Just started messing around with it and it seems pretty good so far. Trying to figure out builds and build orders since I don't have much experience with games like this. Anyone have some advice?

I'll just leave this here...

You're going to be so mad when you lose your first match.

I played two more and won both, and now it says my win rate is 75% =/ That made me more mad! >=o Dropped down to like 14th or something. Boo.

I like how the guy that's 13th on the leaderboard has played one game and lost it.

Isn't this the game that none of us will be playing for a while? Or should I have read more of that news story than just the headline?

#8 Posted by AmatureIdiot (754 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

I'm playing this, seems pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure the headline was a 100% accurate summary of the article. I'm confused now, too.

It was updated to reflect that the devs confirmed it was still releasing on time

I messed around with it last night, it was a lot of fun, mostly played random and got Clunk and the Rogue one (Leon?) its a little wierd to be playing a moba in 2D but i did enjoy it il definitely play more, an awesome PSN+ bonus.

This makes sense.

#13 Posted by GoofyGoober (936 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

Its free for PS Plus users so I guess I should check it out.

#14 Edited by SpunkyHePanda (1318 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

This game's cool! Definitely seems like one of the more accessible MOBA-ish games out there. My K/D ratio isn't completely embarrassing. And the 90s-cartoon theme song intro is pretty great.

#15 Edited by DrFlapjack (202 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

At first I thought it was one of those games that came out on a Friday since it wasn't part of XBLA's "Next", but then realized it was only Wednesday. I'd get more sleep if there wasn't so much content! I'm downloading the trial now to check it out.

Edit: Played a little and it's fun for a bit, however a bit slow-paced for my taste.

#16 Posted by TechHits (1169 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

I've been playing it and really liking it, aside from the lack of assists. My psn is Joiner0636 add me if you want to play.

#17 Posted by Sackmanjones (4186 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

It was free on psn plus so that automatically makes it incredible

#18 Posted by ZenaxPure (2568 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

I played 3 games last night, lost all 3. Was a pretty frustrating experience to be honest, my team sort of stumbled around not doing anything. We could not push a single turret because they were always just turtled up at our own turrets instead of pushing forward.

That said, I like the actual game itself but due to my burning hatred of the PS3 analog sticks I am not entirely sure how much more I will play unless I can adapt, the lack of D-pad controls for movement is just stupid - no one needs those silly team commands.

#19 Posted by CaLe (2503 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

Even though I have PS+, I don't wanna play this (or anything really) on my PS3.. Dunno why I paid for plus. I played the demo on the 360 and enjoyed it but not enough to outright buy it.

#20 Edited by aXone (53 posts) - 1 year, 23 days ago

i´m playing right now. it´s great. a little bit overwhelming in the beginning

edit : last 2 games disconnected / connection error , i´m done for today. could be a failure on my side though

#21 Posted by Meallus (7 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Played the trial on XBL today and bought it after my second online match. It's a lot of fun, I just hope the online community lasts. It also seems like playing with friends would be even more fun, working together to time pushes etc

#22 Posted by Hyperfludd (366 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Yep, I'm addicted to it. I stick with the tank robot mostly.

#23 Edited by beard_of_zeus (1324 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Yup, enjoying it immensely, especially for free! Just won a couple more matches as Clunk (the robot) tonight. Been going back and forth between him and Leon as my favorites. The last game I played, the teams were pretty well matched, which made it particularly exciting. The one game I've lost so far, the rest of my team didn't really seem to know what they were doing - it can make a big difference, it seems.
 
I think up I'm to level 7 now, so still a lot more left to unlock. Will definitely keep playing it in between sessions of the Witcher 2 :)

#24 Posted by GorillaMoPena (744 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Feel like the medic one is a bit broken.

I just won a bunch of games in a row by marching forward with a bots and a teammate, putting a turret heal field by the turret. Repeating to victory

So if the studio has shuttered, then how will new content be released? Three maps is already getting really old

#28 Posted by kindx (2241 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I don't have Xbox Live Gold right now (not much of a reason when Trials lets me DL maps and see Ghosts without it) but was curious about this title. It looks like a lot of fun, I am really into the MOBA genre, so I was wondering if anyone could fill me in if the Online is any better than the SP the demo let me play. I wasn't impressed with the lackluster style the computers went at me, it felt stale. Does the online reflect a more competitive scene, or does it reflect mostly what the SP demo gave me?

