    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.    … Expand

Lets get one thing straight, if you are one of those people who only like a certain genre of video games like fps this isnt for you. The game is very different compared to anything i've seen in a long time which should be noticed because it seems lately that there are either fps' or zombie games which i am tired of. With new updates and a brand new DLC that is in early access the game has really changed to something you can play for hours on end. Many characters to choose from each with a different advantage and disadvantage keeps you from saying the common phrase "THAT **** IS OP". Limited settings are not bad because the game is simple and there is controller support and local play. These are 2 things i feel that should be implemented into more games. Each time you play a game it tends to go on anywhere from 20 to 40mins which is nice for those times you cant play a most likely 1 hour LoL or DoTA match. The only complaints i have is that when there is clearly a game where you are losing but is gonna go on for too long you can't surrender. The last and possibly best part of the game is how although the game looks simple and easy it is difficult enough that you have to learn things about the game that takes some time to get used to. Maps can be memorized and there is even a level up and prestige system in the game to keep making you want to comeback for more. I have played 200hours of this game and have over 30 other video games. I can personally tell you that this game is well worth the money you pay for it.… Expand

    Since it came out in early May, I have played this game almost everyday. The game play is simple yet addictive, and the fact that there has been no updates for months (I play on a PS3) has not stopped the game from being a ton of fun. For 10 dollars, I don't think you can get a better deal.

This game is a fresh unique game with a ton of personality and quite a bit of innovation for a MOBA type game. It has a fair skill curve that makes it easy to pick up early on, and it's a ton of fun to play regardless of how good you are. When I first went into Awesomenauts, I was a bit hesitant as to how long I would actually play it and if I would just end up pushing it off to the side of my virtual Steam library shelf like most of my other ten dollar multiplayer games. This was not the case, however, as I soon discovered that the game has lots to keep you coming back every time.

    While there may be a couple of bad things to say about Awesomenaut's balancing, server, matchmaking, etc. at this point in time, I feel it's important to note that this game is updated and patched at a frequent basis. That being said, it's a bit hard for me to rate the game based on said content as the developers are progressively updating game mechanics to eventually become even better.

    In conclusion, Awesomenauts is well worth the ten dollars. The platforming MOBA cross breed has all the credentials that a great online game requires, and it's evident that the developers truly love their creation and aren't just throwing it on the market as fast as possible to make their cash. Awesomenauts is an experience I'd highly recommend seeing for yourself, as I too am still playing it to this day, eagerly waiting for the next awesome batch of content.    … Expand

    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.

Also if you are dropped from a game (which, because of its P2P nature, happens quite often) you can't enter back, being punished.

    Arranged teams are matched against random teams, making games also very imbalanced.

    P2P connection consumes lots of bandwith, and as soon as your ping rises above 300ms you are automatically kicked out of the game. I've seen lots of games ruined because of this.

    Minus very minimal lag issues, this game is hands down my favorite, and most well balanced MOBA I've ever played. It's quirky, easy to learn, and also very rewarding. The difference between characters is noticeable, but none are any better than the others overall. The style the game has is unmatched, and it's so easy to have a good time, even if you lose.

Every awesomenaut is unique and there are no counter-picks, only better-made teams. However, there are a number of problems in the game considering the match making system and the leaderboards. Leaderboards are supposed to help by matching you with players of your skill, which is calculated from your percentage of wins(winning earns you points-losing decreases your points). The problem is that in many cases you will have feeders and/or leavers that leave fairly early once your opponents gain the lead to avoid losing points and are replaced by bots that are useless compared to real players, leading to frustration almost every time. And the worst of all is leavers are not punished as hard as the player who doesn't ragequit. In addition, the game often disconnects from the "host" something that counts as a loss to your personal score and is somewhat common. Also, the number of awesomenauts is not that big as the developer is currently busy with the starstorm DLC(which I really enjoy and recommend if you have 8 more euros to spend), which may make the game a bit dull after a while(not soon though). Reporting or honoring a player is absent in this MOBA and friending them is not made as simple as in other titles. I wouldn't recommend awesomenauts to people that care about rankings in MOBAS and are sensitive about that stuff, however if you want to play it for the lolz I definitely recommend to go for it and if you can find some friends to play together you are going to love it.… Expand

