I purchased the game during a Steam sale and was happy I did. With its campaign mode for single player and its skirmish modes for multiplayer, the game continues to have high replayability, even if at times it feels like you’re doing the same thing every match. Normally you’d have to buy two games and own two separate computers to play games with people in your household, which can get expensive. I appreciate the game’s ability to play locally. If there’s one thing that you should take away from this game, it’s the importance of location, location, location! There are some maps that really punish players for making mistakes, but it’s all part of the learning experience. You’ll often be on equal footing for a while until the tiles begin falling away, in which case, one of you will make a mistake that will set you behind far enough to lose. The key to winning a match is simply to outmaneuver the other guy. Harvesters can be used as an offensive tool, if placed in the right spots, as they can destroy land and cut off the enemy from expanding.Ĭannons allow you to snipe enemies from afar, while destroying their land in the process. All of these things require money, and you’re limited on how much money you have since the primary method of acquiring it is by destroying precious land. You can build armories that allow you to build more troops, cannons that allow you to purchase (and fire) ammunition, and transporters that allow you to ferry troops across a great distance. Helping you to be the last corporation standing are a few buildings that you can purchase to bring the hurt to everyone else. This game requires the user to think ahead, reminding me a little of Chess and Khet in that regard. I had to determine where I was going to go after said land was unusable and ensure that I could continue harvesting somewhere else to keep bringing in the dough. In effect, it became a turn based puzzle game, at least for me. I didn’t think I’d like that mechanic, but it turns out that it forced me to think about what land I wanted to give up so that I could fund my war effort. Destroying land is necessary to get ahead in Greed Corp.
