A tale for the ages; fighting is only the half of it.

Diesel Legacy offers all sorts of character types including Brawlers, Rushdown, Zoners, Grapplers, and Trap to keep players on their toes. The developer promises “an additional unique twist for everyone” on the roster. The Steam page also says that we’ll be able “seamlessly bob-and-weave into the foreground and background,” letting us “use the extra dimension to outmaneuver, outrun, and outplay [our] enemies.” It sounds like a fascinating concept. There will be a parry and burst system to master as well.

Rollback is Coming

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is touting a new form of rollback netcode called RealMatch. The developer says on the Steam page that it “stabilizes and improves gameplay in all the roughest online conditions– including transcontinental connections, high latency, and Wi-Fi, to keep your game running like you were all playing in the same room.” Hopefully, that is the case as a bad online connection, even withrollback netcode, with games likeStreet Fighter 6andMultiVersuscan still be rough.

The game takes place in an industrial renaissance city called the Iron City, which looks magnificent from the outside looking in, but within its walls, there are inhuman conditions that its citizens must encounter each and every day. The game will have stories for each playable fighter with both single-player and couch/online functionality.
