it's a good game
Combos are fun to discver and story does its job.

River City Girls
Description
There's trouble once again on the mean streets of River City, but this time the boys are in over their heads! In this all-new entry in the legendary beat-'em-up series, hot-blooded heroes Kunio and Riki have been captured, leaving it to their hard-hitting girlfriends, Kyoko and Misako, to serve up some payback. As you punch and kick your way across town - either solo or with a friend in local co-op - you'll gain new skills, chow down on power-ups, wield an assortment of weapons, and unleash an arsenal of combos, throws, and special attacks that will leave the bad guys crying for mama - all in outrageous 16-bit style! The awesome action is punctuated by manga story panels, anime cutscenes, and an epic synth-pop soundtrack. It’s an old-school rumble for a new generation!
Key Features:
- Wild beat-'em-up action for one or two players!
- Glorious pixel-art graphics plus anime and manga cutscenes!
- Fantastic soundtrack featuring Megan McDuffee, Chipzel, Cristina Vee, Dale North, and NateWantsToBattle!
- Six large city regions to fight through, complete with shops and side quests!
- Loads of weapons, items, and abilities to power-up your heroines!
- Guest appearances by classic River City characters!

3.5/5 stars
River City Girls is as bubbly as the pop song that soundtracks its intro cinematic would lead you to believe. With all-around excellent art direction, you'll be hard-pressed to find a game this year with more style and confidence than River City Girls. While the first few hours are a slog as you level up and learn the ropes, once your moveset grows bigger, any encounter is a blast full of combos, and yes, dabbing. Just be sure to bring a friend along for the ride, as it's much harder to brave alone.

8/10
A fantastic scrolling beat 'em-ups that shows exactly how the genre can be evolved and modernised, while also indulging in some gloriously retro presentation and throwbacks.

7/10
The basic fun of fighting is counterbalanced by some punishing design that makes it hard to get fully invested in the action

Pretty and fun for two
Visually, the game is incredibly detailed in it's graphic style and has a ton of neat details that add up personality and charm. Combat is nice. Haven't played much of other beat 'em ups but I enjoy playing co-op and this game is pretty fun on that. The story is charming, as the characters and the soundtrack is REALLy good.

Great, but not quite excellent
The combat is great and I had a lot of fun with this game. The visuals and music are quite good. The story and dialogue is pretty good although some of the jokes fall flat. The only real downside to this game are 1. It's not long enough! 2. no online co-op. If they added like 30% more content and gave online co-op this would be among the best beat em ups I've ever played.

Fantastic Beat-em-up
The graphics are incredible in this game, and the music is amazing. I'll admit I don't have the PC version, I have it on my Switch, but there's no differences between them as far as I know. The fighting gameplay is great, and the voice acting is silly and fun. It's a blast, and a ton of fun with a buddy fighting alongside you. And did I mention the music is amazing? It is. If you like beat-em-ups, this should be right near the top of your list of games to buy.
