dtp and Ronimo games have announced Clunk a new character in their game, Awesomenauts. The story description is rather hilarious, which you can check out below.

Description: Originally created as part of a robot army destined to combat an immensenly powerful super villain, Clunk was always meant to unleash his full rage in the line of duty. Unfortunately, when the super villain suddenly died of a bacterial infection, Clunk found himself without a job. Trying to make a living in a harsh economy, Clunk was refitted to do standard house-keeping work. Finding himself at odds between his true identity as a robotic killing machine and his new line of work, Clunk repeatedly blew his aggression inhibitors while doing the dishes, or cleaning bathrooms.

Realising that a career as a housekeeper was not meant for him, Clunk joined the Awesomenauts. Now he roams the galaxy doing the only thing that comes natural to him: breaking things. Finding true serenity within the chaos of battle and comfort in the destruction of opposing armies, Clunk has finally gotten in touch with his true self.

A new character for Awesomenauts has been revealed. He goes by the name of Sheriff Lonestar, and “fights as a mercenary in the robot wars, combining his awesome cowboy-powers with high tech weaponry to earn some solar to spend on whisky and cigars.”

His abilities, as specified by the developers, are given below:

Dynamite

Lonestar is a great fan of shooting things, but sometimes bullets just won’t cut it. So to make sure it stays down, Lonestar will chuck cigar-lit sticks of dynamite at his foes!

Bull

To keep himself sharp, Lonestar trains with powerful holo-Bulls that knock anyone away. New fangled portable holo-tech allows him to turn his training program on his enemies!

Shoot

Even though it’s a but modern for his tastes, Lonestar has shot his way out of many a tight situation using his deadly and accurate space blaster!

Double Jump

Using the simple thrusters he integrated into his classic cowboy boots, Lonestar can do an extra jump in mid-air. Handy for traversing mountains of wrangled Bovinions!

Some of Lonestar’s purchasable items:

Mister TNT

Increases the explosion size of dynamite.

“Free black van included.”

Techno Viking Helmet

Makes hyper bull deal damage.

“This helmet is property of chief Red Beard.”

Cheetag Bullets

Increase rate of fire of blaster.

“No Zurians were harmed during the testing other than the ones that were.”

Ready for battle.

The controls are right off the bat not very flowing and hard to get used to, but then again you realize that the game is an RPG and things can get get kind of crazy with controls, which is why creating one on a console requires a good amount of time put in to making them flow right.  A(Xbox) and X(PS3) is the action button as well as attack button which can get annoying.  You can assign different quick tab abilities like powers and blocks to the d-pad as well the the B/Circle button.

Venetica is not entirely bad, because the story although sometimes contradicting is actual pretty good.  You play an orphaned woman named Scarlett with no family yet, you find you have a half brother which was a little confusing when you find out you are Deaths daughter.  Your first primary goal is to find the Moonblade forged by metal not of this world.  As the story continues, there are three different endings that are not simply chosen.  Throughout the game you will make many moral decisions that will lead to different outcomes.  As Deaths daughter you don’t always die, as if you have enough lives you are revived after losing your health.  The game can take 25 to 60 hours to beat depending on how many quests you take on.

As far as the RPG element, you can upgrade weapons, combine items among other typical RPG actions.  You can sell and trade as there is a money system.  Scarlett can eventually have access to 45 skills that she can put points in to as she gains them, such as physical skills and mental skills one of them being able to age her enemies, slowing them down in combat. There are many quests in the game and not all of them are mandatory to complete Venetica.  Some of them are fun and some of them are tedious as well as extremely annoying.  This can sometimes be due to the map navigation.  The map at times is so inaccurate it proves useless.  Not to mention that the actual maps/level design are just strange and confusing the way they are set up, but I don’t know maybe that was meant to add more of a realism sense.

Nothing’s too much for Death’s daughter to handle.

This game is glitchy and full of bugs.  I was inside walls, unable to climb down ladders, stuck in random spots, seeing random items float in mid air.  Thankfully, I was able to complete the game though with out a game ruining bug.  Venetica however is not all that bad, especially if you can get past the graphics which although not quite up to par with other games, the scenery is nice to see at time being placed in Venice, but for instance don’t come anywhere near the Venice seen in Assassin’s Creed II.  As Scarlett is the only hope to stop Death himself in the game, it makes for a descent action RPG.  That is of course if you can get past the cons mentioned above.  If you are the type of gamer that only plays the Fable series and maybe one other title you might want to check this out otherwise you should pass on this one as your time could be spent playing something better.
