Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes

The bad-attitude assassin returns for an all-in-one arcade rampage.

Travis Touchdown has lost touch with reality. So what else is new? Suda51’s beam-saber-wielding antihero has always seen life as a game, slicing his way up the ranks of the United Assassins Association in No More Heroes to become the number one assassin. In Grasshopper’s follow-up, he walked away from the crown: now, in spin-off title Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, he’s sucked into another competition.

That’s not just fancy phrasing – he really is sucked into it. Seven years after the events of No More Heroes 2, Touchdown has entered middle-aged ennui, bored of the UAA, and has moved out to the sticks to play videogames in peace. That is, until Badman shows up with a bone to pick regarding the death of his daughter. Somehow, the two are pulled into Touchdown’s prototype console, the Death Drive MK-II, to race through its many virtual worlds for a prize: a single wish granted.
