Versus Mode
Local and Online Multiplayer OK!
Pick up your gauntlets and start swinging! Fill up the match with local or online friends, enemies, or CPUs. Best part is that you can play online even with multiple local players! This mode will allow you to choose stages and make match customizations.
Online Matchmaking
Local and Online Multiplayer OK!
Match with ANYONE across the WORLD and play in either 2v2 or Free-For-All. Our RealMatch rollback will ensure you get the most premium gameplay experience no matter what! (As a fighting game fan, I need to say while the game handles Wi-Fi just fine, please use a hard connection if possible.)
Online Private Lobbies
Local and Online Multiplayer OK!
Need to quickly join a buddy or running an online tournament? Our extremely simple lobby system makes it so anyone can pop in a short code and automatically join a customizable lobby.
In addition, lobbies will also work joining any other mode. Everything is possible!
Training Mode
Local and Online Multiplayer OK!
The ultimate training mode! Complete with tons of match modifiers, frame data, frame data bars, save states, shortcuts and everything else you've ever wanted to lab a game-- you'll find it here.
Story Mode
Local and Online Multiplayer OK!
Immerse yourself in Diesel Legacy's universe with our full fledged Story Mode. This mode comes complete with all 10 playable characters with their own unique story content, as everyone fights for the fate of the Iron City! This mode includes some unique challenges that you won't find anywhere else.
Arcade Mode
Local and Online Multiplayer OK!
Instead of waiting, say 3 years, after launch-- we've got a staple to the fighting game experience on day one! Face match after match in a tower-style gauntlet to get the high score!
To reiterate, you can play Co-Op with a friend online or offline to chase the top ranks!
Replays / Live Spectator
Any match you play, you can go back and watch with rewind and pause features. Best yet, you'll be able to do "Takeover Mode" which will allow you to play back everyone's inputs and take over a character to see what you could've done better.
You'll also be able to watch any current online match going on-- even if you're joining in late!
Player Ranking
If you win a match and an internet ranking doesn't show a bar filling up, did you really win? Yes, but a little more incentive might help!
Player Rankings will increase per win, also increasing your ranking each time. Can you become the Master of Iron City? You'll have a lot of competition ahead of you. Kick, scratch, explode your way to the top.
Leaderboards
Compare yourself and dominate your friends, and then, THE WORLD! Check your rankings with both ranking and arcade score.
Various Unlockables & Achievements
Unlock different color schemes with each character by various means! For Achievement/Trophy Hunters, you'll have a blast exploring all the different modes.
Official Tournament: Holiday Matsuri / CEOtaku 2024
