Need MORE info?! Fine. Go past the break to see the launch trailer and to read more on the new additions.

Key Features
Co-op
Blitz mode allows players to defend their Money Balls against armies of robots by themselves or four player co-op over Steam. During various Blitz challenges, players can spend money, earned by destroying bots, to build defensive turrets around the Moneyball, upgrade one of six unique character classes, or set off robot-crushing environment hazards. 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.
Competitive Multiplayer
Crossfire mode pits teams of players against each other over Steam. Each team is supported by an endless stream of robots fighting on their behalf; overwhelming your opponent’s stream, upgrading your Pros, and base defenses will be the key to your success!
Customizable Characters
Each Pro caters to its unique style of play and comes with its own set of upgradeable skills. Customize those skills and abilities even further with a variety of unlockable products in the Custom Class feature.
Persistent Stats
Every game of Monday Night Combat earns the player money that goes toward his or her Lifetime Earnings. Lifetime Earnings can be spent on unlocking custom classes and buying earned ProTags. How much Lifetime Earnings you have also determines what level you are. Monday Night Combat keeps a large set of persistent statistics for all aspects of gameplay. Furthermore, Monday Night Combat features over 370 ‘ProTags’ that are customizable, and you can show them off to other players and friends.
Dedicated Servers
It hosts multiple instances of MNC dedicated servers. Full stand alone client is coming soon!
