What is River City Girls?
This 2D beat 'em up follows Kyoko and Misako as they fight across six River City regions to rescue their captured boyfriends. You punch, kick, and use weapons against enemies, learn new moves, and visit shops or take side quests, alone or with a friend in local co-op.

What players say
84% of 3,806 reviews are positive
Players praise the soundtrack, pixel art, and humorous dialogue. The most common complaint is that frequent fights against durable enemies make combat repetitive; players also describe awkward controls and unreliable hit detection. Some report controller setup problems in local co-op or limited keyboard remapping.
