What it is
No More Heroes is an action game starring Travis Touchdown, an otaku who aims to rise through the United Assassins Association rankings and become its top assassin. This Windows release is an HD remaster of the original game, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and released in 2021. Combat uses a beam katana against groups of foes and rival professional killers, with wrestling moves and a powerful Dark Side ability also available. Between fights, Travis can take part-time jobs to earn money for merchandise, train to improve for ranking battles, and ride his motorbike through Santa Destroy. The game’s combat is described as approachable to pick up while offering greater depth to master. Steam lists it as single-player, with achievements, trading cards, full controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. It is also listed for PlayStation 3 and Wii, though the Steam platform listing is Windows.
