Monday Night Combat is a downloadable third-person shooter video game developed by Uber Entertainment. It was published by Microsoft Studios on the Xbox 360 and by Uber Entertainment and Valve Corporation for Microsoft Windows. It was released on August 11, 2010 on the Xbox 360 as part of Microsoft's 2010 Xbox Live Summer of Arcade and is distributed through Xbox Live Arcade. It was released on January 24, 2011 for Windows via Steam.

Monday Night Combat is a class-based third-person shooter game in which two teams are pitted against each other in a fictional combat setting similar to that of a tower defense title. The competitors on each team are clones, and the goal is to destroy the other team's Moneyball, a stationary objective which houses the team's money, while protecting their own. It is presented to the player as the Monday Night Football sport of the future.

The game was well received by critics, averaging 79.24% at GameRankings and 79 out of 100 at Metacritic, two video game aggregate websites. Reviewers were generally universal in praising the quality of the game in comparison to the cost. The game's graphics and art style were also praised. Critics noted that the six character classes were well-suited to the tower defense style of gameplay. As of year-end 2011, Monday Night Combat has sold over 307,000 copies on Xbox Live Arcade.

Gameplay

Monday Night Combat is a shooter played from a third-person perspective. It combines a class-based character selection system with team-based objectives in the style of Defense of the Ancients. Its background is that of a futuristic replacement for Monday Night Football in which cloned soldiers battle against each other for money.

The game is played in one of two scenarios, each one a variant on the traditional action RTS setting with elements of tower defense mixed in. The first is Crossfire, in which teams of up to six compete online to destroy the other team's Moneyball, a stationary shielded object guarded by its respective team. The first team to destroy their opponent's Moneyball is declared the winner. The second gameplay scenario is known as Blitz. In Blitz up to four players work together to protect their team's Moneyball against increasingly difficult waves of robots. Blitz can be played alone, in two-player splitscreen or with up to four players online.

Players can choose between one of six classes, each with their own unique abilities and weapons. The Tank and Gunner classes focus on heavy weaponry. The Support class is similar to Team Fortress 2's engineer and medic, providing support for their team by healing teammates, and repairing robots and turrets. The Assault class plays similarly to the standard soldier class found in other games, and is patterned as a well-rounded class for players. Snipers can be used as long-range support, but can also use their secondary weaponry when in close proximity to enemies. Finally Assassins are focused on stealth and mobility and can use their abilities to sneak up on enemies, dispatch them, and then quickly escape.

As players destroy robots and make kills they are rewarded with cash, which can then in turn be used to buy upgrades, improve the defense of their base, or send specialty robots against the other team. Players can also earn cash by attacking the sport's mascot, Bullseye, which occasionally appears on the field. Another thing that players accumulate as they play is Juice. Filling the Juice gauge allows the player a brief period of super-powered abilities they can use to attack the other team. Additionally, bacon is infrequently dropped by the mascot or robots when attacked. Bacon serves as a powerup for the player, giving them boosted abilities until they die or the round ends. Churros were added to the first downloadable content pack, and give the player a temporary health boost, and regenerate the player's abilities.

Reception

Monday Night Combat was well received by critics, averaging 79.24% at GameRankings and 79 out of 100 at Metacritic, two video game aggregate websites. Both sites report a majority review scores of 70% and higher. As of October 2010, Monday Night Combat has sold over 225,000 copies on Xbox Live Arcade. That number rose to over 293,000 at the close of 2010. As of year-end 2011 sales increased to over 307,000 units. Most reviewers agreed that the game was well worth the price of 1200 Microsoft Points. GamePro called the game "equal parts wacky, polished, and just downright fun." Game Revolution agreed, calling Monday Night Combat "so much unadulterated fun." Official Xbox Magazine called it a "great third-person shooter with Monday-night-football flair." It received Gamasutra's award for Best Downloadable Console Game for 2010.

Game Revolution stated the gameplay was an improvement over Team Fortress 2. GamePro also stated the Team Fortress 2 veterans "should definitely enjoy the very obvious similarities." Official Xbox Magazine felt that the game's six character classes were well balanced and that each class provided utility to players. PALGN praised the cartoon art style and over the top commentary by the game's announcer. They went on to call the Monday Night Combat a "stylish, streamlined, expertly crafted third person shooter." IGN noted the game's fun multiplayer modes, stating that both cooperative and versus modes are "good fun if you get a crew together."

Official Xbox Magazine criticized the fact that the game only comes equipped with two modes and four arenas. GamePro agreed, stating with a low number of robot types and very few maps that "the action will eventually lose some luster over time." IGN reviewer Daemon Hatfield expressed surprise and confusion in regards to attacking Bullseye, the Monday Night Mascot, for cash, calling it "one of the most bizarre gaming events I've recently witnessed." Game Informer expressed similar thoughts, saying "this guy is so annoying that it's impossible not to smile while shooting him." Destructoid was critical of the character classes, calling them unbalanced. GameSpot was critical of the game's announcer, stating that they found the commentary annoying. They also went on to criticize the limited tutorial, stating it leaves the player "to read up in the How to Play section of the pause menu."

The Spunky Cola Special downloadable content was generally well received. Griffin McElroy of Joystiq praised the fact that the content was released free of charge. Destructoid's Jordan Devore agreed, and stated it was a "smart move for a game that shouldn't segregate its audience." The reviewer from XBLAfans praised the amount of content given in Spunky Cola Special. The reviewer called the new arenas "relentless" and "fast paced". Also praised were the addition of churros as a powerup, the additional voice lines for the game's announcer, and the 47 additional protags; markings to indicate a player's clan or affiliation.

Sequel

A sequel, Super Monday Night Combat, was developed by Uber and was released on 18 April 2012. It draws even more heavily from the DotA lineage of multiplayer online battle arena games, adopting elements such as a free to play model, character skins, and regularly released new Pros along with a rotating group of free Pros and new outdoor environments.
