First Impression of
Da Story - idk. i never really understand the story of Awesomenauts. just check it on the opening
Da Gameplay - AWESOME. for a 2D Side-scrolling Coop Action game, it really fits the type. it got a full controller support, and the development is still ongoing (it's patch 2.5 when this post is typed). it's a balanced 3 on 3 match, with around 15+ heroes (called "Awesomenauts"). you can teleport back to base without buying some shit, and you could get hit if you don't hide behind your droids. the neutrals are for healing purpose (they won't attack). and the skills are easy to use (and easy to understand). one of my favourite awesomenauts is Raelynn the Bounty Hunter. it's locked until you reach a certain level (which could be achieved by playing Practice Mode). well, earning gold (called "Solar") is easy, you could just kill neutrals, or move around the map collecting white Solars (valued 1 solar). killing the enemy awesomenaut, will drop some gold solars, but you have to be fast, to collect all the solars. coz your friend can pick the solars dropped too. or when you're killed, you'll drop some solars too.
another thing, there is a "Skin" system, so your awesomenauts will look different, but no different in stats. if you have some money to spend, just buy some skin, worth the price if i say (but i never bought anything)
overall 8/10. bonus points for full controller support. i luv dat
why should we play this? it's a fun thing to play with your friends, spending time together, it supports Local and LAN play too... so, the conclusion is, if you want something that can be played cooperatively with your friends, Awesomenauts is one of them
