The 12 Days of Gamesmas — Day 1

Welcome to the 12 Days of Gamesmas! In this festive mini-series, we will be going through 12 games that either we liked or we felt may be worth giving a look, each accompanied by a line of lyrics to the “Song of Gamesmas”! So check in each day as we count down the end of December and the start of coming new year!. Hopefully, you’ll find something fun to try, a gift for a friend, or just something to jot down on that ever-elongating backlog. Without further ado, let's kick things off; remember to sing along, everyone! On the 1st day of Gamesmas wise GameGrin gave to me...

Fighting in River City!

Genre: beat-em-up
Check out our review

Sometimes, the holidays can be a time of stress and hurry. Deadlines are always on the horizon, and you have all that pesky shopping to do. So, for the first day of Gamesmas, why not look into the turmoiled streets of River City?

In River City Girls, and its sequel River City Girls 2, you take to the streets of the titular town to beat down thugs, wield varied weapons, and use an arsenal of combos to rescue your friends. In this fast-paced beat-em-up, you can take out your festive fury on deserving punks either solo or with a friend; kicking bad-guy butt is truly the passion best shared! Having a bopping soundtrack and great retro-esque visuals helps, too.
