"With River City Girls Zero having finally received a worldwide release this year and the freshly launched River City Girls 2 currently knocking gamers’ socks off, it’s time to take a fresh look at the original River City Girls from WayForward and Arc System Works. RCG1, as we’ll call it, combines elements of the original River City Ransom and the formerly Japan-exclusive RCG Zero to make a stylish and deep beat ‘em up RPG adventure. Despite some flaws that would later be improved upon in the sequel, River City Girls 1 holds up very well," says Co-Optimus.
