    The best-yet marriage of third-person gunning and MOBA spellcasting.

    In a nutshell, Uber Entertainment clearly figured out what their first game needed and they brought it. The shortcomings from the first game have been dealt with, and even now they're still piling on constant updates with a Valve-like intensity. With a very dedicated and growing community of players, Super Monday Night Combat has blossomed into a legitimate heavyweight among its peers.

    The game is really fun with some buddies that want to play the game strategically against another team with the same skill level. If you're into third person shooters or MOBA style games with a twist, you should really check this game out. You have nothing to lose. It's free, and fun.

    Super Monday Night Combat feels like a toned down Monday Night Combat. It's free but in-game items are really expensive and gameplay is monotous and boring. Simply put: don't waste your time here.

  1. One of my favorite games now. It's brand new and does need some development time but that is the nature of a new MOBA.

    That actual game play
    is incredibly fun but the learning curve is steep. I highly recommend trying out SMNC for yourself. It is free to play after all. Expand

    First off, do not get this game if you expect MNC 2. SMNC has little to do with the original game in how it runs as there is significantly more focus on the MOBA/DOTA element. Basic gameplay for all the maps available if that you push your lanes (either left or right) that have bots spawning on them. These bots are used to strip the shield off turrets (allowing you to damage them), and for knocking down the moneyball (so you can damage it). These bots spawn at fixed intervals or you can pay to spawn in some right away. The game also tweaks the annihilator, a button in the middle of the map that can be activated every 5 minutes to destroy all of the enemy bots on the map (obviously giving your team significantly greater pushing power).

    There are no tutorials yet, though they are in the making. And at the moment the game's matchmaking system is a little rough at times. Overall though the game is not overly difficult to get into, as there are plenty of the veteran beta players who are willing to help if a newbie actually attempts to learn.

    The game is free to play, and it does not allow you to buy power. With the in game currency you can buy pro's (player characters), endorsements (passive stat changes), and products (passive abilities). You get roughly 100 CC (combat credits) for a win, and the most expensive champs are 9000 though most are cheaper. You can also pay actual money for pro's, outfits, taunts, or weapon skins. Pro's are priced based on their difficulty, allowing new players to pick up the easier to understand characters faster while reserving the more complex champs for later down the line.

    And intersting take on the Free to Play formula is that every game you play you have a chance to win anything that can be bought (aside from the Pro's). You will get one prize generally every three games or so, though you do not get a prize if you leave a match. Giving players incentives for sticking through matches, and giving new players a chance to get some high tier endorsements before they can afford them.

  3. I enjoy SMNC as much as I did MNC and even better this is free.

    That said my current rating for the game as it stands is:
    Gameplay 8/10
    F
    unctionality 4/10

    My Score as the game stands: 6

    There is just a lot of bugs to do with logging in, chat, finding a game, creating a team & getting the team in a game which is why I gave a seperate functionality score. if they can fix all that then 8/10 is what it deserves but right now players waste too much time trying to get into matches which means time spent stuffing about is higher than time spent enjoying matches.

    This game is the equivalent of castrating yourself fifty times. The game is buggy, the matchmaking doesn't work, and the community it has is nonexistent. There's a huge disparity of skill caused by the lack of players and the amount of experience the experienced players have. Why is this a problem? No matchmaking. It's Uber Entertainment's self-fulfilling legacy of making all of their games flop. Please try it for a month. You may be the type of person that enjoys broken games, but if you're like the many people that have left for better games, it will be the same as castrating yourself fifty times. Expand
