Not long ago, River City Girls 2 received a long-awaited patch that improved its frame rate and fixed countless bugs. Fans have been greatly enjoying WayForward's beat 'em up RPG since the update arrived, but they also noticed that the game's combo system had become more finicky. That change was apparently unintentional, and it has now been fixed in the game's latest update. The new balance update is now live on all platforms.
Here is the official description of this week's balance patch:
Based on player feedback, this update primarily adjusts hitstop, allowing for more user-friendly combos and juggles. Thanks for continuing to enjoy River City Girls 2!
Easier combos sounds good to us!
Following the success of the first game, River City Girls 2 is a beat 'em up RPG in which Kyoko and Misako embark on a new adventure with the help of Kunio, Riki, and two new unlockable fighters.

The game features 4-player local co-op and 2-player, cross-platform online co-op.
