Firstly, please note that my "hrs on record" is wrong because I play with Steam in Offline mode. I have finished the game and played all three characters up to the point where all their skills are unlocked. I really enjoyed this game, so I wanted to offer an alternative view to all the negative reviews here! Firstly I think this game is pretty clearly inspired by Space Siege. This is perhaps a rather questionable …

I don't know what all the thumbs down are for on this game. Graphics are decent, gameplay is simple yet fun, it's relatively hard, and the sci-fi atmosphere is well done. If you're a fan of Diablo style RPGs and/or sci-fi themed games, ignore the haters and give it a try. It's worth spending only $5. P.S. To the haters: it's not really fair to compare this game to Diablo and say it doens't match up. Of course it …

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 …

Awful. Simply awful. What originally started as a sort of simple dungeon crawler with a little charm to it, quickly became a nightmare with each moment grinding against what little patience I had left. The first chapter is fine, nothing special, completely tolerable. Once the second chapter, OF THE THREE CHAPTERS IN THE GAME, began, a lot of glaring issues began to emerge. First of all, controlling your character is …

First i liked the game. I really did. Nice atmosphere, nice voice acting. Interesting skill system (switching active and passive skills on the fly.) BUT! My save file got corrupted! Every time the game saves it crashes. I can restart the game and load the game at the saved point anyways, but u can't do that before a bossfight!

39% of the 177 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Greed: Black Border. The complaint that keeps coming up: controls are unresponsive and frustrating. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

Not as many classes or skills or equipment options. I haven't even run into any side quests yet. So, in essence, this is a poor man's sci-fi version of Diablo. However.... this is a poor man's SCI-FI version of Diablo. Fighting robots and mutants and aliens on spaceships and distant worlds is a very cool idea for this genre. The graphics…

Only 3 pieces of equipment: helmet, weapon, and armor. Most of the variations is in the "enhancement modules" which adds one or more attributes to one piece of equipment, and you only have one piece active at a time. There's a…

This is some kind of sci-fi action/RPG game with a slight Diablo feel to it. But it just falls flat. It works, it just isn't interesting. Have never tried it in multiplayer since I never saw anyone else playing. I am not recommending it, but if you can get it super cheap I would encourage you to try and decide for yourself. Did nothing for me. Not even…

Firing these weapons at the zombies and robots as you uncouver new sectors of an awesome spaceship environment, is a blast for me. Plus there are checkpoints so I probably play this game 30-45min a day and it fails to cease to amaze me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent sci-fi dungeon crawler similar to Space Siege. Worth the $1 I spent on it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly solid aRPG in a setting that needs more of the genre. The story kept me engaged enough that I wanted more when it finished. If you like aRPGs and it's sitting in your backlog, give it a shot, you'll probably like it. Not super deep, but as frequent bundle fodder, a nice pickup.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wondered just how bad this could be, and then I found out that in an already overcrowded genre (top-down action RPGs), this is easily bottom ten, because basic features like "shooting the thing right next to you" don't even work consistently. Or "oops, your dodge move will only function randomly". In fact, I don't know that a single thing worked properly 100% of the time. Sometimes I had to hit the button two or three times to advance dialogue too. It's sort of Bad Ratsian that way. It's a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember downloading this game from a certain bay of the pirate variety and never playing it. When I saw it on Steam I remembered and felt bad so I bought it. I expected Diablo in space and it is kind of that. The abilities, controls and item stats are terrible. I regret not only downloading the game initially but also paying for and playing it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Undeniably beautiful graphics used to render a bunch of corridors with boxes and explosive barrels in them. Slow pacing, terribly boring enemies (...zombies! ...in space! ... that walk slowly towards you while you pump literally thousands of bullets into them). Not bad for $0.99 but even at that price i'm quitting after an hour.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Entertaining. The game is basically a top-down shooter. It's similar to Shadowgrounds. If you liked that you might like this. Decent graphics. The story is simple and not too interesting but is OK I guess. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on Win 7. I would say that is not deserving of such hate. It does have some flaws. The controls might be the weakest point, yet you get used to them rather fast. It lacks some variety regarding armor and weapons but you have several choices to upgrade them and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend Greed: Black Border (GBB) but it's a borderline decision. I recommend it if you feel for a 10h quick action zombie smashing fix! It felt short and I usually spend ages in games like these selling every piece of unwanted loot and backtracking and checking out every corner of every map. So with all of that, I finished GBB in roughly 15h and you might say: "It's not that bad..." But compare that with many other games where I easily have 80+ hours if not outright in the few hundreds…

neutral · AI labelView post →That one popular review pretty much sums it up nicely. It's a fairly monotonous ARPG with no real stand-out features or aspects, but does manage to be fairly competent overall. Early on, its quirky implementation of shift-to-fire caused some frustration, particularly because I played the most ranged class. When holding Shift, as usual for this genre, your character won't move. In this game though, they will also not lock to an enemy when an enemy is clicked on. They will only lock to that…

