DESCRIPTION

An urban fisticuffs adventure, Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance casts players as a fugitive in the fictional city of Las Sombras, a dangerous place ruled by rival cartels. Players choose one of five hardened mercenaries, who were all betrayed in the same drug bust-gone-wrong. In order to redeem himself, the player's character must learn the ways of the city and its diverse neighborhoods, make alliances and gain followers, eventually rejoin with the other fugitives, and ultimately hunt down their betrayer and serve him his due. While strategy, diplomacy, and disguise have their place, the game's action revolves around street fights of many sorts. The player's character can pick a fight with nearly anyone he meets, and use found objects as improvised weapons. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
