Our take on The Greater Good
Rather than filling exploration with random encounters, the game turns movement into part of the challenge: players jump and platform around enemies and areas. Its RPG structure also pairs newcomer-friendly battles with a separate skill layer aimed at adding strategy.
What is The Greater Good?
The Greater Good is a stylized, fast-paced RPG inspired by classic turn-based games.
It follows a group of unlikely heroes as they uncover the past of a world where machines are rising and magic has nearly disappeared. Exploration takes place across a handcrafted world map, with platforming used to cross areas and bypass enemies instead of triggering random encounters. Battles use an accessible system for newcomers alongside a skill system that adds strategic decisions for experienced RPG players. The game includes a cinematic story, 29 original soundtrack tracks, optional superbosses, secrets, and a New Game Plus mode. Its presentation combines stylized 3D visuals with a modern soundtrack.
