Even the most basic fight is a parade of on-the-fly tactical decisions. On the surface the premise seems simple enough: string light attacks together and end the string with either a heavy or special attack. Once again, WayForward knocked it out of the park with the combat. And those are only some of the attacks added in this sequel. For example, characters can now learn launcher attacks that will launch the player’s character and whomever they were bludgeoning into the air, which can then be followed up by the new aerial combos. Seriously, combat in River City Girls 2 is jam packed with new attacks and techniques. Fighting was easily the best part of the first game and R.C.G.2 expands upon it…A lot. Gameplay Combatīrawling is the foundation on which River City Girls 2 is built on. It stars the eponymous girls-and their respective boyfriends-as they try to free their hometown from the grip of a sinister yakuza family. As they do, they’ll earn experience points-with which they can level up-and money to buy food, equipment, and new fighting techniques. Players explore the titular River City while pulverizing punks with a plethora of punches, kicks, throws, weapons, and miscellaneous other striking techniques. River City Girls 2-much like its predecessor-is two parts beat-em-up and one part R.P.G. But, I have a job to do, so let’s get this over with. Moreover, I knew Two Button Crew was going to get a review code for this game, and-having reviewed the first title-I’d would be reviewing this one. While I enjoyed the first game, I didn’t like it enough to want more of it. And with each new trailer, I felt just a little bit more…apprehensive. In case you haven’t been following this game’s development, WayForward was hyping this game up for a whole year leading up to its release, with multiple trailers that gradually revealed more and more of the game’s characters and features. The River City Girls are back! Hot on the heels of the success of their first starring role, WayForward and Arc Systems Works have brought the Gals back for round two.
