DecoGear Dimensions, a vibrant and energetic new brawler, has received a listings page on Steam. Developed by indie outfit BogHog, the cybernetic scrapper promises fast runs, aggressive enemies, and a distinctly hard-hitting challenge in a colourful mech universe.

Focusing on the same tight mechanics as brawlers such as Capcom's Final Fight, DecoGear Dimensions is designed with lean and efficient control in mind, allowing for fast-paced, fat-free side-scrolling action. Controlling one of three unique characters, players face an army of ruthless enemies, with crowd control and optimal damage critical to the gameplay loop.

Designed primarily for "Beat-'em-up veterans", BogHog notes that players will need to "lock in" immediately, with the heat turned up from the moment players hit the Start button. Battle over 25 enemy types with a variety of melee and projectile attacks, and use destructible terrain to gain an edge in battle. Speed and efficiency are the aim of the game, which is abundantly clear from the game's chaotic trailer.

I'm a huge fan of beat-'em-ups, new and old, and so DecoGear Dimensions is a title I'm keen to get my mitts on, especially given its boldness in throwing down the gauntlet for genre fans. No official release date has been announced yet, but its itch.io debut is expected soon. So, if you like what you see, be sure to add it to your wishlist.

DecoGear Dimensions is currently in development for PC.
