Honestly an amazing game, love that Atari has roll'd back the updates to make it playable again. Unfortunately almost everyone you meet is a sweat who's no-lifed this game since 2012 who will cry and whinge if you don't play at pro gamer levels. There are lots of sweet, lovely people, but also a lot of toxic adults who never grew out of their mean kid phase.

I'm so happy they brought this game back. I know it says I have 1700 hours in this game, but that's not actually true--I played hundreds of hours on PS3 before this game even launched on PC. I've also played Lol, DotA, Smite, HotS... if you can think of a MOBA, I probably at least tried it, and a few of those a sank hundreds of hours into. Awesomenauts tops all of them. It's just better. If you want to be able to compete against another team using complex mechanics and teamwork to conquer your enemies in a 1980's Saturday-morning cartoon-inspired universe, this right here is your jam. If you don't want that, then we can't be friends. Maybe you'd rather have some oat bran to watch or a hoop and stick you could play with. You might prefer watching paint dry. If you want to play a game that is super duper fun and occasionally also super frustrating, look no further.

With the talks of deadlock going around and stuff, I was reminded of this childhood favorite and went back to see if it was still kicking. Unfortunately, it's not. Turns out the devs behind it went bankrupt last year and the official servers are down. The game is still playable online through an old build of the game in the beta tabs, an old build that goes back to 2016. Fan discords and third party que systems are in place to make matches possible. It's just such a shame that there's so much content that was put in the game that isn't at all available anymore. I'm leaving a positive review as a nod of appreciation to the community who still continue to keep it alive but its a real gut punch to find out about everything this way. Edit as of January 18th: Hey Atari, thanks for making a statement that you're picking up the pieces and making the old version the main branch, I'll be eagerly looking forward to trying out the game again and maybe roping some friends into it too.

I played this game in early Beta, and fell absolutely in love with it! When the game got shelved I was so heartbroken about the whole thing, never in my wildest dreams did I think I could play again. Then lo and behold I discovered the game is still playable online! There are still people playing it, and it's not that hard to get a full lobby of randoms. Also helps that you can get into a Discord server and set up matches pretty easily. What a time to be an Awesomenaut!!
