Greed: Black Border

Greed: Black Border is a mix of Diablo and Shadowgrounds. At the start of the game the player chooses one of three available characters to uncover the mysteries of the mining ship with. The pyro likes it up close and hot and uses uses only a flamethrower. The marine relies on his gatling gun to keep the enemies at bay but can also take a beating thanks to his heavy armor. The third character is the plasma-engineer. She uses a sniper-rifle and takes out the enemies from the distance. The player can not change the appearance or values of his character. Instead the individualisation happens through the investment of skill points. Each level up grants one skill point and two attribute points allowing the player to increase the shield energy or the health of his character. The skill point on the other hand is used to unlock or upgrade new talents through a three-part skill tree. Divided into active (e.g. throwing a grenade), offensive (e.g. automatic knock-back every few seconds) and defensive (e.g. automatic healing) skills, the player can only use one talent of each section at the same time.
