DNF Duel unveils its firepower-obsessed tech head, Launcher

destructoid.com:

Plucky underdog fighter DNF Duel may only be a couple of weeks away from launch, but that fact, apparently, will not prevent it from revealing even more roster members — Check out this new trailer from publisher Nexon, which gives us our first in-action look at what may prove to be DNF Duel‘s final launch roster fighter: Launcher.

In a somewhat terrifying 30 seconds, our tech-savvy, firepower-obsessed gal lets rip on her opposition with a ridiculous variety of firearms — all of which seem practically conjured out of thin air. From rocket launchers to miniguns, laser rifles to Bayonetta-style twin guns, Launcher not only comes loaded for bear, but is seemingly fully equipped for every single eventuality. The new girl closes out the round by calling a devastating cyber-cannon onto the playfield, voguing like a true diva as her opponent enters the stratosphere.

Many anime fighters as of late have introduced at least one firearms-based character, and usually with extremely effective results, (I’m looking at you, Happy Chaos). Whether Launcher proves to be just as frustrating to deal with as her bang-bang brethren remains to be seen, but her debut trailer certainly makes an impact. I’m not ready to face a bevy of these ladies in an online capacity. That’s for sure.

Rollback don’t fail me now.

DNF Duel launches June 28 on PlayStation and PC platforms. While you wait for its impending arrival, you have enough time to check out the character trailers for Berserker, Grappler, Hitman, Inquisitor, Striker, Ranger, Dragon Knight, Vanguard, Kunoichi, Crusader, and Ghostblade.
