Greedland: A Developer’s Tribute to Classic Arcade Chaos

Okay, let’s get into it. Not sure why I’m even writing this, but Greedland dropped on Xbox Series X|S with, get this, a 20% discount! Yeah, you read that right. This little passion project took me four years to finish. I mean, who keeps track of days, right? But somehow, I did—1,460 days. It’s wild. I’m VaMP He, by the way. Bet you’re wondering who I am.

Anyway—shoot, maybe I should backtrack. Greedland is this chaotic splatterfest for those who just wanna watch the screen explode with madness. So get it while it’s cheap!

Oh, right, check out this picture. Probably doesn’t do justice, but there it is.

Now, if you’re playing—well, let me share some survival hacks from the dev. That would be me, by the way.

1. Weapon Synergy: Think plasma and frost. Freeze ’em and watch them shatter. Now that’s satisfying. Weirdly satisfying.

2. Movement Tricks: Gotta love running. Seriously, in the early game, just keep running! Tap into movement upgrades before messing with those pesky mutants.

3. Co-Op Shenanigans: It ain’t just for kicks. Someone’s causing chaos while the other sneaks in some hits. Teamwork for the win!

Here’s another picture. You might start to get the vibe I’m going for here.

So, where did all this come from? Had a huge thing for internet cafes in the 90s. Yeah, you know the ones. I’d dump my pocket money into shooting games. Alien Shooter? My jam. Realized way later that the game I obsessed over was actually called Crimsonland. Who knew? Not me till years later. Anyway, made a career making mobile games but always felt like, I dunno, something was missing?

Now, crafting this game was a mess. Picture setbacks. Like, real gut-wrenching ones. It all started, uh, during some downtime in 2021. After some streamers jumped on the demo, things just… took off. Met some investor magic – then poof – it was gone. Suddenly very broke but hey, my wife was a rock. Code during diaper duty, anyone?

The demo went nuts. I can’t even explain it. Over 100,000 people just playing and playing. Like, who even plays demos that much? Now, here it is on Xbox—it still blows my mind.

Honestly, Greedland feels like proof the arcade spirit isn’t dead. It’s very much alive on your Xbox.

Oh, and look, another image. For the aesthetics or whatever.

You can snag it from E-Home Entertainment. Apparently, it’s blowing up with 5-star ratings—because, of course it is. You’ve got countless aliens to obliterate and crazy weapon combos to try out. There’s even this endless mode for the truly brave. Tactical madness in local co-op, too, if you’re into that.

So, yeah. Dive into Greedland. It’s a wild ride, and I promise, it won’t disappoint. Or maybe it will. Who knows? Anyway, go play!
