River City Saga Journey to the West is a beat-em-up in the long-running River City (Kunio-kun) series that recasts the familiar characters in a retelling of the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West.

Players brawl through enemy-filled stages, gaining strength as they progress, and the classic chibi pixel art keeps the tone light-hearted. It's aimed at fans of retro-style brawlers and the River City cast.
