Monday Night Combat casts players as competitors in a futuristic televised sport. In its team-based third-person shooter mode, choose a class and work to destroy the opposing team's Moneyball while protecting your own.
Teams are supported by robot units, making it important to push your bots toward enemy defenses as well as fight opposing players. Earn cash during matches to build and upgrade defenses, improve your character's skills, and support your team's attack.
In co-op Blitz, defend a Moneyball alone or with up to four players against robot waves. Spend money earned from bots on turrets, class upgrades, and environmental hazards. Persistent earnings unlock custom classes and ProTags, and contribute to player levels and leaderboard rankings.
The supplied reviews often remember the game as fun and memorable, especially past multiplayer sessions and playing its different classes. One detailed review praises its mix of third-person shooting, robot objectives, and tower defense for adding strategy to matches. Several reviewers also say the playerbase is now very sparse or limited to dedicated groups, and one reports getting stuck at the launch screen.
Monday Night Combat is a class-based, third-person shooter… and the most popular lethal sport of the future! It blends intense combat, finishing moves, and gameshow-like challenges and rewards to produce an action experience unlike any other. Why fight for “honor” or “duty” when you can fight for the real American dream: cash, fame and endorsements?
It’s the Throwback Throwdown in Monday Night Combat! Uncle Tully’s Funland is now available in Crossfire with new game play features! First up we have Chickey Cantor. He will now spawn in Uncle Tully’s Funland. Make Chickey fly away by shooting him and earn a big single-life buff for your entire team! Wait for Chickey to slam the ground and then you can grapple him. Ride him for eight seconds and earn big money! Just be careful, riders tend to be easy targets for enemy Pros. Secondly we’re introducing new bot spawners. These spawners have buttons for specifically spawning Jackbots, Black Jacks, Slims, Scramblers, Gremlins, Gapshots and Bouncers.
Co-op

The Challenges vary from a ten round Exhibition Blitz to endless robot waves of ever increasing difficulty in Super Sudden Death Blitz. Money earned from each Challenge goes into a persistent Lifetime Earnings that allows players to unlock over 370 ProTags, create custom classes, and get ranked on Leaderboards.
