    A nice little gem that really deserves more attention. Basic leveling system, basic skill tree, ok graphics and slightly repetitive gameplay... but I absolutely love this game. It has a lot of charm, a great soundtrack and I found myself getting immersed in the world and getting an urge to play it more and more. Pick it up, it's only 5 bucks on steam and well worth the money.

    Greed: Black Border is a sci-fi Diablo-style ARPG, a relative rarity compared to those with a fantasy setting, that casts the player as one of three ex-government operatives (Plasma, Marine, or Pyro, long, medium and short-ranged fighters respectively) that find themselves trapped aboard a derelict mining vessel. In comparison to other games in the genre Greed feels somewhat bare bones andGreed: Black Border is a sci-fi Diablo-style ARPG, a relative rarity compared to those with a fantasy setting, that casts the player as one of three ex-government operatives (Plasma, Marine, or Pyro, long, medium and short-ranged fighters respectively) that find themselves trapped aboard a derelict mining vessel. In comparison to other games in the genre Greed feels somewhat bare bones and not well-tested prior to release, with a limited range of environments and enemies. You can equip only one active and two passive abilities at a time, though you can switch these with hotkeys. You also have very few equipment slots and no weapon variety at all, as all weapons you find are simply stronger variants of your class’s themed weapon. There is only one NPC in the game to speak with, the shopkeeper, and he has a decidedly irritating voice. Combat itself is mostly entertaining but enemies scale quickly up in health and damage output, and you can actually find yourself running out of health kits because you are forced to constantly use them to stay alive. The boss fights are very prolonged, with absurd health counts and high-damage attacks that force you to clickdance your character to stay alive long enough to take them down. In spite of all the above complaints, I enjoyed Greed just enough to play it through the end as the Marine, out of my love of the genre if not anything else. I may return to it at some point to try the other two classes, but I don’t expect much of a different experience. If you enjoy ARPGs and Diablolikes in particular as much as I do, you might enjoy Greed, but if you’re looking for something of higher quality I would recommend the Torchlight series. It’s a shame there aren’t more, better sci-fi Diablolikes out there. It has good music though! I have the soundtrack on my player. 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.
