Of the extremely little I’ve played of River City Ransom, I would say that Technos Samurai is a lot like it. Except Technos Samurai is much more Japanese, and a whole hell of a lot more confusing. I played the game for a long time, and not only did I not know what I was doing, I forgot what I was supposed to have BEEN doing. If that makes sense, anyway. You pretty much just run around Japan, looking for enemies to fight.. And after you’ve cleared a screen of enemies, then you fight the boss of the enemies, who may or may not tell you something afterwards. But it’s fun, and you certainly do fight a lot, so who’s complaining? It’s Technos, so have fun and stuff.
