Even though I already bought the game, the steam sales are awesome because it brings a lot of new players into the game which makes the community larger

I'd say: start with a let's play video, pick a character that looks fun, and play some bot matches on lowest difficulty.

Your goal is to destroy the drill, a king of large building, at the opposite side of the map. There are two lanes to get there, and on each lane are two towers that block your path. Use the tiny robots as meatshields when attacking a tower.

Thanks. I'm familiar with MOBAs, just not Awesomenauts, obviously.

I'd say to try to avoid 'nauts like Derpl, Yuri and Voltar for the time being (at least in pub games), as they require a lot of understanding of game mechanics and teamplay to use to their full advantage (of which you most likely lack because you're new).

That fucking monkey has been the bane of my existence... I'm really enjoying Scoop, and I also played some as Gnar. I haven't touched anyone else yet.

Scoop is probably the easiest character to learn. I always had trouble learning how to play with the first few unlocked characters (this was before Scoop was added to the game). I had very little action-strategy experience at the time.

Now I recommend either Scoop or Sheriff Lonestar for novice players. I have several hundred hours in the game, and I still don't know how to use Sheriff Lonestar, but that's probably because I never spent the time to learn him.

Scoop and Sheriff Lonestar have simple abilities and movement. Some of the other early characters are more complicated:

  • Clunk is slow and cannot easily escape fights
  • Leon has an invisibility stealth mechanic that takes practice to learn (like the Spy in Team Fortress 2)
  • Froggy G initiates fights, but takes game knowledge to know when to start fights and when to leave
  • Voltar slides around (has a long stopping distance), has odd jumping, and is focused on healing and knowing when to use an explosion ability

Raelynn might be somewhat simple too.

Best sale ever! I can buy 10 of my friends this game, and then force them to play with me! :P haha

I don't see all the skins in the "Downloadable Content For This Game" section.

Cynical Vinnie & Total Spike isn't listed

Hmm, indeed, I have no idea why. I have contacted Steam support to find out the cause.

Does that include the starstorm bundle? I've been meaning to get back into awesomenauts, but that bundle was a little too steep for me right now

rws247•

Yes, 50% of now!

i have a bunch of steam keys from old humble bundles that i would love to trade with anyone for some skins and announcers?

edit: games that are available are: duke nukem 3D, glactic civiliseations 2, gunpoint, legend of grimrock, on the rain slick precipice ep. 1, orcs must die 2, the baconing, pixel piracy, pixel junk eden, shadow warrior classic redux, super splatters, terraria, tower of guns and world of goo.

i know most of you have them but thought it is worth a try as the money will go to ronimo and not me

Woohoo, got my hands on most of the skins! The only skins I don't have are Ahrpl and Pirate Leon but I don't play them that much so all is good!

Does anyone know how often the skins go on sale? and whether the price gets lower during Steam Summer sale?

Are all the dlc's only for skins? Is there anything worth buying straight away if I'm just thinking of buying Awesomenauts now?

1
NetherPlebiscite•

Starstorm is an expansion including several exclusive nauts, everything else is either skins or voice acting that adds nothing more than a visual/audio experience.

Hey guys! Question! I'm buying this for a friend. What will he NOT get if I don't buy him Starstorm? Is the base game enough?

Thank you in advance. Cheers!

Without Starstorm he won't get the 5 Starstorm nauts (Niibs, Ted, Penny, Skree, Sentry)

Thank you!

Awesome!! Just bought all the DLC I was missing x-x

I managed to pick up the Coco announcer, an extra copy of nauts and Froggy G's skins. I was surprised that the sale would be at 90 percent off for the main game.

I really wish Scoop, Nibbs, and Sentry had non-Premium skins. I like having skins for each character, but greatly prefer the default voicework for these characters than what their current skins provide.

I'd use Pirate Derpl more if it still had an option to use SUSI, the best secretary of all time.

Does the SUSI announcer not count?
