Awesomenauts is a three vs. three M.O.B.A, or a multiplayer online battle arena. Basically it's like a tower defense game, except the towers are already built and your trying to destroy the other teams base.
In each match of Awesomenauts two teams of three players, lead computer controlled "minions" in an attack against the opposing teams towers in order to achieve their ultimate goal of destroying the opposing team's base. Each player controls a different character with their own unique special abilities.
When a character or a minion gets killed, they will drop these little grey and gold cubes called "solar" the games currency. After collecting enough solar, you can return to your base to buy upgrades to your abilities. This is actually replaces leveling and buying items, however there is still customization. Before each game begins you can pick up to three augmentations for each ability, that affect what bonuses you can get for upgrading.
After each match your experience will rise, and if you level up you will unlock either a new character or augmentation.
Unfortunately with this system of getting characters, I didn't feel like I had a choice of what characters I wanted to have. In other games like this, you can buy any character you want with the in game money, and bypass the ones you don't. I just feel like I don't have any control of what I'm getting, and when I did get the character I wanted I didn't want to play as the other ones.
I like the graphics, as you can see they look like a really good Saturday morning cartoon.
The music is good, I think you just don't notice it all the time with all the explosions, and other sound effects that you hear.
All in all I like Awesomenauts, and my only complaints with it aren't even part of the real game. I going to be giving Awesomenauts eight out of ten stars it is an "Awesome" game. Get it because it's awesome? Never mind.
Have fun.
