If there was ever a game that encapsulates the term wildcard, it has to be Monday Night Combat. On the surface MNC may just seem like another run-of-the mill online action game, but it could end up being a surprise XBLA hit due to its humor, style and gameplay.
Combining tongue-in-cheek humor, stylized art, and pure fun action combat, Monday Night Combat has all the makings of a quality XBLA game. The premise of the game is simple: it’s a televised battle for supremacy between human combatants and their team controlled A.I. robots.
This new trailer for the game showcasing the Assassin character type gives a glimpse at both the humor and action gamers can expect from MNC. Being an Assassin, and a lady, the character is of course lithe, extremely agile, and a literal backstabber. Essentially the character is everything an assassin should be.
Based on what I saw of Monday Night Combat during PAX East, the game was incredibly smooth to play and had a decent amount of depth thanks to the different character classes. So far the game has relatively been under the radar but with an August 11 release, perhaps Monday Night Combat will become a surprise hit due to the current void of good XBLA action games.
