    Anyone playing this little overlooked gem? If yes, I'm offering to partner up. Find me on steam by the same name as here.

    2D side-scrolling MOBA.

    Not even close. It's not a strategy game. It plays like a platform shooter.

    Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.

    I really fucking loathe that definition, but it's what's commonly used. Dotalike, while not perfect itself, is still orders of magnitude better than fucking MOBA.

    Get with t3h lingo, consolegamer! And, yes, there's less strategy than something like DOTA or LoL but it's still entertaining for a few hours.

    Fun game. Haven't put too many hours into it, but I suppose that's why the novelty hasn't worn off yet. Fun to play single player if you're opposed to playing with other people. There's only skins as DLC so no actual content is lost to microtransactions.

    I heard a joke that its called MOBA because Riot doesnt like being reminded that they didnt invent the game.

    I had some good fun with split screen multiplayer. One of the few good games to offer that on PC.

    Well, you'll need approximately $400,-, here's the list:
    6 copies of awesomenauts
    1 low-spec computer to play a second instance of the game.
    Now just challenge yourself online in a 3v3 match and you win every match.

    There's no pay-to-win DLC or heroes. All the stuff, like DOTA2, is purely cosmetic.
