I really enjoyed reading this because I also played River City Girls when Epic gave it away, and it surprised me with how fun and modern the beat‑’em‑up style feels. Seeing you go through Uptown and deal with the new enemies brought back memories of how chaotic and entertaining that area can get.
Your take on Kyoko and Misako’s dynamic and the whole buildup to Hibari was great. It’s cool following your playthrough from your perspective, especially since I wrote about the game too. Looking forward to seeing where your adventure goes next.
