Description
Set in a 1980s cyberpunk Hong Kong that never was, Crescendo of Violence is a high-octane, action-packed, tightly focused, and cinematic heroic bloodshed roleplaying game. Crescendo of Violence focuses on easy-to-run epic fight scenes, as cyberwared-out Triads, kung fu cops, and mystical entities throw down as they try to establish who rules Hong Kong. The Hong Kong of Crescendo is a dystopian technological marvel, where concrete high-rises brim with holographic neon, as gilded mob bosses, flashy CEOs, and famous vid-stars all strive to consolidate their power over the masses. You take on the role of the "one good cop", the "redemption-seeking gangster", or others attempting to destabilize the status quo and return power to those who need it...
