Pelit (Finland)An excellent turn-based combat game. It's deceptively simple and fast-paced. The harvesters and destructible ground are really good ideas. [Apr 2010]
-
Greed Corp is a simple strategy game within the huge Xbox Live Arcade portfolio, but it has enough differentiating details to stand out above the rest.
-
Feb 8, 2011Do not be fooled by the seemingly simple mechanics, this game is hardcore turn based strategy at its finest and even gaming veterans will have a hard time mastering it. Definitely a must buy if you like the genre, considering the low price tag.
-
Greed Corp does what's important for a small turn-based strategy game: keep it simple, allow for depth.
-
Greed Corp is a wonderful little title which is highly addictive and quite original in its style of play. It is a tricky game to start with, however if you stick with it then you will begin to appreciate what a great little game it is.
-
This slow-starting strategy game is deliciously destructible once you learn the ropes.
-
Its clever use of environmental destruction creates a faster paced game while its light feature set cuts down the steep learning curve the genre can be known for. Greed Corp. puts strategy first, delivering a game that fits the venerable bill of easy to learn but hard to master.
-
A thoughtful and charming title that puts a unique spin on the board-game strategy. While it might take a while to rewire your brain to the game's way of thinking, Greed Corp offers an experience quite unlike anything else.
-
Greed Corp has been a welcoming surprise.
-
The compact, well working mechanism and focused gameplay of Greed Corp makes this a perfect offer for gamers who aren't looking for another turn-based strategy game using Advance Wars or Final Fantasy Tactics as blueprint. A large campaign and more than enough maps keep you occupied for a long time.
-
Supporting up to four players at once, the game lends itself brilliantly to playing with your mates (locally or online), but is equally good fun against the computer in the hugely challenging campaign mode.
-
PSM3 Magazine UKOne of the more intriguing strategy titles available on PSN. [May 2010, p.96]
-
The game is incredibly fun, and matches will be different with each replay, even if you are playing against the computer.
-
For about ten bucks, which is likely six to seven times less than a boxed Greed Corp board game would cost at retail, the game gives players a lot of value.
-
Play UKA solid strategy game, both online and off. [Issue#191, p.93]
-
Greed Corp is the PSN-version of the strategy board game that never was. Although its game mechanics is both simple enough to learn fast and complex enough to make even the AI tough opponents – it doesn’t offer enough variety to make it “that great strategy game” I just have to keep on playing.
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKAn innovative strategy game. [May 2010, p.109]
-
'Greed Corp.' is a very polished, affordable strategy title sporting a clever environment gameplay aspect. Still, its unforgiving difficulty creates a learning curve that will scare even the hardiest away.
-
Overall, Greed Corp offers an intriguing new twist to strategy gaming, putting you under just a little more pressure when considering your moves – it won't hold your attention for long but while it does, it will keep you quite entertained.
