WayForward has announced that the latest part in the River City series, River City Girls, will be released on September 5th. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has released the first details and a teaser trailer that you can find below.
As the developers noted:
“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 game will feature lovely 16-bit-style graphics and a synth-pop soundtrack (featuring NateWantsToBattle, Chipzel, Christina Vee, and Megan McDuffee!). Furthermore, it will sport anime cutscenes and manga-style intermissions.
River City Girls will support solo and two-player co-op modes, will have six large city regions to fight through, complete with shops and side quests, loads of weapons, items, and abilities to power-up your heroines, as well as Guest appearances by classic River City characters.
Enjoy!

This little indie game is more exciting than any “AAA” pile of s**t on the horizon. How the hell did this hobby devolve to this?
Indie gaming is where it is at right now. It’s the only sector really taking risks, aside from a few major developers (Sekiro was nice).
“How the hell did this hobby devolve to this?”
How much time you have?
From corporate suits wanting to make everything a mmo with microtransactions, to new ips costing too much and wanting to milk every penny of the fanbase on every godamn spin off or reboot, from talentless sjws making boring games with ugly characters, too much focus on realism a gaming press that cant play games, cant critique games and their bad business practices and cant look at games that have pretty characters not to mention they have to be a hall monitor because they cant handle anything that isnt msm pc language. Then you got the soulless cowards who call themselves artists but dont have a ounce of artistic integrity and punch their card in as their soul is wasted making trashy ea/ubisoft games.
Man, this looks great! Anything Wayforward makes is basically gold. Why can’t I find a Steam page for it though?
So brave. So strong.
i dont know what you mean by that, this isnt a sjw game, it has attractive characters
Wayforward generally doesn’t make SJW games, but it looks like egoraptor had some part in this game judging by his twitter, that’s not a good sign. Let’s hope that he did something minor and easy to ignore.
I said you got trouble!
Right here in River City!
Bae ‘tem up
Seems to be a very decent Beat ’em up!
“to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends, series mainstays Kunio and Riki”
