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 neighbourhoods, 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 emphasises 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 neighbourhoods for which their heroes will go to war.