The publisher is bankrupt, not the studio.

Ah ok.

#31 Posted by Soap (3362 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

It's just a 2D Dota clone, like 100% identical except that it takes place on a 2D plane. :/

#32 Posted by Moody_yeti (369 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Yeah played alot of games of it last night it is quite good. PSN is Time-racoon if anyone wants a game

#33 Posted by trindermon (37 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

bought it for the 360 lastnight only 400 people on the leaderboard :-( thats a real shame because i like the game alot.

#34 Posted by ErgoMeSmart (31 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Got this on 360 and am enjoying myself greatly. Shame, as the above poster points out, that hardly anyone has actually bought it on the 360.

#35 Posted by Vivek (484 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Yep on PSN: VReanimator send me a msg with Awesomenautes in the title if you want to team up and play with mics.

#36 Posted by and333 (823 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I'm playing currently on 360, this game is so rad, best MOBA i've played simple yet so complex and fun! last night I played about 15 matches won 10 cause people just couldn't handle the Voltar healing everything!

#37 Posted by TurboMan (5505 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

PSN: TurboMan ... might start getting together a clan if the game becomes popular. I'm really having a fun time with the game. I mainly play as Froggy G but all the characters are great.

#38 Posted by auburok (26 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Having a blast with it. Been playing it for hours on end on Xbox 360. Having trouble finding people that don't rage quit, though.

You just need a power attack combo like Froggy G's Dash/Spin on the healer, or just keep everyone away with the cyber bull.

#40 Posted by flomby (51 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I'm enjoying this title quite thoroughly, playing on psn, my id is flomby, feel free to add me and we can pwn some fools.

#41 Posted by crazyleaves (583 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

PSN: crazyleaves. Really digging it but it would be fun to play with duders instead of leave-ers.

Ryan is playing this right now.

#44 Posted by ateatree (53 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

@Xeiphyer: Between being disconnected on a 16/0 game and being placed in a game where the enemy was already in our base, I guess I shouldn't have expected to keep a great win ratio either. It claims I've won 1 of 3 (I've played 4 games: won 2, 'disconnected' from one right before winning, and lost that one where the game was already over (still went 3-0, though))

Feel free to add me on PSN (ateatree) if you want to play sometime.

#45 Edited by Addfwyn (1806 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I like it, minus some assorted connection errors (and balance issues).

The healer is gross. Just run him, Clunk, and Lonestar. Was with a team last night that was pushing out wins in about 3 minutes. One push all the way to their base and they couldn't do much to stop it. The healer is just that good. Even if they stop your early game pushes of doom, his damage output (with drones) is some of the highest later on. I could basically kill anyone just by standing near them, so even Leon jumping me meant nothing.

#46 Posted by joshthebear (2343 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I picked it on 360 so you want to add me to play my GT is Joshthebear.

I'm definitely digging it but the balance seems to be off. Any team with a great healer who's leveled can run roughshod through the opposing team with ease.

#47 Edited by SMTDante89 (2164 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Been playing it on the PS3, this is my first MOBA type of game. I'm really enjoying it so far. If you want to add me, my id is PersonaDante, but with finals this coming week, I might not be online that much, but I'll try to play a few games every now and then throughout the week.

I've mainly been using Lonestar myself, and using him in more of a support role (using the Bull to knock enemies away from turrets and throwing dynamite to destroy enemy creeps and damaging enemies) The healer is pretty cool too.

#48 Edited by jozzy (2033 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Bought it last night because I really liked the quick look, and played it way too long into the night. I am very bad at it but slowly improving, I really enjoy it so far. Only unlocked the tank dude, but have been only playing the frog which seems to fit my playstyle. Which one do you guys like?

#49 Posted by dopplerganger (78 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I'm playing on 360 (gamertag: emertsch). Fuck that alien. I was taking down turrets by myself with two creeps. He is too powerful indeed.

Yuri so far. Been playing random for the bonus though.
