Video Game Reviews of River City Ransom
Customer Review: If it's anything like the NES version...
Summary: 5 Stars
this game will be awesome! To this day I still hold RCR in high regards as one of my favorite games.In NES:
You beat up evil gang members and "boses" to earn money, your safety, and to move on to a new section. There are a few different gangs, each dress differently and have different power levels. You can use various items as weapons. Such as trash cans, metal chains, sticks, metal poles, brass knuckles, and tires. You can "ride" certain weapons or an enemy when they are thrown. Once you clear out a section (such as an ally) no more gang members will return until you leave and re-enter.
As in most classic RPGs, you lose half your money if you die. If you are playing two characters, then each guy has his own cash that can't be given to the other.
You eat different foods and vitamins to regain health and up stats. Some foods can be carried along with you between towns, most have to be eaten right after ordered. You'll need to learn which foods are best for health and stat gain for the price.
To become a better fighter and learn special skills, read certain books. Not all books are worth the cost, though. There are also items such as shoes, which serve no real purpose.
Most of the mini bosses (the music changes when you are about to battle a mini boss, so you have a warning) regenerate if you leave the screen and go back. Quick cash!
Hopefully, the passwords (if there are any) will be MUCH sorter than they were for NES. That was the one and only major con! Of course, fighting the same enemies over and over can be boring... so find a weapon to wield or throw, even if it's another character. ^_~
