It's also way too cool to body-slam folks as a muscular, super-cool version of one of gaming's most famous damsels in distress.Kick butt, take names, and pound punks in this all-new installment of the classic co-op beat-’em-up series! River City Girls stars Kyoko and Misako, two street-tough high-schoolers who must fight their way through the six regions of River City to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends, series mainstays Kunio and Riki. If you enjoy quirky comedy with a fighting game twist, River City Girls 2 has a lot to enjoy. The boss fights feel a little less tightly designed than they did in the first game, but it's a small complaint at best, and there's still plenty to enjoy here. It doesn't veer too far away from any of the original's design choices, and the result is a comfortable, if safe, sequel. River City Girls 2 is pretty much everything you'd expect from a sequel: more enemies, more allies, more moves, more areas to explore, and more everything. Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 8 / 10 If you loved the original as we did, you're bound to like this follow-up, and we hope the team at Wayforward gets more time and money to really expand the series for a third entry. Switch-related performance issues aside, it was still a great time to return to River City thanks to its phenomenal music and voice acting, sharp writing, gorgeous sprite work, fun new characters, and satisfying combo-based gameplay, but at launch it feels a patch or two away from greatness. River City Girls 2 is more River City Girls, feeling less like a full-fledged sequel and more like a RCG 1.5. River City Girls 2 beefs up its decades-old beat-'em-up formula with RPG elements, witty humor, and dense combat options. Exploring so much may not appeal to everyone, but for others, it is pure pixel-art enjoyment. Small changes here and there keep the game looking fresh and engaging. Hobby Consolas - Daniel Quesada - Spanish - 84 / 100 If you're a fan of beat em up games and the first River City game you'll most likely enjoy River City Girls 2 and all if not, you will still enjoy the game if you can ignore its few annoyances. And with the series’ typically strong presentation, those who get absorbed in the adventure on offer here will have an absolute blast whether they play alone or in co-op. There are more characters, more moves, more locations, more… everything. It’s very much an incremental improvement and expansion of the first. But with that, there’s nothing here that is likely to draw in new fans. It’s safe to say that if you were a fan of River City Girls, you’re going to love River City Girls 2. If you have even an inkling of enjoying brawlers, you’ll definitely won’t want to miss River City Girls 2. Alongside June’s brilliant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, this is proof that the genre still has plenty of punch left when dedicated and passionate developers such as DotEmu and WayForward have any say in regards to the matter. River City Girls 2 is an awesome way to close out 2022, which has been a very good year for beat ’em up games. Entertainium - Eduardo Rebouças - Worth your time
