Travis Strikes Again, Grasshopper’s previously Switch-exclusive No More Heroes spin-off, will be unsheathing its Beam Katana and swaggering onto PS4 and Steam on 17th October.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, for the benefit of those unfamiliar, ditches the third-person action of previous No More Heroes titles in favour of a top-down arcade romp that melds the series’ entertaining lightsaber-style hack-and-slash combat with a variety of disparate mini-game-like stages, very loosely inspired by arcade games of yore.
Eurogamer’s Martin Robinson, it would be fair to say, was not a fan of Travis Strikes Again when review time came around earlier this year, calling the Switch version a “banal bore of a game…so mired in self-reference it feels like Suda is wanking into the void”.
