Awesomenauts is Out!

Available today to download from Sony Entertainment Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade, 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.

Combining the gameplay of classic 2D-platforming titles with that of modern, fast-paced MOBA-games, Awesomenauts allows up to six players to battle against one-another across multiple alien worlds. Featuring a playable roster of six unique heroes, Awesomenauts brings ferocious team play and angry, lightsaber-wielding aliens together.

Awesomenauts is available now on PSN ($9,99) and XBLA (800MSP).
