Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Reviews
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is out now for Nintendo Switch. Did we sell you on the game, you can grab it right here!
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is not exactly the full-fledged sequel fans have been asking for, but it’s a step in the right direction and a sign of good things to come from Goichi Suda. With more than 10 hours of gameplay and further content planned via upcoming DLC updates, the game may very well keep you busy for a while. Another positive take that could be realized from the latest release: it’s a relief to know that Travis is back and he’s most likely here to stay.
For a budget No More Heroes experience with more content on the way, Travis Strikes Again is a fun ride.
Like nearly every project from Grasshopper Manufacture/Suda 51 you gotta say here: Love it or hate it. Fans of their previous work get everything you could wish for. If you never played any title the studio has released so far and are not a fan of Indie Games you still get a decent Hack and Slay Co-Op Experience with some unimaginative enemy design and little technical hiccups.

Fans of Travis’ previous adventures may be disappointed by this down-scaling but in reducing the size of his vision, Suda has been able to finally begin adapting it for a modern market.
Travis Strikes Again No More Heroes is a very particular game, never trivial, and does a great job on Switch.

Travis Strikes Again is not a great game in the traditional sense, but if you are a ramen eating, pro-wrestling watching, anime loving, gaming nerd like Travis Touchdown, then you'll play it to the end nonetheless, and have a great time doing it.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a fun and dynamic hack n' slash experience: full of pop culture references, every Suda51 fan should try this new Travis adventure. Sadly the lack of variants in its gameplay might turn it into a predictable experience.

Despite being a bit bland on the gameplay front, Travis Strikes Again is more often than not an enjoyable jaunt back in the shoes of the titular Travis Touchdown.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a unique arcade-style hack-and-slash with sub-standard, repetitive combat and an interesting narrative for hardcore Suda fans, but offers little else for players who are not.
While Travis Strikes Again features a good story and well written dialogues, its reference won’t be understood by players who approach Suda51 works for the first time, greatly undermining their enjoyment of the game.

Travis Touchdown is back with a brand new adventure called Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. This top-down viewed hack n' slasher mixes different kinds of game genres into a psychedelic adventure that plays out like a simple classic arcade game.

This game isn't No More Heroes 3. Suda51 and his team have released this Travis Strikes Again while they wait for the third great chapter of the saga. It's good that this game has a reduced price because it feels fun but simple, like a portable console video game.

I missed Travis Touchdown. I missed Suda51's punk verve. Travis Strikes Again is stylish in all the right ways. It looks cool, the music sounds great, and the game consistently zigs when I fully expected it to zag. At the same time there's not a lot here for players who aren't already devoted to the world of No More Heroes or even the larger Grasshopper Manufacture universe. But if you're tired of hacky attempts at too cool for school meta commentary, Travis Touchdown is here to take gaming post-post-modern.
Travis Strikes Again has some undeniable lows but the No More Heroes charm and the prospect of co-op lifts it up. Whether it's learning the intricacies of individual types of ramen or watching Travis curse at a talking cat, this is something that could only be born out of the mind of Suda 51 and his team at Grasshopper.
A worthy followup to the Wii cult classics, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a fun and action-packed hack-and-slash adventure, when it isn't getting in its own way.
No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Back is not a complete failure, and there's a lot to love here, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was somewhat disappointed. While playing I skipped between being in love with the game's style and personality and sick to death of actually having to play. A fascinating experiment from Suda51, one I'm glad he made, but not the best game. Add a point to the score if you love Japanese eccentricity, take one away if you have no time for it.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes doesn’t invite you in. If you’re unfamiliar with the huge swatch of game history, Grasshopper’s catalog, or even games industry business gossip, this will come off as a less entertaining surrealist action game overshadowed by Suda51’s old work like Killer7 or even No More Heroes.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a flawed experience, yet boasts such as a commendable level of creativity amidst its restrictions that I was unusually smitten with it. The combat is repetitive, the visuals are sub-par and, sadly, there isn't a lot of depth to many of its mechanics.
