River City Girls is a fantastic beat 'em up that's a blast to play. However, if you're planning to play it on Steam Deck, be aware that you might encounter some missed cutscenes. Thankfully, you can easily skip these. Despite this minor hiccup, the game is a joy to experience. The combat is fluid and satisfying, and the colorful pixel art style is visually appealing. While some achievements require two players, the game can be comfortably completed solo within a week. I highly recommend River City Girls to fans of the genre and anyone looking for a fun and engaging beat 'em up experience.

This is a phenomenal beat ‘em up. It’s full of really fun combos, oozing with style & charm, & it has a well implemented progression system. My only problem is that the writing falls flat quite a bit, but still, this was a joy to play from beginning to end.

Awesome game with wonderful humour. Very cool gameplay and magnificient soundtrack!

March 2024

As someone that has not really played very much side-scroller beat 'em up games, this one was quite enjoyable to play through several times. Lots of laughs, great looking sprites, OST is enjoyable to listen to, and the fighting combos feel easy to learn but challenging to fully master and chain together. I only have 2 issues with the game. One being that it requires a controller. You can't use a keyboard which prevents some of my friends from playing with me. The other is that the story has so many plot holes that it barely makes sense from start to end. The ending had so many people confused that they had to fix it through the secret boss ending. Still, if you are looking for something like Double Dragon. I would say give this a try!
