Return to River City to beat down the bad guys on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC
It’s time to hit the streets, thrash some thugs, and save your boyfriends! We are thrilled to announce that River City Girls is out now and available for purchase digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Supervised by the fighting-game experts at Arc System Works, this brand-new entry in the long-running River City series (known as the Kunio-kun series overseas) offers exciting new twists on the classic beat-’em-up genre. You can view the launch trailer here!
Featuring spectacularly animated pixel-art visuals and one- or two-player local cooperative action, River City Girls lets players take control of hot-blooded heroines Misako and Kyoko as they fight their way across town in an attempt to rescue their boyfriends, series mainstays Kunio and Riki. As the adventure unfolds, you’ll get to master a variety of fighting techniques, overcome countless enemies and bosses, go shopping for power-ups and accessories, wield numerous weapons, complete side quests, interact with quirky NPCs, level up with experience points, and recruit foes to assist you in battle.
In addition to six sprawling stages packed with action and challenge, River City Girls features stunning animated cutscenes, manga-style intermissions, extensive voiceovers by an all-star cast, and an epic, vocal-infused, synth-pop soundtrack by Megan McDuffee, NateWantsToBattle, Chipzel, and more.
Rated Everyone 10+ by the ESRB, River City Girls is available via the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Live, and Steam at the price of $29.99, with versions coming to GOG and Humble Bundle at a later date. A physical version for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 is also available for purchase from Limited Run Games until September 27, 2019.
