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.

KaratekaKarateka is a 1984 beat'em up video game by Jordan Mechner, and was his first game created while attending Yale University. It was originally programmed for the Apple II, and was later ported to several other home computers and early gaming consoles. The game was published in North America by Brøderbund, and in Europe by Ariolasoft.
The player controls an unnamed protagonist who is attempting to rescue his love interest, the Princess Mariko, from Akuma's castle fortress. The game exhibits a combination of a side-scrolling platform and fighting game elements. The player uses punches and kicks to defeat Akuma and his guards and make his way deeper into the fortress. The game, as with most at the time of development, lacked checkpoints or the ability to save the game, making it a challenge to complete in a single sitting.
Karateka has been well-received, particularly for its realistic animations used for the game's characters. The game was considered a breakthrough success for Mechner, and would eventually result in his development of the Prince of Persia franchise. A high-definition remake, spearheaded by Mechner, was released as a downloadable title for the Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, with planned ports for the iOS and Wii U systems.Action
