Our take on Diesel Punch
Rather than framing the mission around a conventional military unit, the game puts a former engineer with an implanted diesel engine at its center. Its combat mixes a huge wrench with jumps, explosive mines, and an energy shot.
What is Diesel Punch?
Diesel Punch is a third-person slasher set in an alternate-history war between two totalitarian states.
Riotia is losing ground to enemy diesel engines, so its ruling party sends Eva on a mission to collect enemy technology. Eva, a former engineer with a diesel engine implanted in her back, fights robots with a huge wrench, combat abilities, jumps, exploding mines, and an energy shot. Story sections between battles introduce characters and the setting. Levels contain secrets and modules that can improve performance, while Eva’s skills progress over time. The game also features destructible enemies and environmental objects, alongside characters described as having contrasting personalities.
