![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/2h62n.jpg[/url]) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSIAYhMITJo&feature=player_embedded Made by the people who made Swords and Soldiers, this is supposed to be a side-scrolling MOBA(DoTA-type) game for XBLA and PSN. Looks interesting to me, and the music is awesome, but I'm worried about there being enough people playing it. I'll have to wait on the price for it to see if I'll buy it. Here's a link a hands-on impression from E3 : http://indiegames.com/2011/06/e3_2011_hands-on_impressions_o_2.html | ||

Imagine it would do good on PC, due to the fact that you can type to each other, and it's light on the graphics enough to where anyone could run it. | ||

This is just a slap in the face! Or you just play Dota 2 where you get all the heroes, which are over 100 when done, for free. Which also happens to be a FAR better game than any other moba. | ||

But with a handful of good moba games thzat are free, most people will have no interest in this game. Im interested in it, but im hestitant to spend so much on a indie game that probably has no player base. | ||

I was excited when I saw it on Steam because it reminded me of Altitude. I pretty much hate MOBA games but the 2d aspect intrigues me. I will buy it if the player base isn't a joke. | ||

Trust me it's a lot of fun and the skill ceiling is very very high imho. Love this game  And I always find players to play against/with. With a friend or two you can play arranged team too which is a lot of fun. | ||

I usually can't stand MOBA games but this one is amazing. I was immediately drawn in by the exciting gameplay. The 2d platformer style really adds an element of skill to the game. Also, the visual style and music in the game are surprisingly captivating. When I saw the video preview I thought it would be lame and childish, but I have been thoroughly impressed. Definitely worth it if you want to try a different MOBA that is unlike anything on the market currently. Or if you are a fan of 2d games like Altitude or Gang Garrison. | ||

I played 4 hours straight without realising that time was passing, this game is really really fun !! Easy to find an online game (never had to wait more than 5s and it's 4am here...) I really really really like this game, been playing with froggyG mainly, because his sound track is too god and i really enjoy his gampelay. Aren't some chars way more OP than others ? I feel like the big guy that shoots rockets has like way too much hp | ||

This is actually the first time i've just had pure, unadulterated fun hahaha It's really really easy to get into, and just loads of fun playing the silly heros with the silly humour Very refreshing for the genre, really worth it's value | ||

I LOVE this game so much, but it seems like nobody really wants to play. It also seems there isn't really a competetive community or anything to setup 3v3 battles etc. It's kind of a shame cause this game is really really awesome (lol) and fantastically fresh for the genre. | ||

I really enjoyed playing Froggy (both cd reductions and groud splash stun dash is pretty ridiculous) and Leon. Seems like most players aren't too good at game or it rubber bands situations hard (chasing and slashing wildly can more often than not result in hits even if neither of you are in proper position). Few more skills per character wouldn't hurt as current customization is only pre-choosing powerups to buy, still despite the simplicity, it was a pleasant suprise overall. | ||

I'm here to update everyone on what has been happening with this game lately and instead of having to make a new thread, I'll just revive this one instead. So, I've been involved with the Awesomenauts Community since PC Beta (I think July 2012) and the community has grown greatly. It had 75k members when I joined. Now it has more than 350k players on the steam community alone. Right now, only the PC version of the game is being updated. The main reason is because patching on consoles is pretty expensive compared to Steam and I believe there's a different publisher for the console version as well. The PC version has 12 characters right now and we're expecting the 13th one to come out this week (in a few hours, actually) and all characters have been balanced accordingly many times. Ronimo(the devs) has implemented many improvements in the game to make the experience more enjoyable. They just recently implemented a seasonal leaderboards where the ladder resets every couple months. This actually doubled the number of active players. It's a great game overall but it does have some built-in problems as well. A major problem in my eyes is the Peer to Peer system. This is such a big problem in my opinion because the game requires very quick reaction time to play it properly. Having bad ping because someone is on the other side of the globe will not help you with that. The peer to peer system also makes it impossible to have dedicated servers. According to Ronimo, it will take them a least a whole year of dedicated focus if they were to make dedicated servers. Their quick fix for that problem is that implemented a system where you can choose the region where you want to find players. It's a good system but with the community not really as big as other MOBAs, it doesn't really help that much. But even though it has problems, the competitive scene is starting to grow. Some community members made a site dedicated to hosting tournaments for awesomenauts. The sites not pretty active yet but it's just starting. Check it out when you can: http://apl.iougaming.com/ They just finished their first tourney a month ago but the second tournament is happening next week. The lack of spectator mode is indeed a great burden but i hear that they have something to make things work. There is also a growing subreddit for this game. We just recently reached 2000 members and I am hosting an event this weekend to celebrate. Please do check it out: http://www.reddit.com/r/Awesomenauts/comments/19cgnm/2000_redditnauts_weekend_event_mar_23_2013/ Anyways, that's all the info I'll give for now. Please do check out these sites if you want to be part of the community: Official Forums - http://www.awesomenauts.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 Redditnauts - http://www.reddit.com/r/Awesomenauts/ If you want to buy the game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/204300/ (this game has the BEST soundtracks btw) I will be posting a list of youtubers here as well in the future for those want to watch more content. | ||

I expect that they will nerf her in the near future because what she can do is ridicilous, i know that she is new but 90% of the time you join a game you will have at least 1 ayla usually 2. She is complety out of control. | ||

If you haven't tried it and it goes on on discount during the steam summer sale i would definatly recomment this game, it is not like other Mobas, there is occasionally some rage and stuff but usually people don't shit on you for using sub-par builds. There is a metagame and lots of tricks and stuff to learn but it is not overwhelming like in other Mobas. | ||

BTW It is free to play now & available for PC on Steam. I bumped into it recently and found it pretty good. A lot of enjoyment for a lot less effort than regular MOBA-s like Dota or LoL. | ||
