Game modes
Will Awesomenauts feature online multiplayer? ^
Yes, Awesomenauts will have extensive online multiplayer options. You can enter the matchmaking system alone and play online matches with up to five other players, or team up with up to two friends locally or via the internet to enter the battlefield as a team.
Will I be able to play a match against my friends? ^
Yes, Awesomenauts will allow you to play Private Matches, which allow you to invite up to five friends to play full 3-on-3 online matches.
Can I join an online match that is already in progress? ^
Awesomenauts features an advanced drop-in / drop-out system for online matches, which means you can join a match that is already in progress, and replace one of the AI- controlled characters that is currently fighting in the game. When you join a match that is already underway, you will receive additional currency to make sure you are able to hold your own against players who have already been in field for longer than you.
When a player leaves a match in progress, that player will be replaced by an AI-controlled character, while the matchmaking system searches for new players to join your current game.
Will I have to wait in a matchmaking lobby until I have gathered enough players to start a full game?^
No, you don't. Waiting is no fun, and we understand you would much rather play the actual game than spend a couple of minutes while you stare at a “Waiting for additional players” screen. Instead of forcing you to wait, if no suitable match can be found, you will automatically start a new match with five AI-controlled characters, while the matchmaker continues to search for additional players. Players who join the match will replace one of the AI-controlled characters.
Will I be able to play against AI-controlled opponents, to hone my skills? ^
A practice mode that allows you to play against AI-controlled characters is available, and will allow you to try out new characters or tactics.
Gameplay
MOBA? What's that? ^
“MOBA” is an acronym that stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. The game pits you and your allies against an enemy team, and you must battle against this team to destroy their base, while preventing them from destroying yours. Though the game features a lot of player vs. player combat, in the end, it is all about the objective... and having fun, obviously.
How many playable characters will there be in Awesomenauts? ^
Awesomenauts will feature six unique characters at launch, with more characters scheduled to be added to the roster in the months following launch. Find out more about each individual character by visiting their character spotlight page!
Can these characters be upgraded? ^
Yes, each character will have a vast array of various upgrades available to them, allowing you to upgrade each character to suit your preferred playing style.
Will each character have a dedicated role in the game? ^
Not really. While some characters are obviously more suited to certain roles than others, you're never entirely stuck to a particular role with one single character. Every character has at least some abilities or upgrades that allow it to take an offensive role, improve its defensive capabilities, or support their team.
How many different levels will be available in the game? ^
At this time, we have not made any statements regarding the number of levels that will be featured in the game, though we'll shed some light on them when the time is right.
