HOLO CORP – a ubiquitous corporate behemoth that (obviously) values profit over ethics. That's why they aren't shy about sending mercenaries to explore and preemptively attack alien worlds in order to obtain precious artifacts and DNA samples for their research. The Greedy Guns team is happy to work for HOLO CORP – as long as they pay well. And do they ever! Too bad HOLO CORP also sells them their guns.

What's not to like in Greedy Guns? It 's got tight controls, fluid combat, overall fast-paced gameplay, nice cartoony artwork, a metroidvania structure, low system requirements... It looks like plenty of fun. And yet, I don't recommend it, for a few critical reasons. [h1]Pros[/h1] + The game looks nice. + Controls feel natural and works seamlessly. + The combat is fun and the enemy variety is engaging. + There are lots of invisible check-points, so that you don't frustratingly repeat some annoying sequence from start. + Double jump from the start, giving you a nice feeling of moving fast and freely. [h1]Cons[/h1] - The story is boring and the characters despicable. - The exploration element is boring and there is not much to find anyway. - Despite the Metroivania structure, it feels pretty linear. - The map is not clear at all (better to put no map than a poor one). - Sometimes the combat gets boring so you end up just jumping past the enemies. - Insta-kill razor wheels and pike pits in boss fights. [h1]Verdict[/h1] Greedy Guns could not have been great -it lacks a rich atmosphere, a griping story, and overall some kind of creative inspiration.

this is not a metroidvania, i repeat this is not a metroidvania. Metroid Other M was less linear, hell Final Fantasy 10 is less Linear3 found this helpful
The game feels more tedious than fun. Lots of running around and fighting the same bad guys over, and over, and over again. There's a lot of different weapons to find, but you end up only really using a couple in the end anyway due to practicality. There's also just no substance to the story; the main characters have no redeeming qualities. Greedy Guns is more akin to Metal Slug than Gunstar Heroes. If you want a mindless game where you shoot lots of stuff then perhaps this is for you. It just came in a little too underwhelming for me. 5/103 found this helpful
Short Sidescrolling shooter with good tempo and challeging bullet paterns. Great and energetic tunes. Some enemy designs tend to be to simplistic and uninteristing and the "metroidvania" tag seems to be overblown.
Nice game to play in Co-op mode. I played through the whole game with my wife using controllers. If you like platform/shooter game. This game is for you, my wife said this game reminded her to the old school Contra but more fun and nice mechanics
GABE WOULDNT APPROVE HIGHLY