    Once you get past the flaws, which every game has in one form or another, this is actually quite enjoyable. Granted it lacks the "flashy" aspects of other games, and it can take a while to get used to. But as you learn to understand the underlying mechanics it grows on you. Latency is an issue, but is getting better with time. Something different if you're tired of traditional games in this genre.

For example the league system assigns a player to league 6 from the start and winning or losing games and counting the number of deaths an kills will depend on whether or not you move up a league or down. When you go to find a game you will be match making with players in the same league or very close to it.

    Another point is that the level up system to unlock new characters and upgrades isn't only available from online play, you are more than welcome to play only practice mode with rather easy bots and still reek the benefits that players winning online matches would. It's something I'd strongly recommend doing a couple of times as every character so you find one that matches your play style before you wonder in to battle with the big boys.

    This take on a side scrolling moba is fun to play as long as you have friends. The characters you play have their unique theme music and they are all equally unique. However where the game falls of is that unfortunately the game community is small and this is where playing Dota or League becomes an easier game to play.

    Moba + Platformer? Why not! Awesomenauts has an incredible unique touch that doesn't take itself seriously! With ridiculous characters and also the soundtrack, the game is quite charming! The community is different than most moba as there is less competition and more fun! Not expensive, easy to play and very enjoyable I recommend it for everyone!

    This game is definitely worth the price. It's addicting, I have played it for days straight. It is a strategic 2D MOBA that will leave you staring at your computer for hours on end. While I do wish there were more characters, it is still very fun and worth looking into

    Very fun game, only issues are with the matching system and connection problems.

    Often times you'll be booted from a game due to Host lag, the system then notes your leaving the game as a quit and penalizes you for "leaving". So not only don't you get experience from the game you were just in, but your experience from the next game is lessened, because you "quit" a match.

    Also, there are times when a team will just steamroll you, no matter what you do you cannot even kill a single opponent, so after the match you'll return to the menu, trying to get paired with more even opponents, only to join a new game against the previous team. Go ahead and leave it, you'd rather face the leave penalty than waste time in a losing match. Oh no! The system returns you to this match again.

    So your next step is to join up with some friends from Steam, you play a couple of successful rounds and are feeling great about Awesomenauts again. Even losing a close match is just as fun as winning one. But three or four games in, suddenly one of your Steam friends spawns on the opposing side, with no warning or reason.

    The game gets an A+ for fun when it works but when you go three matches in a row and drop connection from each one right at the end, you're ready to uninstall and move on.    … Expand

The glitchy matchmaking is that if you leave a game sometimes you will be thrown into the same match when you re-queue, and other times it will just have you host a game in which there are no players (only bots) and then it immediately says it found a game with more players and you try to join that other game only to find it set you up again with bots. Only a few hundred people play this game so there's obviously longer wait times than LoL. Also there's a ranking system, so it matches you with people near your rank (unfortunately there is no unranked). On the whole though it's a great game, highly recommended if you're a fan of MOBAs.… Expand

    When it came to the MOBA genre, I didn't like it. I couldn't get used to the controls and I just couldn't get into the games themselves. But when I found Awesomenauts on steam, I was hooked. The game plays smoothly and the controls are excellent as they use the usual WASD controls. If you are a fan of MOBAs then pick up this game. If you aren't then you can still get into it like I did.

