Greed: Black Border

There is no hack'n'slash. There is click'n'wait, then dodge, then "wtf why are you running towards them?". This game wants you to slowly crawl through the level, slowly taking everyone out one by one. I thought maybe I picked the wrong guy, but it seems they're all the same. Shame, it looked a little bit promising, but I guess all those space themed games of the era were doomed.

A fun meat-grinder, "turn-your-brain-off" kind of an ARPG, Greed: Black Border is good for burning time and chilling. The story is nonsense, the skill system is strange - you can only have one type of passive ability (defensive and offensive) active at a time - and they throw in some puzzles requiring actual thought. But if you can get past that, definitely recommend getting when on sale like I did. (Plus, for the graphics snobs out there, the game, despite releasing in 2009, has some truly ahead-of-its-time effects, such as particles being realistically-lit by dynamic lights, including gunfire, in addition to clever use of 2D textures for some [i]extremely[/i] smooth-looking graphics, especially with forced antialiasing.)

Алло из 2025! Где продолжение?

Never got really used to those controls. So already the first boss fight was impossible.

操作太蠢了

Неймовірна гра! Дуже гарна графіка. Сюжет не супер, але це шутер, тут сюжет не головне. Цікава прокачка. Пройшов з задоволенням!

It's classic example of cheap Double A games that you could buy for pennies in "bins" or "magazines". Especially for HnS boom. On the one hand it's cheap, simple and don't overstay it's welcome unlike other Diablo clones. On the other, items, biomes and enemies selection is underwhelming. But for biggest problem is that game is boring. About 8h of doing the same pew pew all the time with short break for the bosses. If it was short and intense i would recommend it, especially with other classes. But I don't recommend anyone to go thru that slog again.
