This game is dead, please do not buy it. But it used to be an interesting objective-based team shooter with over-the-top characters that felt like a faster TF2

I miss this game. One of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I had, and way ahead of its time. If it was released today, with more modern graphics, it would likely have been a massive success (same goes for SMNC, if it had a different business model). It was simply ahead of its time, coming out 4 years before Smite and being one of the most high skill third person MOBA-esque games to date. I played Deadlock …

One of the most tragic game deaths of all time. An amazing game that was mishandled and misunderstood. The gameplay still holds up strong to this day, it simply suffers from is a lack of players.

This game was pretty much my TF2. I sank so many hours into this game every day when I'd get home from High School and hop on my 360. I still think about how much I love this game ten years later. This game captures the strategy of Tower Defense style games with the unique combination of a class based shooter with the intensity of a great MOBA all combined into an extremely well put together game that's fun for a …

This is a dead game that didn't deserve to die. Loved the commentary, maps, and classes.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really miss this game. They should remaster/relaunch it, cause multiplayer is dead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MNC crawled, SMNC walked, so Deadlock can run.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"An overwatch looking moba shooter" No, it plays like Battleborn and Monday Night Combat, a third person shooter with moba elements. It's not overwatch, it's not Dota.
neutral · AI labelView post →seems like a good game but its literally dead by now
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Valve's Deadlock, but a dozen years earlier. Ahead of it's time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This needs to be free to play,i believe that could bring it back to life-IDK if the dev even exists anymore,but imo this was way better than its followup. I played this a ton back when it still had a player base,and own it on xbox as well. With the right players on a team it was good for hours of gameplay,even if your team started losing and your teammates bailed, thenext game came up pretty quickly. A forgotten gem of a game...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Finals ripping this off in many ways. Great game when released. Turned to garbage when purchased by Asian developers ruining the entire premise of the game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The year is 2026. Monday Night Combat still runs. There is still a single dedicated server running should anyone want to play again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I miss this game so much! Used to play this all the time 10 years ago and now its DEAD! :'( So many great memories. I guess you just had to be there.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They just don't make them like this anymore, or ever!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer is dead, Unfortunately you can't create a server to play with friends and the servers that are up don't work. Settings just decide to reset themselves constantly so mouse sensitivity is trash as it can't be corrected. I wouldn't bother wasting your time with this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best dead game !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun, but unfortunately "living dead" game. This is a great early Hero Shooter with some Tower Defense elements, that I feel may have been kneecapped by it's quickly-released, much worse sequel 'Super Monday Night Combat'(which also completely changed the gameplay to that of a MOBA). It's a true shame because 'Monday Night Combat' has decent visuals, a great sense of humor, and some genuinely fun game modes. But, as I mentioned, it's essentially been a "living dead" game since it's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would love if someone brought this game back to life with some sort of mod or something :/ but sadly I think this one is lost in time. Such a shame, this game was a banger. SMNC killed it all together. Glad i got to play waaaaaaaay back in the day on 360. I wish others could see how good this game was and still is. No lie, I would kill to go back just for one night to play this during the peak years. I miss you old friend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of fun with this about 10 years ago.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →rest in peace, unfairly forgotten and eclipsed by a worse game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best multi-player third person shooters I've ever played. Great style and energy, the games were always fun and fast paced with great variety of play-style. The game is long-dead, but I'd be down if there's a server/Discord out there somewhere still running games just for fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gone but not forgotten.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, reinstalled it for some offline bot-action. It was however dissapointing since the main gamemode doesn't support bot play. The only thing to play is a tower-defense wave mode. If you're going to reinstall for the nostalgia, i will suggest finding something else in your library. Love the game though, wish it was still alive :-)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still can't find unique game like this :( Sadly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Haven't played this game in over 15 years since I first got this. Shame to say that it's a dead game now. Should of made it free to the public to enjoy. Regardless I can't give it a positive review in it's state now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I miss coming back from school and playing this on Monday Nights.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Legendary game that was so ahead of its time it wasn't even funny. Sadly its successor, Super MNC/SMNC, has been gone from Steam since 2018. Unlikely to get any games on this outside of organized get-togethers. Still, was such an addicting game to play back in its heyday, and they gave it so many free updates before moving on to make SMNC. Real shame that we're unlikely to ever see another go with the Monday Night Combat IP, because it was such a fun time and the atmosphere got you hyped…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →regardless of the game being dead, it's still nostalgic to come back and visit :⁾
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this on xbox 360 so much when it first game out and will always be an important part of my childhood. If anyone who sees this would like to set up some matches I'd be down!! Just friend me and message me and maybe we can set up a discord? Lmk!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't tell anyone but I sometimes play this game on a Tuesday night.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead multiplayer game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m stoked about Deadlock. I used to play Super Monday Night Combat constantly, until it shut down. I’ve been waiting like 10 years to get a decent game that fills that void, and Deadlock seems to finally be it! I personally couldn’t be happier with their choice hah.
positive · AI labelView post →As everyone knows it's dead. But you can have some fun playing it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably one of my Favourite Games. I played this all the time with my dad (it was the only game we didn't agure on), Every Monday we'd play until the servers went. Thanks for the experiences, I just wish I could relive them once in a while

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good, polished, but DEAD multiplayer tower defense game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah, Monday Night Combat. a game from the heydays of when TF2 wasn't even F2P. If you ever see this game on sale, and try seeing if you can get some people to grab it. You've got a Coop shooter mode vs waves of Minion- Er... Bots, which you can also play solo, albeit slightly harder, and then you've got the meat and potatoes, the VS mode. The name of the game is to be as sporty as possible. Taunt after kills, Taunt after takedowns, Taunt after counters, Taunt after Taunts. Oh, and go smash a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original Overwatch, Deadlock, Paladins etc. was ahead of time. It was fun but not complete. Wish they didnt abandon it. If It was released in the Overwatch era with some updates and balance fixes here and there couldve been much more popular. But atleast they got a Team Fortress 2 collab which was also fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was great when it was new - unfortunately, it s completely dead now.
