Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes[a] is an action-adventure hack and slash video game developed and published by Grasshopper Manufacture for the Nintendo Switch. It was released worldwide on January 18, 2019. It was ported to the PlayStation 4 and Windows later that year. Directed by Goichi Suda, the game is part of the No More Heroes franchise and features series protagonist Travis Touchdown fighting Badman, the father of Bad Girl (a boss character in the first game). The two are drawn into a possessed video game console, and must fight through its various games. As the first title he has directed since the first No More Heroes, Suda collaborated with several indie developers to feature elements from their games in Travis Strikes Again. While part of the No More Heroes series, Suda does not consider the game a direct sequel to the previous title No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, but a fresh start for the character Travis.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising its story and imaginative presentation, while finding the gameplay aspects repetitive. Five months after the game's initial release, No More Heroes III was announced at E3 2019, acting as a follow-up to the game, and a proper sequel to the series, released on the Nintendo Switch on August 27, 2021.[3]
