River City Ransom is a beat 'em up game with action role-playing elements. The game is non-linear,[8] allowing players to explore an open world[9] in a sandbox manner.[10] The fighting style is very similar to Double Dragon, in that the player can move freely around the screen while pressing buttons to punch, kick, or jump. The player can also use items such as brass knuckles, steel pipes, and trash cans as melee weapons or throw them at enemies.[11]
The plot follows high school students Alex and Ryan as they cross River City in an attempt to reach River City High and rescue Ryan's girlfriend Cyndi from the clutches of a villain called "Slick".[11] Along the way, they battle gangs of students and their gang leaders, latter of which act as bosses.
