Immersive Dieselpunk World
The game unfolds in the bustling metropolis of New Libertis, also known as The Iron City. This city is a reflection of the dieselpunk genre and a testament to the technological prowess of FALCORP Industries. As the corporation aims to elevate humanity, the city’s working class is left behind, prompting a battle for the fate of the future.
A New Approach to Combat
Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age redefines the traditional fighting genre formula, placing 2v2 local and online co-op matches at the heart of the action. With 10 playable characters at launch (four available in the open beta), each offering distinctive attacks and adding depth to team dynamics and matchups, the game ensures rich and diverse gameplay.
The three-lane system places strategy at the forefront of every match. Players must decide whether to swap lanes for surprise attacks, retreat to reassess the situation, or support their partner. Even defeated fighters can contribute to the battle, helping to parry attacks for their teammates from beyond the grave.
Seamless Online Matches and Extensive Training
Diesel Legacy utilizes Modus Studios’ RealMatch rollback netcode, ensuring smooth online matches without missing a punch. Additionally, the game offers comprehensive training and story modes, allowing players to face off against AI opponents to refine their skills.
Whether players are newcomers to the genre looking to grasp the basics, or veterans interested in analyzing hitboxes and frame data of the game’s crisp 60fps animations, Diesel Legacy caters to all skill levels. Its advanced replay system also allows players to rewatch matches and jump back into the action to rectify previous mistakes.
