Awesomenauts

I like that Atari are reviving this fun game.

Awesomenauts is a solid game and here's why: Pros: -Memorable Art style and Characters, as much as Gnaw annoys me, loved fighting him regardless, he's just one of the many heroes that provide a unique challenge to the arena -Beautiful soundtrack, These songs get stuck in my head, and for good reason. They all have a good pace that gives a positive vibe overall during matches, they don't feel overly serious and intense, but simply add personality to the game. -Easy to learn, Hard to master. Awesomenauts is probably the only moba i've played that I was able to pick up on easily and not feel overwhelmed or that I was useless to my team, all the skills you buy tell you what they do within a single sentence, and give unique little symbols to give a better idea of what it is. many builds can be made with a single character, adapt to your rivals and learn from how they fight. Cons -Heavy balancing issues with some characters, There are a few characters that seem to get a major dmg buff compared to others, and/or have an excessive amount of stuns and blinding skills (take it down a notch, yeah?) Games are better when you outplay a player, not constantly remove their ability to actually do anything. Some characters are a lot more fair with it. -Some character feel less cared for than others Smiles is a main one here, being utterly useless against anyone in most cases. a few of the heroes feel like they were second thoughts and thrown in without being powerful enough to do anything for the team. -Bots can be... broken sometimes easy bots lock in and become hard bots for no reason? they constantly turtle, no strategy used, the bots just watch every move and win everytime. (but it's not so bad with a full player team of 3) Final Thoughts: I'm glad to see this game back online, it's an absolute charm and provides a unique approach on the MOBA genre. All i'd ask is a progression system return, and tweaking some heroes to either be more viable, and others less crazy. I hope for a bright future of the game, Good Luck Ronimo Games and Atari!
