Crunchyroll: River City Girls in IOS

Beat-em-up Action Adventure

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

River City Girls on mobile is a fantastic port of one of the best modern beat-em-ups. For Crunchyroll Mega/Ultimate members, this is an incredible value. Playing as Misako and Kyoko feels fluid even on touchscreens, though the game truly shines when you pair a Bluetooth controller. The pixel art is stunning, and the synth-pop soundtrack is easily one of the best in gaming.

What makes RCG stand out from other brawlers is the 'light' RPG elements. Buying gear at shops, eating food to gain permanent stat boosts, and recruiting defeated enemies as 'Assists' adds layers of strategy beyond just 'punch everything.' The humor is sharp, the anime cutscenes are top-notch, and the inclusion of Crunchyroll-Hime as a shopkeeper is a nice touch for the mobile version. Aside from a slightly cumbersome login process, it's a near-perfect mobile port.
