River City: Rival Showdown

If you’ve been on the fence about River City: Rival Showdown, now is the perfect time to jump in. The biggest issue people had at launch—controller compatibility—has already been fixed, and it works much better now. Seriously, you can safely ignore the older negative reviews that mention it. What you’re left with is a really fun, modern take on the classic beat ’em up formula. Fans of the original River City Ransom from the NES era will feel right at home here. The familiar style, humor, and RPG elements are all intact, but with enough updates to keep things feeling fresh. Combat is satisfying, exploration is rewarding, and the branching story paths add replay value that wasn’t present in the original. It’s clear the developers understood what made the classic so special and built on it in a meaningful way. If you grew up with River City Ransom or just enjoy old-school brawlers with personality, this is absolutely worth your time now that the technical issues have been addressed.

[b]Merits:[/b] ▪ A decent story, good humour and good localisation ▪ RPG mechanics with various stats to improve and a ton of moves to unlock ▪ High quality pixelated 3D backgrounds that work well with the original sprites ▪ Extra traditional 1v1 fighting game mode, Double Dragon Duel included ▪ The ability to play the game in co-op mode [b]Flaws:[/b] ▪ It gets tedious and grindy ▪ Requires multiple playthroughs to unlock everything [b]Verdict:[/b] The definitive version of the classic Kunio-kun story, following shortly after Tokyo Rumble. It is still fun today, the sprites look just as funny, with plenty of moves and things to do. If you like beat 'em ups, or you have nostalgia for the original, I can easily recommend it. [b]Rating:[/b] ★★★★☆ - Great

I've played this on the 2DS, hesitated too much to buy this because it is overpriced in my region (LatAm), but... It's a good remake of River City Ransom, has an interesting story, and you could see it as "Yakuza's 2D grandfather", it's similar enough to it. If I'd have one complaint... Well, two: The UI doesn't look as neat as it does on the 3DS, and a way to pull an overlay map or minimap would be better than having to pause to check. Here's some heads ups for those starting: 1. Don't run away from fights. If you do, you'll be underlevel, and will inevitably be wiped out sooner or later. 2. Focus on Endurance, Punch and Kick when leveling up, then after those are capped in Beginner difficulty (15 pts in each), focus on Luck. Then focus on whatever you'd like. 3. Buy the Stone Hands and Dragon Kicks as early as possible. They give you a nice way to deal damage early on and can be mastered into stronger versions of it, including an ultimate move for each. 4. Do not neglected Dash (LB), it's faster than getting a taxi unless you are literally going to opposing corners of the town. 5. Even though there IS a time limit and things happens on schedule, there is no actual game over, only endings and then NG+ while keeping everything you got. 6. Remember #2? It's possible to max every stat before Day 1 ends, as long as you use your spare time by fighting instead of eating or resting.

我觉得还行 童年回忆 有的玩就不错了还挑三拣四

O melhor remake de River City que joguei desde os tempos de nitendinho. Eu recomendo.

10/10! 100/100! --Why? Because this is a precious part of my childhood!!! And it's really better than the original version. What I want next, is 熱血格鬥傳說sp!!!! The real 熱血格鬥傳說sp!!!!!!!!

我们需要热血,格斗,足球,篮球

３DSくにおくんシリーズ未プレイのおっさんより くにおくん世代ならまぁ買い・初期のコントローラーバグも直っている模様 しかし世代以外は楽しめるとは到底思えない 結局思い出補正で真エンドまでプレイしたが新規はまず敵キャラ味方キャラに思い入れが持てないだろう 熱血襲撃エンドで撃退しても難易度開放されなかったので即攻略wikiを見ることに・・・EASYからNORMAL開放ぐらい別にコレでいいだろ何考えてるんだ 難易度によるステータスブーストの上限もなんでこうした？って仕様だし装備入手はハクスラ言う割にはクソみたいな苦行をしなければならない 周回前提ゲーなのに１ボタンスキップが無いとか・・・（それでも３DSよりはマシらしい） ソートが無いから装備品の一蘭も見づらいし所持上限も結構少ないしなんというかアークシステムゲーム作るの下手すぎません？ りきストーリーの表示も全体マップにされないしなんというか不便さで水増しをしたようなゲーム 【追記】 難易度熱血硬派でクリアしようとしたがラスボスの山田の術・改が当たると即死なので運ゲーとなる（しかも超必殺扱いなのでこちらの攻撃に合わせてくることも） まじでバランス悪すぎ何回も何回も雑魚の相手して山田まで行くって考えると憂鬱になってくる りきストーリーぐらいのバランスがちょうどいいと思うのだがりきが馬鹿すぎてキャラ崩壊・・・俺りき好きなのにｗｗｗ そしてりきストーリークリアしたデータでダブドラがボスのルート行ったのだがダブドラの技を覚えたはずなのに進行０日目に戻ったら技を覚えていない未だにこんなバグあるのかよ・・・ くにおくん愛でトロコンしたけどぶっちゃけ楽しさは同人（？）のRCRUのほうが大きかった

I give this my *wholehearted* recommendation as an entry point to the Kunio-kun franchise, if one isn't opting for the much more modern and sensible River City Girls. Heck I ESPECIALLY recommend this one if River City Girls was your entry point but you'd like to see everything "from the beginning". This is effectively a remake of the original River City Ransom (Downtown Nekketsu). But what's REALLY interesting about it is that instead of just being a series of boss flags you bounce between while figuring where to go, it borrows from Majora's Mask. You have three days to stop the bad guys. If you enter the fourth day without foiling the antagonist's main plot, you're forced into a BRUTAL and overwhelming boss fight against basically all of the bad guys at once. One that on paper you're not supposed to win, but feels amazing to win anyway. But you can reset time at any point and keep your levels/items/etc., just story progress resets so the fail state big brawl isn't a mandatory event. So instead of just exploring to find the story flags, you're also accounting for character schedules and events temporally. I will say that the battle system feels VERY stiff and 1980's and... that's kinda the point. Kunio-kun as a franchise is meant to feel a bit retro. But if you let it charm you, it'll never leave you. Leveling up and getting stronger in a Kunio-kun game (including River City Girls) is uniquely addictive and fun.

초반이 좀 고비이긴 한데 좀만 지나면 재밌음! 엔딩 분기 삐끗하면 피꺼솟ㅋㅋㅋ
