Greedy Guns

Let’s say that you’re a mercenary who’s a bit down on your luck and you need a fat paycheck to balance things out. What do you do? Well, you go explore an alien planet, shoot every form of hostile life and recover artifacts and DNA for scientific reasons. That’s the premise under which the action in Greedy Guns takes place.

Greedy Guns is a classic platformer in the sense that you’ll have to explore a vast world by jumping from platform to platform, there are enemies to shoot with your gun, traps to avoid and at time, some small puzzles to solve. It follows a template that works every time but it also adds its own specific and unique flavour.

Greedy Guns is built with controller support and even offers a co-op multiplayer mode in which two people can take on the hostile alien world that lies before them. Visually, Greedy Guns is right on the money with a design that’s just right for gamers of all ages.

Old-school platformers were in most part though and set the boys from… the boys with skill and Greedy Guns tries to emulate that aspect. It’s not what you necessarily call a challenging game but it does have its moments.

Most of the time Greedy Guns will serve as a really good way to unwind for a couple of hours while shooting some interestingly thought out aliens in a colorful and vivid world. It actually looks so nice that it makes you think about the bad guys really are in this game.

On a closing note, Greedy Guns is definitely a good game for platformer fans who are looking for a title to chill with. It’s sufficiently relaxing to make the entire experience pleasant and it also shows its fangs when things get a bit linear.
