    This game isn't for everyone (u will have one joke at the begining of the game about that). The most obvious answer for this statement - River City Girls ZERO is the remaster of one game from Super Famicom. The original game had that strange japanese name which I even won't write down here.

    Now about the game, the story is about average japanese pupils called Riki and Kunio (u can say

    Now about the game, the story is about average japanese pupils called Riki and Kunio (u can say whetever u want, but this names dont sound like they are from Japan). Some a%%hole (or a%%holes) framed them and they come to the horny jail.

    Gameplay here feels like gameplay in any other River City game of 1980s, 1990s. U must adopt to it, 'cause this gameplay is very unwonted. But inconcidering that - River City Girls ZERO plays pretty comfortable.

    Graphics is good, Fin.

    In conclution, if you a fan of River City games (or at least only River City Girls) - u won't waste ur time in this one. It's pretty cheap, have some fanservice (in a good sence) and plays very well. Other people could miss up this game and wont lose anything, that's it.

    Big props to WayForward for the attempt, but Kunio-tachi no Banka doesn't deserve to be placed on such a high pedestal. All Zero is good for is rounding out your Kunio-kun collection . . . and savoring Megan McDuffee's infectious tunes. [Issue #60 – July/August 2022, p. 19]

    If you like retro-style brawlers, River City Girls Zero is the right game for you; if you can life with things like laggy controls and a rather short play time, that is.

    Awesome 16-bit graphics and nostalgia will distract you from the sluggish gameplay. Players unfamiliar with retro brawlers should probably skip out on this one. But if you’re a fan of the River City series and want to take a trip back in time, this is a good place to start.
