Multiplat Awesomenauts

[Testekill]

Who else has picked up this game in the last couple of days? Since it's free for PS+ subscribers so I figured that I would give it a go and next thing I know, I've sunk about four hours into it. It's sort of like DOTA or League of Legends but re-imagined as 2D Run and Gun shooter and it's just a massive throwback to the 80's cartoons.

I'm yet to unlock Yuiri but as soon as I do, I will never select a different character ever again because it's a monkey with a jetpack and a laser. You can disagree with me on that but that is the most incredible combination ever.

I dont think it could be any further from DotA/LoL/HoN lol.

 

[caMoGFC]

i intend to give it a run later on tonight

it loks pretty cool from what i've seen though

Voltar is surprisingly effective at taking down turrets. His drones seem to just cause them to freak out and if you're behind a droid or two then you're safe thanks to his healing wave attack.

Too bad about the devs going bankrupt only a week before release. Someone stuffed up there.

Must say from what I've watched on GiantBomb, the game looks very polished and well made. At least for the gametype. Not going to be for everyone, but looks at least a good bit of competitive fun.

Will give it a go soon.

I haven't been following this release, as the game looks frankly boring to me, but I thought it was the original publisher that went bankrupt, not the dev team?

Ah yes, guess I didn't read it over properly. I wasn't really following it too hard either, skimmed a bit and thought it was the dev from what I'd been hearing.

had a very, very brief playthrough earlier and it seems like a bit of fun!

wish that the character moved a bit faster but it seems quite nicely polished overall.
wish i had my proper tv to play it on though as the tv i'm currently on (which is still good) just isn't the same....(noticed it most when i jumped on rayman for a level).

will give it a better go later in the week if i get time to jump on the ps3

Downloaded it, but then it disappeared, and im unable to locate it again...

When your profile reaches second level (so more or less after one game), you can alter your characters purchasable abilities and each character has a movement speed increase in the bottom row that you can grab first up.

Oh my god have you divided by zero or something?


And I've unlocked Yuri (Monkey with the jetpack and laser) and he's significantly harder then the other characters. His laser is pretty weak to begin with and one of his abilities is a pure passive one but his maneuverability is awesome.

yeah i saw that section but didn't really look into it cause i was kinda busy and that's where i stopped

think speed will be first thing i change cause the way it starts is just too slow for my liking.

the characters look sweet as

ummmm wtf? didn t the publisher go bankrupt?

huh wtf is going on, how could the dev go bankrupt wow what is going on with this game

is it still coming out? i dunno how it will with the devs going bankrupt though????

 

[Igloo]

Downloading it for a 2nd time worked for some reason. Been playing it a bit today. Level 4 Lonestar is my favourite out of all the characters I have. 3 sticks of dynamite is great.

not my fault you got it horribly wrong

You couldn't read right, I didn't read an article right. Seems to be fairly similar.

 

[caMoGFC]

more awesomenauts, less PAdman!

 

[Igloo]

Bringing it back to the game, using Yuri is annoying. His attacks are weak, and moving him around is annoying.

Clunk is good for just killing everyone. The explosion move is great for getting multikills.

Lonestar is still my favourite though.

 

[Testekill]

Leon is an absolute beast when you put some effort into him. He starts off weak but giving him the health drain, damage and attack speed upgrades and he will tear anything in range apart. Then give him the tongue lash and he'll drag anyone that is trying to run away so you can pick them off.


I'm actually not big on Lonestar or to be precise, the hyper bull. It's not very strong early on since you need to unlock the ability to deal damage with it and the damage output isn't that great to begin with. The dynamite is pretty awesome though.

 

[Igloo]

Yeah, I don't use hyper bull. Waste of solar. I just upgrade the blaster and dynamite. He's great for destroying turrets and the enemy bases.

I haven't put much effort into Leon yet tbh. Used him a couple of times, and he seemed alright.

Clunk is good for demolishing enemies. Especially with the self destruct move. I've got plenty of multi-kills with that.

just played a full practise match then on Ribbit IV with Froggy G (who i'm assuming is pretty crap) and boy did i have fun!

i can tell i'm going to get smashed in this when i take it online til i upgrade my chracters but you can already tell the tactics and focus required to be good at it.....verrrrrrryyyyyyy cool game and i've only played 1 full practise game.

Your friends list is full, haha.

Getting annoyed at being put in games with all bots sometimes. Other times I get put it full player games, which is good, but the ones with bots shit me.

sorry, i'll delete ppl now so try again shortly

just played as lonestar then after customising his kit and when you upgrade his blaster speed and damage he's a beast compared to that froggy g guy.

i'm a biggggggg fan of this game and all i've done is played a couple of practises so far .
i'm ultra agressive so will die a shitload when i play online i reckon but go the objective super hard so will always be a force i think.

can't wait to try out some more characters tomoz!

 

[caMoGFC]

just looked at the trophy list and looks like it would be a piece of cake to 100% it with a bit of playtime sunk in

 

[Igloo]

I play more aggressive as well, and for some reason always take the higher path to the other side. The satisfaction in killing someone who is trying to run away is immense, haha.
