![]() To start your City Girl Life adventure players will need the Facebook Gameroom, while the title was previously available within your browser it is now exclusive to the Facebook Gameroom. For fans of these other titles or games that blend social and fashion together in general you’ll feel right at home with the general game design of City Girl Life. ![]() The game is similar to other games in the life simulation genre and feels like a spiritual successor to Playdom’s other hit social games like Sorority Life and Social City. With a community in the millions City Girl Life constantly receives updates, events and general community engagement which has seen the game continually grow since it started back in 2012. The Facebook page is also an active hub for the community alongside the official forums. With Gameroom retired in 30 June 2021 players now need to reactivate Flash to play directly through Facebook (instructions on City Girl Life Facebook page). It is developed by Playdom and was original playable through Facebook and eventually Facebook Gameroom. There’s so much energy in the music that it’s hard not to be motivated to kick every face in the room.City Girl Life is a social and fashion focused experience designed to blend fashion, fame, fortune, friends and New York City. In some of the more prominent areas, songs feature lyrics from villains taunting you as you journey to them. Occasionally, you’ll walk into a room and hear some fun attempts at parodying local radio stations in the background. This is also true of the music: Megan McDuffee’s killer soundtrack bangs with toe-tapping, genre-bashing instrumentals. Character models and backgrounds have a chunky pixel style that, mixed with the silky smooth animations, capture a style and expressiveness that deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with beautiful retro contemporaries like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Also, many screens feature lots of obstacles and architecture that can become challenges for platforming or add a bit more tactical thinking to the fights you pick, but I found that I was just as often slipping off of edges or having my view of the action blocked by something in the foreground.īut again, the scenery deserves attention. ![]() ![]() That said, the size of the city means that even with the presence of a fast-travel system I had to spend an awful lot of time backtracking through parts of the city to check boxes to progress the main quest. My first time kicking ass through locations like the vibrant fish markets of Ocean Heights or the sleek offices of the Technos complex were a treat because they’re so well drawn and colored. The map of River City is huge in River City Girls 2, much bigger than the previous game’s rendition. So if you do choose to grind, there will be plenty of places to spend all that hard-earned money. Food items, though one-time use consumables, can be stored for when you need them and grant characters a permanent stat buff the first time they eat them. Want to hit just the male (or female) enemies harder for some reason, there's one for that too. Want to move faster? There’s an accessory for that. Items that gave me a health shield when I was low or added elemental properties to my heavy attacks were my personal go-tos, but there are also options that alter almost every way you interact with River City Girls 2. These were much-appreciated meanderings that helped break up the punch-drunk monotony.Įquipping gear bought at stores sprinkled throughout the seven regions of the city helps even the odds in combat. The stranger the distraction, the more I missed it when it was gone. Shortly after embarking on the quest to save the city, I found myself occasionally doing odd jobs like catching ghosts, robbing a Yakuza-owned bank, and training the locals in the lost art of dodgeball. I wasn’t simply street fighting throughout the entire eight-hour adventure, though.
