And they can retreat to a hideout, where players can swap fighters, change up assist characters and grab needed items from storage. Misako and Kyoko can hire heavy-hitting characters they meet along the way to jump in and deliver a needed special attack at key moments. Players can also enter into side quests and mini games that earn experience, money and other rewards. Victories win cash as well, which can be used to purchase new moves at a local dojo, buy stat-boosting food, etc. That makes the skirmishes more choice-filled and rewarding as the game progresses. The hard-fisted heroes make their way through multiple city environments on a large map, frenetically battling scores of respawning thugs, costumed attackers, heavily muscled wrestlers, cheerleaders, punk rockers, zombies and the like.Ī character’s health, strength and other stats improve with repeated battle, and the girls also learn new kicking and punching combos to fight and defend themselves with. Gamers can play solo (gamers can ultimately choose among six playable characters) or they can team up with friends (four locally or two online). Gameplay wise, the focus here is, of course, lots and lots of 2-D, side-scroll brawling. It’s time for the River City Girls to start from scratch and take down the evil yakuza syndicate, one battering street fight at a time. Soon after, the girls put down their controllers and chip bags to recognize how bad things have gotten in River City during their absence. Which … explains why Misako and Kyoko are so sorely out of practice and lose all their previous fighting skills. But instead of worrying about getting the boot from class, the girls welcome the vacation and spend the next two months playing video games. That takeover includes the local school, and Misako and Kyoko are quickly expelled. But instead, their disappointed crime boss dad decides to simply smash his way out of prison and personally take charge of River City. Sabuko’s stepbrother, Ken, wants to take advantage of that failure and move up in their crime family empire. Her reputation is in as much of a mess as she is. Sabuko, an organized-crime bigwig and the first game’s final boss, is launched out a window by the game’s heroes-schoolgirls Misako and Kyoko-and she ends up face down in the muck of a dirty alley. This action-brawler sequelpicks up where the 2019 original left off. And River City Girls 2 returns with all the above, plus a bit more. The original River City Girls was known for it’s easy-to-dive-into beat-‘em-up action mixed with an appealing blend of pixel graphics and humor.
