Awesomenauts - PC Game Review
Awesomenauts is a platform based base attack shooter.
It is quite simple. You choose between a bunch of characters - all of which are completely different and get very different extra powers. Some have blasters, other knifes, one has a healing wave.
Then you start getting dropped on a rocket (where you weave to get extra coins), which is probably the most annoying mechanic.
Next, you can pass by a shop - where you can buy extras specific to your character. For example, one has dynamite and a bull that pushes enemies. Another has a bunch of drones and a healing bot. Each of these powers have a bunch of upgrades, and you choose what you can unlock before each game.
Then comes the attack. There are multiple levels (usually) and your objective is to destroy the turrets (mostly to pass them), and then the main drill, at which point you win. One interesting tidbit is that each side generates drones, which are weak but are a major tactical detail as you can hide from turret attacks behind them.
You can also teleport back to the shop anywhere, but it takes a while to charge.
I really like the graphics and sound - although the music is good, it can be a bit repetitive. The gameplay is pretty good and you get full progression on the Practice mode, including getting new levels, characters and upgrades. And there a ton of upgrades - you get a new power, character or map after almost every game!
Overall, I really like it for a quick game. Recommended. And it is on Humble Bundle 8, although as I write this it will only be available for 7 more days - so you can it for almost nothing.
