River City Girls v0.00.867191

There’s excitement again on the rough roads of River City! Strong female protagonists Misako and Kyoko destroy the city to save their boyfriends Kunio and Riki, and they won’t let anyone stand in their way! As you punch and kick around the city, you’ll gain new abilities, absorb power-ups, wield devastating weapons, and unleash an arsenal of combos, throws, and special attacks that will make baddies cry for their mothers—all in outrageous pixel art style! The amazing action is interrupted by comic book-style story panels, anime cutscenes, multiple endings and an epic synth-pop soundtrack.

This version of the game features touchscreen or Bluetooth controller for single-player play (Bluetooth controllers are required for two-player co-op), and features a new store owner in River City: Crunchyroll-Hime! The pixel art in River City Girls is simply gorgeous. A tribute to classic beat ’em up games. The sprites are full of personality and filled with detail that showcases the developers’ mastery of pixel art. The characters have fluid animations that make the action feel impressive. The background features destructible objects and humorous signs to encourage exploration. Overall, the retro pixel art aesthetic plays a huge role in recreating the nostalgic feel of a beat ’em up arcade game.

It’s a visual treat for fans of the genre. At the heart of any good beat ’em up is a combat system that feels responsive and rewarding. In this regard, River City Girls offers an accessible control scheme for light and heavy attacks that can be combined into combos. Throwing a long series of punches and throws at enemies feels great. The heroines learn new moves like aerial dashes and grabs that add depth. Weapons like baseball bats and katanas further spice things up. Rounding out the fight is the ability to recruit defeated enemies for special assist attacks. Overall, the combat mechanics are easy to learn but have enough nuance for experienced players.
