Awesomenauts – PC

Multiplayer online battle arena, or MOBA, is a genre of games that are well known for their intimidating learning curve and dense knowledge-base requirements on the PC. They’re about as friendly to novices as an algebra problem is to a first grader. That’s not the case with Awesomenauts, a console-based 2D MOBA that serves as an excellent introduction to the genre for the uninitiated and is a fun spin on familiar tropes for MOBA veterans. It’s also got a French chameleon with a robo-laser sword for an arm, which ranks pretty high on the awesome scale.
