The game is an RPG at its core, but its battle system is unique: there are no menus, and every action is mapped directly to a button . The entire adventure is filled with characters, enemies, and places all named after food, creating a lighthearted, whimsical tone . Upon defeating the final boss, the player can choose from multiple endings, including the option to marry one of several different characters .

Great Greed was released in Japan on September 17, 1992, and in North America in April 1993 . The game was praised for its quirky charm and ahead-of-its-time features, such as an auto-save function . The one-on-one battles are fast-paced, but the decision to eliminate a traditional menu system can sometimes be confusing . The game is also notable for the progressive option at its ending, which allows the protagonist to marry a character of either sex, a feature rarely seen at the time . Despite its cult appeal, Great Greed was not a massive commercial success, making it a more obscure and collectible title in the Game Boy library .
