There's no game quite like it, before or after. It is a game of deception that doesn't require friends (but benefits from them anyway). It is a game of making skill look like random chance. It is a game of quick wit, teamwork, and the highest-stakes whiffs aplenty. It is a game of deep lore, memorable characters, and utter undying love from the devs and the players alike.
It is the simultaneous turn-based, team deathmatch battle arena that we all know and love, in equal measure for the deep skill expression and the solid nonsense. For anyone that might get to play this for the first time... "Prepare to be impressed".
Atlas Reactor was my most favourite Game ever. I even did a DIY Board Game Version out of Love for it.
I managed to play myself to the Top 10 Players and still think about this Game almost 10 years later.
Such a good Concept with nothing coming close to it.
I played Atlas Reactor habitually with some close friends from its early days in late 2016 (Blackburn had just come out) and stayed in touch with it, playing the odd match or two every week, until its shutdown in June 2018. All in all I spent around 700 hours playing it. I was there as the servers went down and said my goodbyes, but I've never left the game truly behind.
Atlas Reactor is -- or was -- so uniquely fun in its concept and gameplay. Sure, colourful online hero arenas are a dime a dozen, and Atlas Reactor was never mold-breaking in character designs or graphics, but the gameplay of turn-based gameplay where moves are inserted in advance and then acted out in distinct phases made it something that hasn't been replicated successfully since. It was like online Frozen Synapse -- or Diplomacy, for the board game fans -- making bluffing and predicting ability valuable assets, as well as being to coordinate your team's moves two or three turns in advance, to have a gameplan and see it fall apart upon contact with the enemy. I've played with strategic geniuses, I've had my games ruined in the best possible ways by utter lunatics, and I've had multiple cherished memories of good plays that do not require my old and decrepit body to maintain an acceptable APM. There has been nothing truly like it since.
I have no idea if bringing this game back is even possible, but on the off chance it is... I would very much like to see it tried.
No game have gotten anywhere close to be as satisfying with landing your shots, as this have.
A feature of this game was that you could give your skills some extra flare by making it start out with quick cutscene of your freelancer (hero) doing a cool little trick/pose while saying a line, making you look extra awesome 'IF' you predicted where the enemy went. Otherwise you'd look like an idiot.
This feature didnt do much else but to give your game a little bit of flavor and/or personality, but it was such a fun thing that you could do, and i've been missing this kind of feature for any other game ever since it went offline.
It was one of the most daring ideas that actually worked! Turn based MOBA, with simultaneous turs. Heroes had their special abilities, like in other hero based pvp games. There were 3 types - before taking turn, action, and at the end of the turn.
Unfotunately, when Trion was bought, the game was shut. It wasn't popular, mostly because poor marketing... I would give so much to play it again... I even got scammed by GAMIGO with Atlas Rogues... They took the money from players and didn't deliver, closing the project... And now the game is in limbo, cause of being in hands of scammers... :(
Perfect balance between fast paced decision making and not requiring incredible twitch reflexes and fine motor control. It was a game I could always play and never tire of. Matches didn't take forever like many online games so just playing a match or two wasn't a commitment. The only downside was it never got popular enough to have the player base it needed to sustain itself (and make queue times shorter). Would love this to make a comeback and catch on for real. Seriously a gem of a game and a terrible shame it never found its audience.

Starship Troopers: Terran AscendancyStarship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy is a real time strategy game with a common misunderstanding. This game is not based on the movie Starship Troopers. Both, the game and the movie, are based upon the novel by Robert A. Heinlein.
This is one of the few strategy games where you cannot build a base and recruit units. Instead you lead up to three squads into combat. Each squad contains a leader, five soldiers and one specialist (medic, engineer, PSI for detecting hidden bugs, MIST-Trooper as a sniper). During a mission there is no reinforcement and you are outnumbered by the bugs. The enemy units are not very intelligent, but they use their own special abilities like splitting acid and are very powerful. There is a wide range of enemies, from simple close-range fighters to suicide units, artillery bugs and even human soldiers. The mission objectives are also different. From simple hunting missions up to escorts or the capturing of bugs.
The game also have a RPG part. Surviving soldiers gain experience points for each killed bug / destroyed bug holes. By and by the soldiers increase their states and acquire higher ranks. Better battle suits (armor) and stronger weapons are only available for soldiers with high ranks. The basic soldier (called Cat Trooper) have no armor and is an easy prey for the bugs. Besides the experience points you gather upgrade points for your equipment for e.g. increase the damage of the weapons. Another aspect of the RPG part is that you can equip each of your soldiers individual with up to two different weapons and two tech-items (like bombs or toxic gas).
The graphic of the landscape is low on details, everything looks post apocalyptic. Much better is the combat graphic and the explosions. The cutscenes are made with the in-game graphic. Besides the sound effects your soldiers all have a voice to confirm your orders.Action Science fiction
