This game, recently rereleased as "River City Girls Zero", is a passable beatemup I suppose, but it's a bit dry as far as gameplay goes and it's quite overlong. I liked that you could switch between four characters for a chunk of the game, but they don't really differ much in playstyle and so it's more like having four health bars. They decide to cut you back down to just two in the home stretch, though, which was annoying. Also annoying was the lack of health bars on enemies and even bosses, though I hear that is pretty common throughout the Kunio-kun games.

Though I much prefer the off-beat personality showcased here over River City Girls' internet poisoned dialogue and frustrating cameos, it's not much of a better game in other regards either. I guess I'm just not as hard on it because the latter was like only four years ago and by then it should just be well known how to not make a shitty beatemup if you're going to make one to begin with. I still can't really get over how disappointing that one was. Fucking WayForward. I hope they burn.
