Considering Purchasing

Is this game worth it?
I am thinking of purchasing this game and wonders what the existing owners think of the game? It seems appealing but i want a game that's worth its money. With hours at end of game play.
Thanks!
Also is there anything i should be aware of?

At 10€ I think the game definetly worth, I have had my moneys worth and more already without a doubt, and I am not done by far. I am thinking you might be able to burn out onit quickly if you play a lot. I love it though. It's very fun, has pretty good community, and it's a bit more relaxed than your regular mobas.

You should very much buy this game if you know what it's all about. Patches have been recently introduced that have fixed some game mechanics and some naut changes.

So basically.....you couldn't have come at a better tme!

Almost every character can gib you in a few seconds and they nerfed the only character that required you, as opponent, to have situational awareness and (if you don't have one of his 4 hardcounters) to work as a team as counter. The amount of skill required would be a lot higher if you actually had to chase people down with autoattacks, maybe even go infront of them to block them while jumping instead of just pressing q + e and kill everything.

But then again, this game very much caters to a more casual audience, so I doubt we would actually see this game go in any direction that required attention or coordination from the players.

I'm going to assume you are talking about Clunk, since he is the only person in the game who actually does a good amount of damage with his Q and E. Every other naut only has one damaging ability and the other focusing on utility(Unless we talk about lonestar who's Bull you need to change the loadout for and froggy G the fighter of the game, but doesn't he have one of the lowest hp pools in the game?). Even then, you need to get really close for Clunk to do any sort of damage and he's the slowest character in the game.

Any character that can instantly gib you has to really risk themselves in order to do so.

Game has issues - lots - and potential. Given that price may only decrease with time, and that issues - should - only be fixed, I'd say wait and buy later if the game has improved. Right now it's fun for a few games but I really don't see myself playing this on a regular basis.

Clunk, Lonestar, Froggy, Leon, Derpl and Coco have all nukes/combos that with upgrades deal atleast 80 damage, which is way more than half the hitpoints of any hero other than Clunk. Clunk and Froggy both deal way more than 150 damage with their combo. That's oneshot for anyone except, again, Clunk. That's only Yuri, who can solo towers without creeps and can stack mines on top of eachother, and Voltar, the healer, that are left who can't gib enemy nauts.

Leon can't combo, his damage relies on his AA.

Froggy G is a fighter who needs to be accurate with his abilities to get the kill. With a low health pool, once he uses his abilities he's screwed.

Lonestar can only have both abilities with damage if he choses the upgrades accordingly. Even then, I barely see anyone pulling off both hits in succesion since the bull just pushes people away anyway. I wouldn't expect people to stand around doing nothing after getting hit with dynamite to be hit with a bull afterwards.

Like I said before, Clunk is a exceptionally slow character who can't gib you unless you allow him to. Especially early game, where he doesn't have any upgrades to slow you or ensare you. If you were close to Clunk you were already commited to fighting him, so it's your fault if you come into contact with him. Very easy to move away from him unless you want to be a fool and try to take him on. More often than not you'll regret it, but that's the point. He's the tank of the game. Target someone else. Also if they're buying upgrades on damage they aren't focusing on survivability.

I don't know too much about Coco, but I do now that her energy ball is her primary source of damage. Its also one of the easiest abilities in the game to avoid. Simply move down or jump up for awhile and you'll be fine.

Nothing in this game is simply Q+E to win. I hope you realize that theres much more to it.
