A roleplaying game of fast-moving beat 'em up action - take to the
streets, take on the gangs, take back your City!
As night falls over the City, a storm is brewing in the streets below.
The gangs have taken over. They rule with an iron fist, their will
enforced by armies of thugs and brawlers. Gutters run red. The
authorities have either sold out or are stretched too thin to make a
difference. Might makes right.
You will not tolerate this any longer. Uniting with a crew of
like-minded individuals, you head out to reclaim your home, protecting
neighborhoods, inspiring others to take a stand, and clashing with gang
enforcers as you work your way through their ranks, seeking to cut the
head from the snake coiled at the heart of the City.
Urban Decay is a roleplaying game of beat 'em up action inspired by
classic arcade video games, movies, and comic-books. Players take on the
roles of warriors, martial artists, vigilantes, and ordinary citizens,
taking to the streets to face the gangs that control the City and to
save the people and places they love. Streamlined character and crew
creation produces distinct, capable heroes with shared goals and bonds,
while the versatile Clash system emphasizes the brutal, gritty
street-fights in which these heroes will find themselves. The City
itself is built collaboratively, with players working together to define
the districts and neighborhoods for which their heroes will go to war.
