昭和感全開ベルトスクロールアクションゲーム☆ 昔のゲームを移植した作品なので、ゲームバランスが若干悪かったり爽快感が薄かったりしますが私は楽しく遊べました♪ どこでもセーブが超便利◎。 本来は繰り返し挑戦となる所も、この機能のおかげで割とスムーズに進めることが出来るのが嬉しいです。 気になった点は、時々BGMが止まってしまいます。 SEは普通に聞こえるのでバグかも⁉ 派手さもなく決して万人受けするゲームではありませんが、昔のゲームを気軽に遊びたい人やレトロ横スクロールアクションが好きな人にお勧めです☆彡
the original game is mid at best. The extras anime/manga sequences songs they did for the remake are good.
River City Girls Zero Nota: 7/10 Um jogo muito divertido e bem mais desafiador do que parece. Para quem quiser platinar, é excelente.

has not aged well, and playing this after any of the other River City Girls makes its weaknesses even more glaring...
If you somehow really want to play Kunio-tachi no Banka, one of the worst beat-em-ups on the Super Famicom/SNES, you'd be better off simply using a free emulator. River City Girls Zero is nothing more than a horrible emulator+rom+wrapper package that suffers from audio crackling, stutter, input lag, and bugs like no audio at all if you load a save state too quickly after making it. If you're a fan of the River City Girls games and want to see the new opening and ending cutscenes, do yourself a favor and watch them on YouTube. And I would like to reiterate that even on a good free emulator without any of these newly-introduced issues, Kunio-tachi no Banka is hot trash. Stiff controls, incredibly simplistic enemies and bosses, a max of two enemies on screen at once, and a combat loop that focuses on spamming special knockdown moves to avoid a lot of enemies breaking out of the most basic combo stings and dealing big damage. To rank this among beat-em-up classics like entries in the Streets of Rage or Final Fight franchises would be insane, but this game doesn't even compare well to entries in its own series. River City Ransom on the NES is way better, and even that game is just OK at best. Hard pass unless you're a beat-em-up/RCG diehard, morbidly curious, and got the game in a RCG bundle that made it practically free.
Adoro essa franquia
An old-school beat 'em up from back in the day. It's great to play co-op with friends as you fight your way through the stages. And yes, it's a tough game!
A cool, spin-off game from the series. Not great as the mainline due to simplified arts and history, but given the short time to beat (you can do in a single day), it's fair. For instance, it's imo the best first game to any steam user to plat. 7/10.
god
recomendado para los fans de los ultimos juegos de River City Girls y jugarlo con un compañero, si eres casual beat em up no deberias comenzar aqui. si te gusta la antigua dificultad de la NESS tambien es para ti.
