Not really a seasoned gamer in the MOBA scene (kind of like LoL, hates Dota 2), I was apprehensive at first about getting Awesomenauts from Steam, since it originated from consoles and the controls might not be optimized. But after a couple of screenshots and trailers later, I plunged in $9.99, bought it and played a few rounds…
I actually like it! A cartoony-side scroller MOBA, the first of its kind, the idea really works well despite the early map having only 2 “lanes”, kind of like LoL’s Twisted Treeline. Heroes are unlocked by leveling up (for now), skill sets can be chosen before a match starts, which makes game time much faster.
Using the mouse to actually target the right direction and attack is something which I have not seen for a while. Will try to play some real, online matches (PvP) after I get the hang of it. If you have spare cash and are looking for a casual game to play, Awesomenauts is the best option this summer 🙂
