Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance is Capcom's new take on the fighting genre, featuring hard-hitting action in a visceral urban setting. Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance puts gamers in the role of one of five fugitives as they seek revenge against members of their own drug cartel that tried to set them up and have them killed. Betrayal comes at a high price and to survive in Las Sombras, you need power. With enemies everywhere, the only hope is to find the other four and build enough power to strike back. Using a low-key downtown bar as a hideout base, players wander the town in search of information and add allies to their growing opposition. Taking different jobs around town adds much needed funds to fuel the growth of the posse. By proving themselves in street battles, effectively utilizing negotiation skills and using clever disguises, they will be able to build their influence on the streets.
