Awesomenauts: Awesome or Not? | Valid Gaming

Awesomenauts is a MOBA available on PS3, Xbox 360 and Steam. Unlike its computer based counterparts, Awesomenauts is a side scrolling platformer as well as a MOBA and is limited to 3v3 games only.

What a waste!

should of just made a more traditional MOBA! I mean seriously only 13 million people play League of Legends! DotA 2, Heroes of Newerth, Smite, and a few other Mobas are really hot right now also!

surely next Gen consoles will luckily get more proper Mobas, RTS, simulations, and MMO's!

I can only say it is very fun, but VERY small on content.
Think before you buy it. You can use very few characters, and the ability set is very 'same-y'.

League of Legends is free, and offers probably 100 times the content (no exaggeration). I think it is enjoyable, but I don't want to see people parted with their cash so easily.

I suggest downloading the demo, as the demo lets you play online and get a feel for it, against other real players.

I played it on xbox 360 for 2-3 weeks then go bored with it.

There just aren't enough maps and characters. Characters being more important.

I got it free for PS Plus. It's a fun time killer but i have yet to play an online game. Everyone quits before the match is done.

Eh I played 100s of games and experienced players rarely quit. Plus they're replaced by bots if they do. It really doesn't matter to you if they quit, because if they're in a position that they're liable to do so, then they were probably going to lose anyway.

It's a really good game but I think it'd have been much more successful with 20+ characters.

I like this type of game, but there just aren't enough options on current gen systems.

What do you mean? Games like LoL are actually really simple in regards to control. I wish there were games as deep as LoL but controlled directly, like awesomenauts. I hate the point and click crap.
