Urban Decay - Beat 'Em Up Roleplaying
![]() |
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.