The gameplay is simple, not so tough, but still gives you a challenge against whoever your facing. Also this game is local co-op so if you always have somebody always wanting a turn to play you can just hand him or her a gamepad and start blasting away. I'm not really finding that much lag well I did play this game for about 2 hours and plan to continue until further notice. Also another problem is whenever my connection will stop since it will do that from time to time, I wouldn't be able to enter that same match I was in, now it should really include a function that will allow you to do that like in the other moba's. I'm having no problems with match making because sometimes the bots will play much better then the player, and when a person does straight up leave the game you get a decent replacement at a close lvl, since this is a moba game where you may have a bad team against a good team so noone should really be complaining about that logic.… Expand

Awesomenauts seems to solve that problem for me by simplifying things, but only slightly, and polishing the action. When I play Awesomenauts, I get the same kind of old-school Megaman-type joy I used to get with my NES, coupled with the heady rush of victory in a modern competitive online game or the teeth-grinding rage of defeat.

    I think the phsyics and action are well done for a side-scroller. They've managed to marry that well with the core gameplay mechanic of lane-pushers, and neither genre seems to suffer for it. I also enjoy the art, humor, and general style of the execution I believe TotalBiscuit said they were going for a Saturday Morning Cartoon motif, and it shows. This game just oozes "cool", in a elementary-school awesome hologram Ninja Turtles lunchbook sort of way, if that makes any sense.

    If I had to name gripes about it, the characters could possibly be slightly better balanced and there could possibly be a better protection against steamrolling, but that may be partly due to my skill level, as I don't like to get too much into the "metagames" of things I play.

    I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys the popular lane-pushers and is feeling adventurous enough to try something a bit fresh and twitchy, or anyone who hankers for some old-school Capcom style blasting with a heaping spoonful of hectic competition.    … Expand

    Character selection is good, fits mine and my girlfriends play-styles (mine more agile, her raw power).
    The game seems a little bit unfair with the kills, as the last shot gets all the credit, and the one who might have taken off all the damage, gets no credit at all, not even an assist. But I guess thats the case with all MOBAs, which is another part I don't like about them.
    If you're just starting to play with friends, I would recommend playing a private game, with bots, so you could adjust the difficulty level and learn. Going straight to play against real people will be hard.

While competitive, I still find it to be much more relaxed than other MOBAs like LoL or DOTA 2. There are many characters available and there's always a playstyle and character for everyone. The voice actors for the game are often popular Youtubers and the voices and dialogue make the game hilarious at times.

    Although you do have to unlock characters by playing games and leveling up, the starting characters provide valuable insight into how the rest of the characters work. Each character has a unique jump and movement speed and the first two characters allow new players to learn about how to use the different jumps and speeds they may encounter later.

    Many players complain about a few "overpowered" characters. The truth, in my opinion, is that every character is overpowered if used well, which results for an interesting balance in the game. However, Ronimo often updates and rebalances the characters as needed, and adds new characters every now and then.

    The community is usually quite pleasant with a few exceptions once in awhile; however, there is no voice chat (looking at the mute buttons that are now available on the scoreboard, that may be soon to come) and players rarely type in chat. Teamplay with friends is highly recommended, but not necessary. Personally, I am a solo queuer, meaning that I just join in to a game by myself, and it works out pretty well.

    Awesomenauts is an amazing and addictive game and I've been playing it every day since I bought it months ago. If you've never played a MOBA before, this is a great game to start with (I was an FPS gamer before this game). I highly recommend this game for anyone just looking to have fun, but there are competitive leagues if you're interested in that as well.    … Expand

    And lag. There is no lag. I ran this game on my old **** laptop at 40 FPS and max graphics.

    With the "pay-to-win" thing. There is 4 DLC characters currently. 1 of them is considered the worst character in the game. Another requires you to be hellishly skilled to even use the slightest. Another LOOKS overpowered because he has the best skill in the game, but not many people realize how horrible the second skill is. And the final character is probably the most "balanced" character in the game. Can be considered slightly too powerful, but really all-in-all he is nothing big.

