Available later today in the US to download from Sony Entertainment Network, with the EU PSN version and the worldwide release on Xbox LIVE Arcade following tomorrow, Awesomenauts is a side scrolling multiplayer online battle arena game. The game mixes 80’s cartoon graphics and platforming gameplay with a deep and modern upgrade system.
Pick one of the six Awesome characters and join a team of 3 Awesomenauts to duke it out on the online battlefields. Defeat droids, turrets, other players and finally the enemy base to win! The choice of characters ranges from a hardy cowboy that solves everything with dynamite, a mysterious floating brain that can heal allies, a spacefrog that can use dazzling breakdance moves to other, even crazier heroes. And if you need help you can just have your friends join you online, or on your couch using splitscreen.
“We are proud to be able to release Awesomenauts today on PSN in the US with the European PSN version and the worldwide release on XBLA following tomorrow,” said Frank Brügmann, CEO dtp entertainment AG. “Our expertise of successfully launching games for these platforms has been built up with the release of our previous critically acclaimed games TNT Racer s as well as Crazy Machines Elements. The release of Awesomenauts also shows that we already are in the process to overcome the obstacles and continue on our path to provide some of the best games out there to the players.”
“We’ve been looking forward to this day for 3 years,” said Jasper Koning, Game Designer at Ronimo Games, “The day that we can finally head online and play our game against other players instead of bots! I’ll see you on the battlefield!” (PS: Jasper’s Gamertag is nog1potje).
