Monday Night Combat Review

Monday Night Combat was great back in the day. But it's dead and dated.

+ Different classes with very varied game-styles and skillset
+ Humorous, colorful presentation
* Mode 1: Wave- and lane-based minion-spawning PvP
* Mode 2: Defend against incoming waves
* Loadouts and in-game skill-upgrades
* Building and upgrading defense structures at predefined locations
* Interactive map elements (jump pads etc)
* Kills drop currency to invest
- Singleplayer is only a defense mode against enemy waves (no bot matches of the good main mode)
- Multiplayer has no bot-player support
- No servers at all (you would need other people to play it together)
- Starting with/Jumping into the game is confusing; no clear class skill or gameplay introduction, interaction/menuing is not obvious
- Menus and settings are dated (my 1440p resolution not listed, defaults to not optimal graphics)
- I created a server and played, and suddenly got put back into the main menu

I had very fond memories and wanted to play it. Obviously it looks and feels dated. Unfortunately, without bots, you can't even play it.
