A sequel and by this very long point in time, a spiritual successor the a classic beat em’ up is in the works. River City Ransom: Underground is that game. With updated graphics and the official license this game looks very promising. We want to go over the Kickstarter that we are wagering will be funded before long.
River City Ransom: Underground and Gameplay
The game will mostly be like the old version, just more. This is the formula we see a lot today but it does work. Here are a few things to expect:
- A vastly expanded selection of items to buy
- A new combat system with lots of new options
- Tons of new characters from enemies to NPCs
- A larger world than before
- Leveling mechanics
So despite the core staying the same those are some significant changes. We wonder how this will impact the game. The only concern would be whether it is going to make the game too easy. We will have to see how this goes.
They are also hoping to make this game multiplatform including the Vita and PS4. These are part of the stretch goals they have. As far as the art it looks fairly similar to the earlier Scott Pilgrim game. That’s probably what happens when you update the graphics of a game like this. It does look nice though.
The River City Ransom: Underground Kickstarter
This Kickstarter has pretty much every bonus you could think of. This includes:
- Soundtracks
- Copies of the game
- Your name on various parts of the game including on places and demi-bosses
- Design input on some aspects
If you have the money to burn then you can get just about anything. Here is the Kickstarter link. We think this will be a pretty great game to stream with a friend, for better or worse.
