If you were a fan of the original No More Heroes 1 and 2 on the Wii, then you were no doubt excited when Grasshopper Manufacture's Suda51 unveiled that there would be a new installment, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, on the Nintendo Switch.
Seven years have passed since the events of No More Heroes, and The Bad is determined to exact his revenge on Travis Touchdown.

No More Heroes was a ridiculously over-the-top brawler about an insufferable, arrogant nerd murdering people with a laser sword for profit. It was stylish, violent, magnificently bizarre, and a breath of fresh air for the mostly child-friendly Wii.

While Travis Strikes Again isn't the "No More Heroes 3" we were hoping for, it is nonetheless an entertaining action game that's certainly worth checking out, especially for fans of Grasshopper Manufacture and their distinctive style.
Simple but satisfying combat; Fantastic soundtrack; Packed with references and humour; Quirky presentation
Some frustrating moments; Lack of clarity in portable mode; A few camera issues
