  • Summary: Kick butt, take names, and pound punks in this all-new installment of the classic co-op beat-'em-up series!

    River City Girls stars Kyoko and Misako, two street-tough high-schoolers who must fight their way through the six regions of River City to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends, series mainstays Kunio and Riki. Along the way, they'll utilize an arsenal of combos, counters, throws, and special attacks; battle an assortment of enemies; accept numerous side quests; level up with experience points; interact with NPCs (including guest stars from past River City games); and shop for a variety of items, food, and gear to boost stats and unlock new abilities. The girls can even wield weapons and recruit defeated foes to join them in combat!

    The one- or local two-player bare-knuckle brawling is complemented by spectacular 16-bit-style graphics and an epic synth-pop soundtrack (featuring NateWantsToBattle, Chipzel, Christina Vee, and Megan McDuffee!), while the story roars to life via glorious anime cutscenes and manga-style intermissions.

    Key Features:
    -Furious beat-'em-up action for one or two players!
    -Stunning pixel-art graphics plus anime and manga cutscenes!
    -Fantastic soundtrack featuring NateWantsToBattle, Chipzel, Christina Vee, and Megan McDuffee!
    -Six large city regions to fight through, complete with shops and side quests!
    -Loads of weapons, items, and abilities to power-up your heroines!

    There's trouble once again in River City, and this time only the girls can save the day! Using a variety of attacks, weapons, and items, these hot-blooded heroines are ready to teach the city’s lowlifes a lesson - either solo or in 2-player co-op! It’s an old-school rumble for a new generation!

    We had fun with River City Girls, almost as much as with the old titles of the franchise and expecially in coop mode, but we're not sure purists will appreciate some of the new ideas. It's a pity that the game is a little bit pricey, too.

Все проблемы которой решаются одним модом: UserXpMod. Игра со стёбным закосом под японщину80-х 90-х. Бредовость и отсылочки местного сюжета ни раз и ни два заставят вас улыбнуться. Сложность достаточная для того, чтобы регулярно убивать игрока, но это всегда планка, которую можно преодолеть за несколько попыток. И, конечно же, рекомендуется играть именно вдвоём.… Expand

    I enjoyed this game. The enemies can feel pretty spongey but I think it controls well. I would argue a good d-pad is a must for this game. II enjoyed this game.

    The music may feel off in some instances but shine with glamour in others.
    It's a very hard to rate game since most of its potential was wasted in the open world which does not make the game any better than any other classic beat'em up affair.
    It's almost in the green zone, but not quite.
    Play in 2P for the best experience possible.    … Expand

    Además, su corta duración y una dificultad demasiado sencilla solo consiguen que lo haya jugado de rebote gracias al Game Pass y no por méritos propios.    … Expand
