Diesel Punch

About

Diesel Punch is a side scrolling platformer set in a gritty diesel punk world. You play as Eve a girl with a mechanical engine fused to her spine who treks across war torn terrain to salvage enemy tech. The game mixes tight platforming sections with occasional puzzle solving as you navigate crumbling factories and hazardous wastelands. Combat is minimal but punchy using Eve's engine to power short bursts of movement and attacks. The story unfolds through sparse dialogue and environmental storytelling showing a fractured society on the brink of collapse. The game’s aesthetic stands out with its rough edged art style blending industrial decay and steampunk flourishes. While the platforming can feel a bit floaty at times the level design keeps things engaging with hidden areas and collectibles. With a runtime of around six hours it’s a brief but cohesive experience. Some players note the voice acting is hit or miss but the moody soundtrack and distinct visual tone earn consistent praise.
