Demigod Stardock Entertainment (Gas Powered Games)2009Although lauded as tactical strategy game, this has less of that than games like Team Fortress 2.***A GOD HAS FALLEN

The all father has vanished, creating an opening in the pantheon. To fill the void, Demigods from across from the mortal world must wage war against one another in a bid to ascend to true godhood.

Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements. Choose from several Demigods, each poised for battle with their own unique capabilities and awe-inspiring powers. Vanquish other would-be gods as you gain levels, increase in power, unlock the power of mystic artifacts and slowly battle your way closer to joining the Pantheon.

Standing in your path are cunning and ferocious opponents that are controlled by either a sophisticated AI system, or by other players via the Internet. Both single- and multiplayer offer a persistent universe where your Demigod uses the spoils of victory to draw closer to ascension, thwart an enemy's attempt at ascension or even acquire powerful items that can be unleashed in the next battle.

The combination of awesome gameplay, incredible graphics and pulse-pounding action means that Demigod is infinitely replayable. You'll keep coming back again and again as you valiantly try to reach the Pantheon and bask in the glory of your final ascension.

Monday Night Combat  Uber Entertainment2011La verdad que es un juego muy entretenido, de estilo MOBA pero con un manejo FPS y un humor tan gamberro con sarcástico-distópico.
Una pena que esté abandonado, algo muy feo por parte de los creadores no evolucionarlo a un F2P (como hizo el TF2) en vez de crear el Super Monday Night Combat (muy similar a excepción del amplio elenco de personajes)

5 de 10***Differences from usual MOBA involve:
* No items of any sort.
* No jungle.
* 3rd person instead of top-down.***Beta trailer:
[media=youtube]-ctC1H5AlcQ[/media]***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?

Key Features:
The Blitz mode pits one player or up to four players online against streams of AI controlled robots. In Crossfire mode, players play competitively, six verse six, to destroy the opponent's Money Ball while protecting theirs aided by armies of robots. Monday Night Combat also boasts an extensive meta game that allows players to gain new endorsements and hundreds of new ProTags to show off their accomplishments.

Super MNC  Uber Entertainment2012What is Super Monday Night Combat?

Super Monday Night Combat is a free to play, strategic, multiplayer shooter... and the most popular lethal sport of the future! It blends intense tactical combat, a deep metagame, an ever-expanding roster of Pros, and an ever-growing amount of customizations. Why fight in bombed out cities or desert wastelands when you can have every kill streak judged by hilarious sportscasters and cheering, or jeering, fans?

Awesomenauts dtp entertainment (Ronimo Games)2012Un MOBA directo y rápido, donde su acción 2D lo hace mucho más sencillo y entretenido.

Los personajes y escenarios son geniales.

Lo más destacable es el sistema de dinero del juego, que se debe recoger y no se adquiere automáticamente del enemigo, haciendo que robarle al rival los beneficios de la muerte de un compañero sea posible.

Recomendable, trae viento fresco al ya abusado sistema que comenzara el DoTA.

Dota 2  Valve2013Dota 2 Reborn is a major named update which includes new game engine (Source 2), new interface, and support for much broader variety of custom games. Source 2 by itself brings large number of updates like Vulkan support.***Ni tan simple como el LOL ni tan complejo como el HON, esta resurrección del MOBA original se presenta como un juego muy recomendable, especialmente por ser completamente F2P (sólo los estéticos son de pago)

Eso sí, el tutorial es lento y pesado y además debiera ser ignorable, hacerlo obligatorio es un gran fallo para cualquiera que no sea un novato en este tipo de juegos.

Deadbreed Deadbreed AB2014Un MOBA con 2 grandes razones por las que resulta ser una confusion constante: muchos elementos a tener en cuenta (algo de por sí bastante interesante, ya que le da una dimensión muy estratégica) y un diseño y minimapa que aportan muy poca información al jugador (cuesta saber donde te está atacando el enemigo, a veces la cámara hace zooms o giros extraños)

Sabe a mecla entre el HoN (por su enfoque en la sinergia) y un Diablo (forma de juego, mazmorras en vez de junglas y bosses finales de partida), pero de momento es más bien muchas buenas ideas no del todo bien mezcladas.

4 de 10***Deadbreed® is a creepy-themed multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game with RPG features. The game will appeal to gamers that want a deep, hardcore gaming experience and greater influence on how their character looks but more importantly plays. The hero customization factor is a major strategic and tactical game play element as you’ll figure out what equipment and play style/s work best for each of your heroes – should you play her/him as a melee warrior, ranged archer or perhaps a wizard, or are you skillful enough to adapt your hero build during the matches to counter what the enemy team is building?
