Awesomenauts released all the way back in the ancient times of 2012, and as with most other multiplayer games it slowly started losing its playerbase to newer and shinier games. However, in an effort to combat this decay and bring some fresh life into Awesomenauts the developers have just made it free-to-play on Steam! Simply head over to the Awesomenauts store page, click the download button, and you'll be playing in no time.

Much like the vast majority of free-to-play games Awesomenauts gives you access to all of the game modes and maps, but you will need to purchase each hero individually with either real money or in-game currency. If you don't care about such free-to-play nonsense and just want the complete game, you can also buy the "All Nauts Pack" for €25 which, as the name itself implies, gives you access to all of the Awesomenauts straight off the bat.

For those of you that have no idea what Awesomenauts is even all about, allow me to send you off by sharing the recently posted free-to-play launch trailer. Its fairly short, but it should at least give you an idea of just what kind of game you're getting yourself into. Enjoy!
