Awesomenauts casts its conflict across the stars, where robot armies are locked in a stalemate and mercenaries are called in to fight for galactic supremacy. Its defining twist is a MOBA built as a colorful action platformer: battles unfold through fast-paced platforming, framed in a Saturday-morning-cartoon style rather than a conventional top-down presentation.
The tactical structure remains central. Players contend with creeps, turrets and bases, while upgrading and customizing each character’s skills to suit their preferred approach. The roster features distinct abilities and upgrade options, and the action spans exotic planets and alien spaceships. That combination of character builds, objective pressure and platforming gives Awesomenauts its particular blend of strategy and direct combat.
Play can take place online in teams, with friends joining as a party, or locally through splitscreen, including offline play. Custom games and shareable modes extend the ways players can meet, while the map editor and Steam Workshop support community-made content.
