In the old style of something called a Board Game, arises a digital board game Greed Corp. a strategy game taking place in a fantasy world above the clouds. But unlike the Monopoly board game, consisting of building and cooperating (there’s a little cooperation), Greed Corp. is about beautiful destruction. This is a highly polished first effort from W!Games.

Greed Corp. is played out on hexagonal boards with the twist being that each hexagon can be destroyed in order to harvest resources and build units turning the earth beneath your very feet into a landscape that is by the end, mere skeleton of what it was when you began.
Whole idea of choice and consquence makes for great fun and I never tire of watching those columns crumble away and disappear into the nothing below.

Your objective is always the same: be the last man standing. When the dust settles, the player that survived the longest is the winner. Enemy Factions are eliminated once all of their units and buildings are destroyed, but it is actually quite difficult to get a sense of who has the upper hand at any given time with destruction happening all around you at any given time. This is one of those games where the player with just one unit and one tile to their name might end up the victor in the end. The destructible nature of Greed Corp. makes it an unpredictable beast.

Although there are many levels to the game, you only have a few units to build such as Harvesters that will drain resources from the land at the beginning of each turn until its tile is destroyed, Armouries will produce Walkers, your one and only movable unit that can claim tiles for you. A Cannon can be built to blow up your enemies and destroy their tiles and finally, the Carrier will transport Walkers to any tile on the map.
Although your options are every, every limited, Greed Corp. offers plenty of interesting strategic possibilities.
Do you build a lot of Harvesters to earn massive loots? It’s tricky because each Harvester you build dooms all the tiles surrounding it. Another option is to go on the offense and build a couple Cannons so you can hopefully pound your enemies into dust.
Players will be able to develop their own tactics with Greed Corp. Up to four players can join a game but besides their visual traits there is no difference between the four factions. Any combination of players can get greedy both locally and online.

Even though Greed Corp. is designed as a multiplayer game, the lengthy single-player campaign is loads of fun and serves as a useful training ground where you can develop your skills. It does take a few matches to really get an understanding of how the game works. Spend a little time with it, though, and you’ll find Greed Corp. is successful at creating both an original world and great gameplay.
If you fancy yourself a fan of either turn-based strategy games or heady board games, you’ll definitely want to check out Greed Corp. The fact that you have to destroy the ground beneath your feet in order to harvest resources makes for some fascinating choices. It’s designed for multiplayer and has friendly on- and offline features, but the single-player campaign is also great fun. Watching Greed Corp.’s tiles crumble into dust has been one of my favorite gaming moments of the year so far.
