While we’re a little more confident about the sequel, we had a lot of fun with the old school beat ’em up River City Girls 2 when it was released last year, although we did notice some technical issues along the way. Fortunately, some of these have been addressed by developer WayForward in the game’s latest update, which is available for download today.
Ironing out small tweaks seems to be the main focus of the update, but some tweaks to the game’s performance have also been made as well as the implementation of repeated New Game + gameplay.
Full patch notes are posted on the game’s page Steam pageand we have collected them for you to look at below.
