Awesomenauts All Nauts Pack (DLC)

Awesomenauts is a 2D side-scrolling MOBA where two squads of three fight to smash each other's solar core in matches that feel closer to a cartoon brawler than a traditional top-down lane game. Think jetpack-riding space monkeys, robot tanks with self-destruct abilities, and chameleons swinging laser swords, all dropping into compact, multi-level maps where droid minions push lanes and turrets punish anyone reckless enough to charge in alone. It is legitimately one of the more approachable entries in the MOBA genre, and the All Nauts Pack DLC is the shortcut that strips away the one thing that historically annoyed new players the most: the locked roster. The base game went free-to-play in 2017, which is exactly when this pack launched alongside it. In the free-to-play model, characters rotate on a weekly basis unless you own them outright. The All Nauts Pack skips that entirely. It unlocks the full roster immediately, grants access to every future character at launch, and hands you the Golden Lonestar skin for Sheriff Lonestar plus a Collector emblem and portrait for your profile. It is the "I am here to play, not to grind" option. Note that the official Awesomenauts wiki confirms the pack is no longer sold through the in-game Armory, so availability through third-party key resellers is the realistic way to grab it now. As for the game itself, a few things are worth knowing before you commit. Awesomenauts rewards teamwork heavily. Kills earn you solar, solar buys per-match upgrades, and building the right loadout for your chosen Naut goes a long way to deciding who wins. Characters blur traditional MOBA roles, so Clunk the robot can be specced as a health-stealing bite-machine or a glass-cannon self-destruct bomber, and that kind of flexibility keeps matches interesting. The Co-op vs. Bots mode, added in the 4.0 update, is a genuinely useful on-ramp for anyone who wants to try a new Naut before taking them online. The game also supports local splitscreen for up to three players, which is a rare and welcome feature in the genre. For a couch session? Surprisingly solid. The honest caveats: Awesomenauts has a smaller active community than it did at its peak, and matchmaking wait times can be noticeable depending on your region and time of day. The game has not received major updates in some time. If you are looking for the freshest competitive MOBA with a thriving ranked scene, this is not it. But if you want a breezy, pick-up-and-play 3v3 brawler with bags of personality, a roster full of genuinely different playstyles, and a co-op bot mode to mess around in with friends, Awesomenauts holds up better than you might expect for a game this age. Grabbing the All Nauts Pack means you walk in with the full toybox, which is absolutely the way to experience it.
