there's a reason awesomenauts is called awesomenauts, and not goodenoughnauts. the 2d online battle arena game by ronimo games (swords & soldiers) was one of the surprise delights of gamescom 2011. the game features a style of gameplay that's becoming familiar with the mainstream rise of games like league of legends and dota 2, but is a more arcade-style experience that is reminiscent of monday night combat or super smash bros.

expected to launch on xbla and psn, all the game's matches are 3v3 and allow for every combination of couch and online co-op. players have a home base, with two turrets (towers) to protect in each lane of the several available maps available in the game. most maps include two lanes and a fog of war ''''''jungle'''''' area where teammates are can pick up extra cash, bonuses and health packs.
