"WayForward's River City Girls series of beat 'em ups is a favorite around here thanks to its lovable characters, amazing artwork, humorous writing, and abundant fanservice. Now there is a must-have book for fans of the series: The Art of River City Girls. The book was initially offered via preorders through Limited Run and is now available for purchase from Fangamer. I picked it up, and it definitely kicks some butt!" says Co-Optimus.
Punch and kick your way to rescue your kidnapped boyfriends in River City Girls from WayForward and Arc System Works. Set in the iconic River City brawler franchise, players will mow down waves of enemies and bosses through six colorfully pixelated areas. With inspiration taken from classic arcade games and modern media alike, I was hyped to play this ported gem. While River City Girls came out swinging, my match ended before it ever really began.
“2023 was so full of excellent indie games that I had to upgrade my consoles' storage capacity so let's explore the year's very best indies.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
"WayForward's River City Girls is an incredible beat 'em up RPG that has spawned a successful franchise and even an artbook. The first game has appeared on every modern platform other than mobile - until now. River City Girls is now available on iOS and Android through Crunchyroll Game Vault. Basically, paying Crunchyroll subscribers get free access to games in the vault, which is a great deal if you're already relying on the service to stream anime," says Co-Optimus.
