That said, the ability to pair any members of your team while you play allows you to witness some quite fun back and forth between any of the cast throughout. The newcomers sadly come in a little too late into the narrative to gel well with the original four. The characters are goofy and larger than life, the boys are their usual cool and composed selves which contrasts quite well with the daft Kyoko and overly-confident and often wrong Misako.

The story is a mix of comedy and fanservice, as you would expect if you’ve played this series before. Eventually, the goal of getting a new video game is well and truly in the rearview mirror as the Girls once again decide to take the fight to the Yakuza to restore their own brand of chaos throughout the city. They’ve taken over the whole of River City, resulting in plenty of would-be assailants ready to take on the River City gang. Naturally, Ken and Sabo still aren’t content with just expulsion. The team perform the impossible and clear their backlog (River City Girls Zero included), so they decide to travel across town to purchase a new game. Their first act of dominance is to exclude Kunio, Riki, Misako, and Kyoko, which sends them into a two-month spiral of fast food, video games, and “Exp Loss”. Led by Ken, Sabo’s crime syndicate soon takes over River City High. Unfortunately, the events of the previous game have caused much embarrassment to the crime lord Sabo and his son Ken who are none too happy about their Yakuza empire being bested by the girls. Kyoko and Misako have saved the day, found the boys, and are ready to go back to life as the premier Banchos in River City High.

River City Girls 2 follows on from the events of River City Girls. Kunio and Riki had their turn earlier this year, but now the girls are back again in the sequel to one of my favorite beat-em-ups of all time, River City Girls 2!

Thankfully those days are over and we receive a rather healthy supply of them such as the most recent and brilliant River City Saga: Three Kingdoms. Once upon a time River City titles were few and far between.
