly be mired in repetition as you clear room after room without much to distinguish each one from the last. In typical crawler fashion the game is broken into three acts each capped by an uninspiring boss encounter. Scant puzzles do very little to break up what it otherwise a mindless grind that is stretched to a robust +12 hour play time. The game also features an incredibly frustrating lack of responsiveness from the controls. Attempts to pivot and free fire are often ignored as you find yourself running directly into damage(and often death) instead.

    While it had the potential to be a good title there just isn't enough there to warrant the time commitment and achievement collectors will also be disappointed at the absence of any. Unless you are a die hard fan of the genre or have a fetish for poor controls I'd suggest spending your time elsewhere.    … Expand

    The story of GREED takes place in an adult and mature science fiction scenario. In the futuristic universe of GREED the discovery of novel interstellar travel possibilities has led to a new age of colonization. The five largest colonial powers are entangled in a full-scale war over a new element called Ikarium, the recently discovered rare source of nearly unlimited energy. You as a former member of an elite military unit will fight a battle for your survival not knowing that your actions will lead fate of all mankind into dramatic consequences. Story of the game is poor and empty. I think that none will pay attention on it, cause it    … Expand

    Clunky controls, uninteresting gameplay, boring story. You've seen and done it all before, and probably a better. It's cheap though, but you might want to keep your money and wait until something better comes along.

    Mmmm, a game that tries to be diablo but isn't as good. the leveling system is to basic and do noting to change your character . the class also feel "basic". The game has really terrible controls.IT plays like it wants to be a top down shooter but it has slow diablo controls. Sometimes the "traps" that you need to get though need quick reflex, and you can't do that with the controls.

The story is also basic and you aren't immersed into it. the graphics aren't too bad for the price of the game, however you will notice that the character model are a bit "basic". The music is not really noteworthy because it is bland and boring. It may be tempting for five bucks, but you can get better games for that much and just leave this game in the virtual bargain bin.… Expand

    All things considered, there is a place for Greed: fans of the point-and-click "Diablo" style of gameplay will find quite a lot to enjoy here, and for all of its quirks, it still does offer a pretty immersive universe to delve into and all for 20 bucks.
