Arc System Works has released the first gameplay trailer for River City Girls 2. River City Girls 2 is a side-scrolling beat ’em up, and a sequel to River City Girls (duh).

From the looks of it, River City Girls 2 will be similar to the original game. Therefore, players should expect wild beat-’em-up action for one or two players. The game will also pack retro/pixel-art graphics plus anime and manga cutscenes.

The first game featured loads of weapons, items, and abilities to power-up your heroines. It also had six large city regions to fight through, complete with shops and side quests.

My guess is that WayForward will expand on these areas and include more of them. Additionally, the sequel will have more environments, characters, and enemies.

Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
