River City Ransom

A beat-'em-up RPG about two students brawling across town to rescue a kidnapped girlfriend.

Technos Japan · 4–8 hrs

Difficulty

A beat-em-up with an overworld, a wallet, and a skill tree hiding in the mall. Grind a gang, spend on food, and learn a technique from a book before you walk into the next district.

Tips

Start here
Stone hands, then the mall
Dump early money into punch stat food, then buy Stone Hands. Don't rush the high school — the river and the park pay better until you can juggle.
Advanced
Carry nothing you would cry about
Death drops money. Bank by buying stats, not by hoarding cash. Co-op is the intended way to learn the grab-kick; solo is a longer grocery run.
