What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. It has been discounted 35 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, TowerFall Ascension ($14.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats PixelJunk™ Nom Nom Galaxy ($9.99, scores 43).
Of the 498 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 923 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
What was once a good 2D side scrolling PvP platformer. - PvP matches - Unfortunately its not very active and hard to find players these days. - Lack of players can be made up for with using bots, but that's a little laborious. - Kill to collect for upgrades. - Destroy the enemy turrets before they do yours. - The MOBA aspects are great. - Nice designs and skins. - Lots of heroes to choose from with there own unique...
Had a lot of fun with this game back in 2023 and before, would really like it to come back. Great MOBA for beginners.
The remains of what was once a wonderful game. Core memories were formed playing this niche title, but the game hasn't been touched in any real capacity in several years. To top it off, what little remains of the community is exceedingly toxic and unwelcoming to newer players, actively ruining what little there is left to experience. It saddens me to say that the game is well and truly dead.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Awesomenauts scores 66/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/204300/awesomenautsThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 11, price as of Sep 24.
