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".

This game came and went too soon. There is no other game like it. It is still one of my fave games of all time and I am super sad it is gone. Bring Atlas Reactor back!
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.

Atlas Reactor is one of a kind game. Turn based MOBA with simultaneous turns was an otherwordly idea. This is one of the best TB games of all time, to be honest.

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.

I played this games thousands of hours trying to perfect every turn. My mates and I played this game skipping out on sleep just to improve and push us ever so slightly further. No game ever made me think so much and had such highs and lows at the same time.

One of the only free to play style games I actually spent money in. There really has been nothing like it. Amazing gameplay, cool art, just fun. The turn based system was so great for those of us without reflexes!
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.

Time of Fury
Time of FuryIn World War II every single aspect of war was crucial: from troop movements to supply, from logistics to diplomacy, from innovation to careful use of terrain.

This is a game that truly replicates all these aspects. The developers of the highly successful Time of Wrath are back to the European theater of war with an ambitious project that allows players to truly experience what it was to be a decision maker of the period. Time of Fury spans the whole war in Europe and gives players the opportunity to control all types of units, ground, air and naval.

Each country in the game is represented with dedicated attributes. Every country has got it's pros and cons. This makes the game extremely replayable and provides hundreds of hours of play.
