Humiliated by the defeat of his daughter Sabuko at the end of the first episode, the patriarch of crime Sabu decides to escape from prison to take matters into his own hands and clear his family’s honor. Suffice to say that it is no longer pleasant for Misako and Kyoko, who will also have to face the very unstable adopted son Ken (appeared in River City Girls Zero) and the lieutenants who are Tsuiko, Primo and Blaire. Fortunately, the two friends will be able to count on the reinforcement of their love Kunio and Riki, while Marian (the former damsel in distress of Double Dragon) and Provie (appeared in the River City Ransom: Underground of Conatus Creative) pass the number of playable characters to six.
Above all, this trailer confirms the possibility of cleaning the streets of the city with up to four players, compared to two in the previous episode. “Players can also tip the scales in their favor with new weapons (like a saxophone, molotov cocktails, and even a couch) and new elemental attacks that deal extra damage to enemies. Many new accessories and foods can be obtained in more than 40 stores to improve the characters“, adds WayForward.
In general, this sequel promises to be larger and more generous in everything, especially in terms of combat mechanics and the number of quarters available. Added to this is the cinematic introduction, the cutscenes in manga format, secret passages, surprise NPCs or the choice of Japanese and English dubbing. It will be necessary to justify the price of 40 euros when the game will be available at the end of the year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
