    LOVE this game! It's so addictive and fun and each character is just so unique its crazy. If you ever played League of Legends or Dota and enjoy MOBAs then you should like this one too. If you didn't like them, you still will like this game. I hate LoL and DOTA 2 because they are too complicated and too much is going on on screen.

If you ever played League of Legends or Dota and enjoy MOBAs then you should like this one too. If you didn't like them, you still will like this game. I hate LoL and DOTA 2 because they are too complicated and too much is going on on screen. Awesomenauts simplifies things by 3 v 3 gameplay and instead of one giant item pool being available for any character to select from, the characters have their own specific items available for purchase. I'm not saying this game is simple, because there is definitely strategy and teamwork involved (HUGE emphasis on teamwork), it's just that these simplifications compared to other MOBAs are what makes this game so approachable but at the same time full of opportunity and character mastery. Engaging in matches where everyone is a noob is just fun and crazy. Playing matches where everyone is playing like a god makes for a super fun and intense match that feels so great to win at or leaves you feeling honorable and deserving of respect even if defeated. There are countless builds each character can create with the set of items specific to them, but you still know what to expect from each enemy you encounter if you know their moves and items at their disposal, which helps you develop good strategies for taking them out. Combining this logic with teams who are great with the characters they play as and all have good strategies against the other players they are facing makes for battles that need an audience. This game is constantly being updated making it bigger and better than before and I would highly suggest buying it for its very reasonable price. PS4 has pretty stable matchmaking and the player base is around 10,000. On PC the matchmaking isn't as good but the developers are currently optimizing that right now because they are great about keeping the player base happy and keeping their game alive.… Expand

    Excelente ! Al principio puede resultar aburrido si no sabes las mecánicas de el juego pero una vez que entiendes de que va y pones atención a las mejoras se vuelve muy adictivo, tiene mucha variedad de personajes y cada uno con poderes muy particulares.

    8 por el juego +1 por el tema principal, muy buena rola al estilo de las caricaturas e los 80´s

    3v3 2D MOBA game mixed with platforming.
    Costs about 10 bucks, very good value in my opinion.
    It's really fun game with wacky characters.

    +Awesome theme song :)

    Amazing game! I played the original on the 360 and the improvements are astounding! Best $10 spent. It's a 2D Moba, so the entire game consists of intense PVP encounters with some PvE mixed in.

Character diversity is fantastic with a lot of uniqueness in their method of travel. It's platforming and each character has a unique movement, attacks, and customization special abilities. It's easily the best Moba I've played and the experience on the console is unparalleled. 10/10. Customizable control scheme, premium skins to display, and so much more to love.

    If you are a fan of 2d action combat, MOBA's, etc. this game is a MUST BUY. Art style and graphics looks superb, performance is great, and promised improvements to come. Buy it this week (3/4/14) for a sale for PS+ members! You won't regret it.    … Expand

    No servers, constant quitters, same game a few improvements, same exploits, have to rebuy skins at a ridiculous price, OVERALL if you haven't played it give it a go if you have don't bother.
    If the purchase of skins actually meant a different load out for characters that would be cool.

    DEFINITELY NOT A 10/10 GAME. Those are fanboys reviewing.
    This entire experience is brought up or let down by your team mates or your opposition. Nothing like getting a team mate who feeds the enemies 10 kills and then quits.
    BUT it can be fun, CAN be get some decent players all with decent all round ping and you COULD have a blast.
    The same old exploits can be used in the game certain melee characters have a 4cm radius or more of melee destruction which isn't possible, the heal bots knockback is non existent until used by the opposing faction and there is another exploit with a player which is absolutely ridiculous.    … Expand

    Never gets old, super fun, 3 players split screen. I love this game, been playing since it only had 5 characters. If you think its unbalanced...keep playing. Surprisingly deep. Can't give it a high enough score, especially for $7.99.

    Absolutely amazing. Very addictive. Excellent value for money. You'll never want to stop playing. Play until you reach level 20 and you'll be hooked for life.

    My favorite MOBA. It's cute, funny and challenging. Well balanced as well! I was lucky enough to score this on sale and got it about $5-$6. I've already put about 10 hours into it, and while I'm a bit tired of it now. It's something I can go back too, jump into a game and have a blast.

    A balanced MOBA until you run into players that have purchased DLC. DLC characters tend to be overpowered and can kill a match with users playing with the standard characters. A variety of mechanics, character types, strategies, and platforming create a fun casual take on the MOBA which is usually a very serious genre.

    This is a decent game, but playing it on controllers ruins the experience. I have it on PC, and compared to that version this one is a huge pile of garbage.

    I like this game very much :) in my opinion it's highly playable, ps4 is currently lack of better MOBA titles and it's also tasty mixture of good soundtrack and memorable, well balanced characters

    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.

    If you like MOBA this is a super awesome game in 2D, really beautiful and well balanced.
    Some people say that some characters are op but when you know how to play a character, believe me, they are all op :)
    Before was a 8/10 but now this is more a 5/10, real players are rare and always the same. you often play with a bot (are even a full match with only you as a human player !) And    If you like MOBA this is a super awesome game in 2D, really beautiful and well balanced.

    And 2 cons:
    - some characters have abilities to be able to shot at the tower without to be targeting! this is a big NO for me.
    - people are locked in the current match even if they want to leave, so players who want to leave feed or simply stop playing.
    - I'm playing a match as a sole human, I want leave to search a new game and the game tells me that I will lose ranking points because of that? common...    … Expand

    It's still not quite perfect, but Awesomenauts Assemble is certainly a noticeable step up from its PS3 older brother. [May 2014, p75]

    Even though it's still, for a big part, the same game as a few years ago, it's really interesting to see how much the game has improve till now. There are lots of new characters and all kinds of features that make the game really enjoyable.

    It's a bit expensive because it's basically the same as its earlier PS3 version, which also means it's still the highly enjoyable arcade shooter you remember.
