HARK! VENGEANCE cries your name, demanding you redress the iniquities of crime. Crime’s roots run deep. Crime is a festering corruption that spews a stench of despair and chaos. Crime is a dread phantom that makes the innocent quake in fear. But crime is also a crucible, forging its own demise in you, the hardened force of bone-crushing justice, the lone fighter, ready to trade blows with the wicked and trace every vile villain to his secret lair.

Hark! Vengeance is a card game for 1 player. You control a lone fighter, punching and kicking through hordes of enemies to find the bosses at the head of a possibly endless criminal conspiracy. The game emulates “beat-em-up” video games, as your hero progresses through various stages filled with low-level foes, obstacles, hazards, power-ups, and secrets that will help you progress deeper. It’s no sweat to find rascals who need to be taken down, but you’re out for revenge against the deepest villains in the criminal conspiracy. Each game will see you revisit stages, discover five new challenges, and face off against a boss who is part of the criminal conspiracy. The deeper your journey into the criminal underworld takes you, the greater the glory, the colder the vengeance, and the higher the score you achieve.

This is a “Make-as-You-Play” game, which means that you will create and modify many of the components during play, principally index cards. Each copy of Hark! Vengeance will evolve differently, with stages and bosses posing different challenges and opportunities. Moreover, should you complete the deck and jump into a sequel, there is no limit to the number of stages you can explore or despicable bosses you can beat down.
