The year is 3587, conflict spans the stars. Huge robot armies are locked in an enduring stalemate.  At the centre is a team of elite mercenaries fighting for the spoils of war: The Awesomenauts.  And that folks is the story around Ronimo Games and their upcoming XBLA title, Awesomenauts.  Will it be awesome?  Oh boy can’t you just picture all the puns coming for this one?

Combining the gameplay of classic 2D-platformering titles with that of modern, fast-paced MOBA-games, Awesomenauts allows up to six players to battle against one-another across multiple alien worlds. Featuring a playable roster of unique heroes, Awesomenauts brings ferocious team play and angry, lightsaber-wielding aliens together.

Awesomenauts is inspired by classic, Saturday-morning cartoons from the 80′s, and features a soundtrack that is sure to stick in your head for days.  Ronimo introduced a new character spotlight the other day.  Ladies say hello to Clunk.  His abilities include a Jet Boost, Self-Destruct, Bit and Missile.  Want to know more?

Clunk’s Abilities:

Jet Boost

Similar to white male humans, giant combat robots can’t jump. To compensate, Clunk was outfitted with a powerful jet engine that lets him fly for short distances. 

Self-Destruct

Clunk was designed to be a suicide attacker, later fitted with armor powerful enough to survive his own explosion. Clunk now happily takes a bit of damage to blow away his enemies. 

Bite

Being a giant robot requires a lot of energy. Luckily, Clunk has a powerful set of metal jaws that allow him to take a bite out of almost everything. His iron stomach takes whatever comes in, and quickly converts it to raw health.

Missile

Slow-loading but very powerful: Clunks’ missiles are very useful to get rid of obstructions when he just wants to blow up in someone’s face. 

Items: 

Medical Pump

Add health to your maximum health for each successful bite. This health is removed upon death.

Clean up with surgical precision. 

Blueprints Container

Reduces time you have to wait upon death.
