River City Girls Zero
Join Kunio, Riki, Misako, and Kyoko for bone-crunching, 16-bit, co-op beat-'em-up action - newly translated and released outside of Japan after 28 years! The original 1994 graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay are augmented with new motion-comic cutscenes, a new animated intro, and new music!

Steam review score and the most-helpful voices, which may include critical ones. Score via SteamSpy as of 2026-05-14.
“A cool, spin-off game from the series. Not great as the mainline due to simplified arts and history, but given the short time to beat (you can do in a single day), it's fair. For instance, it's imo the best first game to any steam user to plat. 7/10.”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Cool vibes, bad game. River City Girls Zero is a side-scrolling beat em up with none of the rpg elements from River City Ransom. The gameplay is basically kill 3 waves of enemies then move on to the next area, with the occasional motorcycle level which are their own kind of bad.…”
