Vengeance is a fast paced game where 1-4 players compete to avenge themselves on the baddies that wronged them. While competitive in nature the game also has a collaborative feel, as players work towards the common goal of eliminating the gangs that plague their city.

Heroes start the game bruised and broken, but quickly heal and develop into killing-machines out to take revenge on their antagonists through action-packed fight sequences made up of dicebased puzzles. The goal of each fight-puzzle is to take out the gang boss, along with their minions, by triggering a combination of upgrades that make up their unique hero build.
