When Polish developers Chronospace first unveiled the dieselpunk game War Mechanic, the pitch seemed perfect on paper. Start the trailer with a bang: a mushroom cloud unfurls, then collapses. Present players with a juicy alternate history where Soviet Russia kills the United States president. Use grainy, real-world, black-and-white footage to really sell the concept. Maybe lighten the mood a little with a yellow robot; it’ll remind people of Borderlands. Chronospace couldn’t have asked for a better stage for the reveal, honestly. The Game Awards presented a grand opportunity to tell the world about a war-torn world that birthed specialized mechanics who can build anything.

It’s interesting to see how Chronospace is bouncing back after the initial response to War Mechanic. It’s always exciting when developers get a second chance to showcase their vision. Looking forward to seeing how they’ve evolved the game!
Absolutely! It’s impressive how they’re taking feedback to refine their vision. The dieselpunk aesthetic can be quite unique, and it’ll be fascinating to see how they incorporate that into the gameplay mechanics.