You can collect gear to improve you character and gain levels that unlock new abilities. If you enjoy games like Titan Quest then you should enjoy this one. Its a tad bit slower then TQ but its great fun and the setting is cool, you fight some zombie people and aliens and stuff.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw this on sale for $1.24 and thought I could play it for a hour or two then have a few laughs at how bad it was. Only fifteen minutes into it and a few utterings to myself of "unbelievable how bad this is", not long after that a guy from Guiness Book of World Records was knocking on my door to tell me I just set a new world record for fastest clicking of the uninstall button. I am truly honored.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A waste of time in both gameplay and activity (nobody plays games claiming to be productive). The controls are bad: attacking in one direction requires holding down the Shift key and holding down the left mouse key. Do this with any delay on the first step and you're running toward the enemy as the latter key is also for movement. On that note, enemies - undead, robots, repurposed crabs (this is as far I got), no real variety. The grunting noises of the zombies (the most original concept in…

But I couldn't get past the first level becuase of the "death disco" room with spinning lights in every direction that auto-kill you if so much as your pinkie toe hits them for more than a second. I literally tried everything, but short of an invulnerability cheat this area was impassible for me. I'm sure theres a pattern or something to it, and if I tried it enough times I could probably beat it, but no... just no. This…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty much the same as everyone else is saying. Started out ok, then devolved from there. Bad dungeon crawl when everything you pick up is the same. Bad controls, repetitive, all around boring and quit when I was tired of dying over and over. Play Diablo or Torchlight or anything else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very basic Sci Fi take on Diablo (or perhaps Inquisitor-Martyr) set on a space craft and an alien planet. There are some light puzzle elements. You have to exactly align the lift mechanism in Chapter 1 which is tricky, but other than that, there's nothing too difficult. Whilst the game is basic, it gets those basics right, albeit with no additional frills. It ran smoothly for me with no game-breaking bugs or tortuous third party account requirements that plague some other games. It…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greed: Black Border (GBB) is a mix of Diablo style click to move player character, Kingdoms of Amalur dungeon traps, and top-down shooter combat. The mix is both interesting and frustrating. GRAPHICS The game is not processor heavy. Only 12-15% is required from an Intel i7-4770k CPU and 31-41% from an NVidia 770 running at 536 MHz. Backgrounds aren't as pretty, and aside from the frequent explosive canisters from earlier levels, there aren't much to interact from the environment, nor it is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly dull action RPG where you shoot endless amounts of little robots and kite zombies (in space!). And also the big variants of those. The action is just you standing in place, shooting things, running away for a bit to get some distance, shooting more, running away a bit more, etc. Enemies trigger when you open a room or get close enough. Some enemies are sleeping and only wake up when you just about step on them. They don't take damage until they wake up. There is some worldbuilding,…

There's lightweight RPG elements as you can improve your character with equipment and levelling up, making this a kind of weak sci-fi Diablo ripoff. First up the graphics are great. There's 4K support but the text is unreadable because they didn't know about UI scaling and didn't bother testing this on modern PCs, which is a let down. The real problem is the gameplay itself.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay seems OK but it is difficult to play after having gotten used to more modern games of this type. The lack of simple things like pathing make it frusterating. When you click to walk somewhere, the character walks straight toward your cursor regardless of obstacles. Enemies do the same thing as well and often get stuck around corners because the path straight to you is blocked. I suppose this could be used to advantage.

Pro - animations look good - big maps Con - you get better stuff just can't really feel it - even the weakest enemies take long time to kill - a little too long that makes it boring 5/10 rating. I like the grinding but it's a little too much for me, if you just wake up on a weekend and you are fresh with energy you can play this game, just stop after a couple of hours because it could tire you out with boredom :D . Wasted potential.
