How co-op works
Up to four players explore one campaign locally, choosing among six fighters, clearing room-based battles, buying moves, and completing quests together. Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series also support four-player online co-op; other platforms retain cross-play online co-op for two.
About this game
River City Girls 2 is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up where up to two players team up to punch, kick, and combo their way through urban chaos.

Combat revolves around combos, juggling enemies, and picking up weapons scattered throughout the world. You gain experience, unlock new moves, and recruit allies as you explore neighborhoods, storefronts, and rooftops. Playing with a friend amplifies the mayhem, letting you chain attacks and cover each other during boss fights.
Both local couch co-op and online co-op are supported, with cross-platform multiplayer included. Sessions feel energetic and social, especially when coordinating combos or deciding which upgrades to prioritize between fights.
