One of gaming's first-ever beat 'em ups is back with a remaster of a remake
Only '90s kids will remember this! At least that might have been the case, but thankfully everyone can now return to River City.
River City Ransom was released on the NES way back in 1989 and was one of the earliest examples of a beat 'em up on home gaming consoles. Despite being so early, though, it was also much more ambitious than you might expect, with RPG elements, a semi-open world, and loot to collect.
