Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age

This game is a underrated gem I see that the devs are making an avatar fighting game now I hope they bring everything great from this game to that one

1 - Tem que decidir se o seu jogo vai ser um jogo de luta 2D, beat 'em up ou 8 eixos, nada pra fazer um frankenstein e falar que isso é inovação (pelo menos no bom sentido). 2 - O preço esta alto pra um jogo indie. Tem outros fighting games com uma base de jogadores maior com um preço menor. 3 - A maioria das lutas vai ser voce correr para um dos cantos e esperar o adversario. Os personagens são completamente desequilibrados que você só vai ganhar se o cara for muito ruim. Nem buff ajudaria, é caso para rework. 4 - Muito dificil achar partida, não sei se é porque não tem ninguém jogando ou o matchmaking é zuado (ou os 2). Compre somente se tiver em promoção, e não faça a besteira que eu fiz em pagar o preço cheio.

Do you remember the early Fatal Fury games that had that lane change thingie? It was bad, wasn't it? Guess what, this anime styled fighting game brings that back and it can't be good. The special attack commands are awful to execute, most of them require more than one button push and sometimes they use unrelated buttons like X+B or A+Y after the directions code to perform regular special attacks which is really funny and reminds a lot of the early Fatal Fury installments and its complicated commands. You can tell Fatal Fury was the main inspiration for this game. To add some insult to the injury, most fights are 2v2 matches with a computer controlled ally against two enemies, not to mention that your ally plays poorly as the enemies AI is much better... What were they thinking when they came up with this game idea? Good grief, what's going on with game devs these days...

Sucks that literally no one plays this. It's mechanically sound, it's innovative as hell, all the animation is all hand-drawn and of superior quality, It even has silky-smooth ROLLBACK NETCODE and a DEMO. You couldn't ask for a better indie fighting game these days. Could have been a real winner. Still not too late for it to be one. Throw Mike Z a bone, lord knows he needs it after the hand he's been dealt.

Ein gutes Spiel..besonders wenn man es während nem Sale kaufte. ich hab meinen Spaß mit den 10 spielbaren Charakteren im Story Mode. Online gar nicht erst versucht, und ich spiels eher sehr "casually" wie man heutzutage sagt. Grafik ist nice, die Musik gut wenn auch mitunter fast so langweilig wie in modernen Mortal Kombat oder den Injustice Spielen. Die Idee einen Gameplay Hybriden aus 2D Fighting & Beat em Up zu machen ist cool, das Setting und die Charaktere fast schon einzigartig..doch richtige Knaller fehlen noch..sind halt eher sterotypen was die Fighter angeht und sowas wie nen Hazama, Bryan Fury oder Angel (KOF) sucht man vergebens was das Charisma angeht. Würd ne gute 7,5 von 10 in nem Review geben.

game is neat it's just unfortunate it had to get shot out back of a wendy's

This game is great, it really is. If you like skull girls, you'll like this game too. It has a unique take on the fighting genre and has very nice hand drawn animation. BUT... the player base is small I would assume considering the fact that It takes so long to find a match. SO.. please play this game, It deserves some love.

(: placeholder for now. Game looks and sounds great. Will update the more I play.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is an ambitious and stylish reinvention of the traditional fighting game, developed by Maximum Entertainment and published by Gameplay Group International. Rather than relying on the familiar one-on-one formula, it introduces a fully cooperative 2v2 structure played across three parallel lanes, creating a layered battlefield that feels both chaotic and strategic. It stands out immediately thanks to its dieselpunk world—an industrial metropolis powered by heavy machinery, neon grit, and technological decay—and its cast of larger-than-life combatants. From the moment a match begins, the game makes it clear that it wants to push the genre into new territory. What defines Diesel Legacy mechanically is its three-lane combat system. Instead of a flat stage, battles unfold across three distinct planes, and players constantly shift between them to dodge attacks, set up combos, protect their partner, or outmaneuver opponents. This design transforms positioning into a dynamic, multi-layered puzzle. Lane switching becomes as important as blocking or spacing, and team synergy matters far more than in most fighting games. Coordinating cross-lane assaults, interrupting threats aimed at your partner, or performing tandem setups creates a sense of cooperative fluidity that feels genuinely refreshing. Even long-time fighting game veterans may need time to adjust, yet the payoff is a system that feels fast, flexible, and full of emergent strategy. The roster further elevates the experience. Each character embodies the dieselpunk aesthetic with exaggerated silhouettes, mechanical enhancements, or thematic quirks rooted in the lore of New Libertis. The designs feel hand-drawn and expressive, with smooth animation that makes attacks visually satisfying and easy to read despite the inherent intensity of four characters sharing the screen. The diversity of the lineup ensures that each fighter plays differently: some specialize in lane control, others in rushdown pressure, others in deceptive movement or mid-range zoning. The game succeeds in giving every fighter a distinct identity that extends beyond simple archetypes, offering plenty of room for experimentation and mastery. The presentation of Diesel Legacy is one of its greatest strengths. The setting of New Libertis is immediately captivating—a dieselpunk industrial empire full of towering machinery, smog-filled skylines, and pulsing neon. Stages combine detailed environmental storytelling with a sense of constant motion, capturing the gritty energy of a city on the brink. The music leans into energetic industrial rhythms and heavy percussion, mirroring the weight and impact of each strike. From menus to cutscenes, the aesthetic cohesion adds a layer of immersion that many fighting games struggle to achieve, grounding the larger-than-life battles in a world with personality and history. Beyond competitive play, the game offers a surprisingly robust single-player experience. Each character has a dedicated story campaign that fleshes out the world of New Libertis, introducing factions, motivations, and conspiracies centered around the rise of mega-corporations and the mysterious Babel Tower. While the storytelling isn’t revolutionary, the production values—animated sequences, sharp character art, and unique battles—help give context to the roster. A generous suite of training tools, including frame data displays and hitbox visualization, supports both newcomers and aspiring experts, and rollback netcode ensures smooth matches online. Despite its innovation, Diesel Legacy is not without weaknesses. The complexity of reading four fighters across three lanes can be overwhelming, especially during heated exchanges where projectiles, specials, and movement overlap. This visual density sometimes makes it hard to track what’s happening, especially for newer players. Balance issues also emerge as the meta develops, with certain characters or abilities feeling disproportionately strong compared to others. Although balance patches can address this over time, early impressions suggest that some tuning is needed to keep competitive play fair and diverse. The learning curve, while rewarding, may be steeper than expected for players used to traditional 1v1 fighters. Even with these shortcomings, Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age stands as one of the most inventive fighting games of its era. Its cooperative structure, multi-lane mechanics, and distinctive dieselpunk world give it a unique identity that helps it stand apart in a crowded genre. It blends accessibility and depth, spectacle and strategy, experimentation and familiarity. For those tired of formulaic fighters or eager for a fresh take on team-based combat, Diesel Legacy offers an exciting and stylish alternative. It may require patience to master, but the payoff is a fighting experience that feels vibrant, modern, and full of potential. Rating: 8/10

played the demo enjoyed it... brought the game to wait over an hour for an online vs and still nothing.... seems like despite mostly good reviews no one else is playing it online even with crossplay on :( tempting to ask for a refund and buy something where I can get a game/lobby
