So Awesomenauts is FINALLY going F2P after almost 5 years.
Does anyone else here still play it?
I've been sorta on-and-off with it for a few years, but I've been playing it again as of late and I think I'm getting back into it.
I guess not.
Maybe I'll try again when they transition (it's on the 24th).
I play it every other day with friends. It's still pretty fun once in awhile, also really the only moba of its kind as far as I know.

Have they done something about the rampant cheating?
If anyone who's never tried the game is interested, I can also send you a key, since I have a spare.
If you redeem it before the 24th, you get all the vanilla characters free (otherwise you'll have to grind them a-la f2p dictates).

Who do you main, anon?
Lately I've been learning how to play Sentry. All these years and only now am I learning how to use his beacon aggressively instead of just plopping it in bushes and fucking off.
>>376738174
I'm not sure.
I've never really come across cheaters in the first place though.
I put around 600+ hours into it. I play it on and off now. I doubt I'll ever really get back into it at this point, but its nice to pop in and see what they did every now and then.
What will old paying players get?
Some kind of exclusive skins? Or maybe get all characters unlocked?
I'd go back to play it again if I didn't have to play a billion games to unlock almost any characters.

I will try it again when it goes F2P but they would have been smarter to just make a sequel. Do you see how drastically they changed the game from before this update?
Now the game's plagued by old reviews and by the fact that it's old news.

The old players get the characters they already had unlocked, and if you bought Starstorm and Overdrive, you get all of the future characters. Also some legacy crap I can't remember for old players too.
>>376738460
Nothing really special.
>Base Game: All vanilla characters free
>either DLC: All those characters free too
>both DLCs: Get upgraded to all-nauts pack - All characters past and future free forever
The all-nauts pack also comes with a Lonestar skin.
There's also some "medals", but they're just cosmetic shit for your profile.
The DLCs are like 40% off right now too.
>>376738283
I main Lonestar, Swiggins and currently learning Ix. Ix is pretty good if you can manage any sort of coordination going.
>>376739061
I won't buy anything but the only DLC that appears here is a soundtrack dlc
>>376739098
>swiggins
I don't see him too often, but jesus christ is he annoying in gank comps.
The second that anchor hits you the rest of his team just collapses on you.
Guess that's what he's made for though.
>>376739442
You've gotta search for them on the Steam store.
>>376739608
That's... weird.
But yeah, unless I get all the legacy characters unlocked I'm probably not touching it.
>>376739761
You do!
Sorry, I might've worded it poorly.
In other words, if you own the base game + both DLC's BEFORE the 24th of May, you'll have all characters past and future free forever.
Otherwise, you'll just have the base game's characters unlocked (+ the ones for whichever DLC you own, if you do).

I might try it again when it goes f2p then, I wasn't a big fan of it when I bought, I was expecting more of the game to be fair and the controls were a bit clunky, and I didn't really like any of the characters I had unlocked.
>>376738283
I've tried it. Loved the soundtrack and the phone robot. Gib key. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198023789159/
>>376742072
You've already got it in your library though.
By key I meant key for the base game.
>Awesomenauts
I still hate how most characters are assassins that can instantly obliterate any enemy and the ones that aren't are almost pure garbage.
>>376742210
oh, welp I just dropped 10 bucks for both DLCs.
Is that all I got to worry about for the all-nauts upgrade?
>>376739061
is overdrive worth it?
>>376742841
Yepyep. You're good chief.
>>376743057
Well it depends on how much the characters interest you.
I don't really like Chucho. But Yoolip is okay and I find LUX pretty fun.
Plus you could always just buy it so you're upgraded to the all 'nauts pack. But that's more of an investment than anything.