    Really the only problematic character in the game is this "Leon" guy, Ronimo doesn't know how to nerf him for some reason. Every time they plan to nerf him, they just cancel it.

    But really, though admittedly it isn't the GREATEST executed game of all time, it's still my second favourite game of all time (after terraria).
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I strongly suggest you to get this game, and give it a chance, it's better than it seems at first glance.

    Lousy match making that matches you with noobs all the time, which means that you will lose all the time. Not worth buying or playing as it is a serious waste of your time.

    Game will ban you without any notice whatsoever and ignore all your emails/pleas. You will waste your money as they will not refund you or reply your email promptly. Once you are banned, you can't play online.

    It's a fun and addictive MOBA Plataform. Now the game is free to play which made a lot of very experience players create new accounts so that they could rigged the leaderboards. Players currently are around 250, which sometimes takes about 3 to 7 minutes to find a match. It would be so good if Ronimo (Developers) would give more care to it as it does have a lot of potential.

    Good Game.
    Динамичные бои, постоянные акции, мультяшная рисовка, уникальные герои и... Вобщем, стандартная MOBA в 2Dисполнении, что уже заслуживает внимания.

    - Graphics For a MOBA Indie Game,the Publishers used a simple Comic Graphic for this game.
    - Easy to learn After you played 2 Matches you know all what you need to know
    Bad Things:
    Leveling System For itself the System is very good,but when you play your first matches,you will see that other players have better Awesomenauts and better Items as you can have.
    Skinning System You have to pay for the most Skins, 2,50€ in Germany.
    I hope i helped you! :)
    No Filter System you can't join on a server that you want,you will go in some servers there a map is that you hate. Thats the biggest Problem of the Game.    … Expand

    The game is a must have for platformer gamers and MOBA lovers, it's easily one of a kind and does it's job well, plus the kickass soundtrack helps this game A LOT!

    Only downside is the balance is a bit messy, however Ronimo (The devs) are fixing these as we speak! Every patch someone becomes balanced, Over or Underpowered and it's actually really funny.    … Expand

    De todos los MOBAs que he probado, este ha sido el único que me ha enganchado y me ha permitido disfrutar de el como un enano. No se si sera su jugabilidad en 2D o el hecho de que sea más sencillo que quizá algo del estilo de Dota 2, pero sin duda es un juego del que, si dispones de dos amigos mas, vas a echarle muuuuuuchas horas. Totalmente recomendable, y a un precio muy asequible.

    I have never played a more terrible game than Awesomenauts. The only game that I can compare it to on levels of **** is Sonic 2006 for the Xbox 360.

    Awesomenauts is a 2D MOBA with eye candy graphics that resemble 80s cartoons. You choose one of the many heroes and try to destroy the enemy’s base with your other two teammates. You earn “solar” by killing enemies or damaging the enemy base, which you can spend on upgrading your hero. The heroes come with unique abilities and are enjoyable to play with. Moreover, the game has great graphical design and awesome voice acting. It is very hard not to be initially impressed by Awesomenauts.

    Unfortunately, though, despite being inherently a good game, it is hard to recommend it. The game is crippled by a terrible matchmaking system. It is quite common having to wait 5+ in the lobby to start a short game. From time to time, a player abandons right when the game is about to begin, therefore resetting the timer for the launch of the round. I also have the impression that the teams are random rather than skill based and if a team of experienced players faces a team of beginners, the game is simply not enjoyable. Another drawback is that the game menu is occupied by “follow us on youtube / twitter / facebook” banners, something I personally do not like to see when I launch a game.

    Multiplayer based games offer different experiences based on the time-period that they are played. Sometimes they evolve to become much better games than they initially were (Natural Selection 2), and sometimes the game destroys itself by changing its mechanics for the worse (Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest). Other times, the game loses its player base to the extent that it becomes not enjoyable, which seems to be the case for Awesomenauts. And neither making the game free to play nor the matchmaking system seems to have helped addressing this problem.    … Expand

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