“River City Girls:” A Hidden Beat ‘Em Up Gem

“River City Girls” is a beat ‘em up video game available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch. It was developed by WayForward and published by Arc System Works. I played it on the Nintendo Switch.  

“River City Girls,” is about two high school friends, Misako and Kyoko, who fight enemies to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends Kunio and Riki. This game is a spin-off title in the Kunio-kun franchise.

In this game it takes the classic beat ‘em up formula and brings it to a new and stylish entry to the “River City” series. The art style of the game is bright and colorful and there never is a dull moment.

You choose between the main characters, Misako or Kyoko or you could play in 2-player co-op and learn new fighting techniques in the game. As you make progress in the story, you get to meet new characters and unlock new areas on the map. Purchasing new items in shops with the money you collect beating up bad guys, helps you level up and you could purchase extra health when you’re running low.

This game has fun combat and an awesome soundtrack to go with it and it has a huge replay value as you could go back and play the game all over again. I highly recommend “River City Girls.”

  1. Huh, haven't heard of this one, so I'll definitely have to keep my ears open for it! It sounds similar to that Simpsons fighting game that made it to a few arcades, but I can't even remember the name haha.

  3. Honestly I am not one who knows a lot about video games, but I find this blog very interesting. The only thing that I really know about video games is that people want good graphics, so hearing about the visuals in this game makes me believe that it could be very popular.
