River City Girls – 8 Minutes of gameplay

A few weeks ago, Wayforward and Arc System Works officially revealed River City Girls for the Nintendo Switch.

While the trailers gave us some brief glimpses of River City Girls in action, Gamexplain has brought us some new gameplay footage from Arc System Works’ booth at Anime Expo 2019. The footage shows off what appears to be the game’s first level, from the beginning all the way up to the first boss fight.

About River City Girls

River City Girls stars Kyoko and Misako, two street-tough high-schoolers who must fight their way through the six regions of River City to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends, series mainstays Kunio and Riki.

Along the way, they’ll utilize an arsenal of combos, counters, throws, and special attacks; battle an assortment of enemies; accept numerous side quests; level up with experience points; interact with NPCs (including guest stars from past River City games); and shop for a variety of items, food, and gear to boost stats and unlock new abilities. The girls can even wield weapons and recruit defeated foes to join them in combat!

The one- or local two-player bare-knuckle brawling is complemented by spectacular 16-bit-style graphics and an epic synth-pop soundtrack (featuring NateWantsToBattle, Chipzel, Christina Vee, and Megan McDuffee!), while the story roars to life via glorious anime cutscenes and manga-style intermissions.
