    Awesomenauts has fantastic potential, but is not quite there. Tweaks to the balancing and AI will make this one a star.

    Awesomenauts is a deep multiplayer battler with the approachability of a Saturday-morning cartoon.

    A clever spin on the MOBA genre that strips away the complications and nerdy presentation to create a fast-paced but deceptively complex action strategy game.

    Awesomenauts has a good and effective mix of genres: platformer, strategy and action.

    Splendid multiplayer mayhem contains a strong factor of addictiveness – unusual design and perfect playability will keep you in the game for a long time. [Nov 2012]

    Well worth 10 dollars, there's gonna be a bunch more free skins on the way from what I understand if anyone was interested in that.

    This ga
    me is a 2D platformer moba without the a-holes from those games, I swear playing dota 2 changed me into an evil person almost, but holy crap this game is so laid back and fun, it's still competitive but fun.

    To me, getting kills isn't nearly as satisfying as getting them in dota 2 but the over all game play just feel so slick.

    Instead of buying items, you buy upgrades, and the abilities are pretty cool the game is well worth 10 dollars.

    It does need a few balances though, but otherwise it's a solid game well worth looking at.

  2. Awesomenauts its a MOBA style videogame, fun and very dynamic, but theres something negattive playing online, the champions or characters are unlockable depending on player level, but online matches doesnt balance this, player will lose a few times against more experienced players until the player unlock a few champions.

  3. Ok, this game is just great. There's nothing at all bad about it, the devs update regularly, the heroes are unique, and the platforming makes everything fun. The only bad point is that people aren't that talkative while playing it seems, so try to get a party together. Then the real fun begins. That, and it costs like 10 bucks, its a must buy in my opinion. Very well balanced too. Also, it doesn't have the problem 2 other MOBAs have (HoN and LoL (Dota 2 has good voice acting)): EXTREMELY ANNOYING VOICE ACTORS. Also, the community is actually pretty pleasant, so yeah, its pretty great. Full Review »
