How co-op works
Two players share the entire campaign locally or through Remote Play Together, controlling Misako and Kyoko as they clear rooms, revive one another, and explore connected districts. Each character independently earns money, experience, equipment, recruits, and purchasable moves while story progress follows the shared save.
About this game
River City Girls throws players into a retro-inspired brawler where Kyoko and Misako fight their way through gangs, bosses, and trouble to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends. This is true co-op action, letting two players team up locally to clear each screen of enemies together.

Players punch, kick, and throw foes across River City's streets, shops, and hideouts, picking up weapons and learning new moves as they progress. The beat-em-up combat rewards timing and coordination, and having a second player means you can juggle enemies, revive each other, and chain attacks for faster clears.
The game supports local couch co-op on a shared screen, making it a natural fit for sitting side by side and working through each area. Sessions blend light exploration with non-stop fights, and the cooperative setup turns every encounter into a chance to tag-team your way to victory.
