Awesomenauts are GO
Hamburg, May 01 in the year of our Lord 2012 –
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 Racers 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).
