The title is for brand recognition. Don't expect this to be a Misako/Kyoko adventure apart from those manga cutscenes.

I like playing old school beat em ups so I'm gonna be a bit biased in saying that it has some good combat, but of course don't expect this to play like RCG1+2. The enemy's behavior can be unfair at times, particularly with their blocking/dodges, but generally you should be able to get through the game with the use of your special moves and jump kicks. It's good to see Kunio-tachi no Banka get a re-release with an official English translation (comes with 2, actually), so thank you, WayForward.

It also has some story elements that tie into the story of River City Girls 2, so it should still be worth it for RCG fans.
