GayGamer writes: "'PUNX NOT DEAD' is how No More Heroes 2 begins, does that mean that it can't mature? That's the question posed to players in Suda 51's latest acid trip of a game that ventures back into the completely insane world of Santa Destroy and puts players into the designer shoes of Travis Touchdown once more. A lot has changed since players had their first run in with our favorite beam katana toting hero... the city of Santa Destroy, the collage of foes in the United Assassins Association, and maybe even Travis himself! With the theme of revenge placed in the forefront and even more asses that beg to be kicked, how does this sequel measure up to the lofty expectations of fans wanting more?"
Half-Glass Gaming: "Travis Touchdown is awesome, and he’s a huge reason No More Heroes is so great. That said, series creator and director Suda51 said he would be open to making a spinoff starring fan-favorite Shinobu. And though the series’ fate isn’t entirely up to Suda [as he doesn't own the IP], a sans-Travis entry could definitely work."
NMH seems to revolve around Travis like DMC revolves around Dante, GoW revolves around Kratos, Ninja Gaiden revolves around Ryu, and Bayonetta revolves around well…
It wouldn’t feel right to have these kind of action games to not have their main character in the lead role or not present at all
If PC is your only platform for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, don't pass it up; if you have a Wii or a Switch, grab it there.
Following a port to the Nintendo Switch in 2020, SUDA51’s cult hack-and-slash games receive a surprising but welcome PC release.
