A fun beat em up that is raised up by wonderful characters and humorous writing. This game lets you play as more than just Misako and Kyoko but I couldn’t bring myself to swap to anyone else because they are such fun characters. They bounce off each other really well with great comedic timing/writing, and it plays well into the plot with them fighting off the Yakuza who have taken over River City (and their school). The comic cutscenes are fun and the general presentation is great, there are so many wonderful songs that uplift the game and vibe so much. The game play is good but not the greatest beat ‘em up I’ve played, it can be a bit annoying with how often you get knocked prone, but I like the light rpg system and how having each food healing item for the first time increases your stats permanently. I do wish it kept the whole cast the same level to encourage swapping characters but that’s a small nitpick, I would like to play again in coop one day and try someone else just to see how different they play. Ultimately, if you were a fan of the first one or just want a funny adventure I think this game is well worth the time.
