Not the Bruno that you know

Confused about whichRiver Citygame is which? Here’s a quick rundown.River City Ransom: Undergroundwas kickstartedin 2013, and whilethe game is content complete, it has not yet been released. Meanwhile,River City: Tokyo Rumble, a 3DS port of the sequel to the originalRiver City Ransom, was released in Japan in 2013.Aksys localized it a few months ago, and it received a warm reception.

The two games may look similar, but their resemblance is only skin deep.I enjoyedRiver City: Tokyo Rumble, but it’s undeniably bare bones. The graphics and combat system were largely recycled from past games, and the lack of online multi-player is a huge limitation.

River City Ransom: Undergroundpromises to be a whole other story. In just under a minute, this teaser trailer has already shown off more new art and fighting mechanics than the entirety ofTokyo Rumble. The game’s developers have also confirmed thatRiver City Ransom: Underground‘s online competitive and co-operative modes are already running smoothly.

Chances are we’ll be seeing a lot more of the game in coming months as the developers prepare it for launch. I wonder if thenaked butts will be back?
