Dieselpunk Wars is an action-simulation title developed by Image Power S.A. and Roasted Games. Players construct custom war machines from over 300 distinct components, including weapons, armor, engines, and propulsion systems. The game simulates advanced physics for aerodynamics, buoyancy, fires, and flooding, with vehicles capable of being cut in half and strategic block placement directly impacting survivability. Gameplay modes include a single-player campaign with an unfolding plot across diverse biomes, a sandbox mode for unrestricted creation, and a battle mode with Steam Workshop integration for sharing designs.
The core of Dieselpunk Wars revolves around vehicular combat and construction. Players must account for how each element affects a machine's handling and capabilities, with physics simulation governing everything from air drag to water resistance and fire spread. Weapons possess unique ballistics, penetration, and ricochet mechanics, while armor thickness and angling play a critical role in defense. The game’s advanced destruction simulation ensures that damage is visually and mechanically impactful, forcing players to consider component placement for optimal survivability against a variety of enemy behaviors and tactics.
