Awesomenauts (Thoughts)



After seeing this game being portrayed through the usual mediums I finally decided to have a little look. From the trial version, it's essentially you're standard MOBA akin to that of League of Legends and Dota, though with a few different stipulations. On the one hand you only have to pay 10 bucks to have everything you could ask for without delving into the "microtransaction-y" side of other MOBAs. But LoL is actually free and you only have to pay for characters and costumes if you care enough. Awesomenauts does it away with that notion entirely allowing for everything (seemingly) to be unlocked through constant play. The art direction is pretty zany I suppose, nothing too outrageous. Character's have their own unique playstyles and the like. It's pretty fun and plenty addicting and I've only gotten to play one character! The trial version also gives you a 30 minute limit for online play and you can base your judgement off of that if you're still on the fence about it especially if you're into MOBAs and whatnot. It's a MOBA with a ton of charm and plenty of replayability and it's certainly changed my perspective on what I thought about MOBA's originally.
