No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
About the Game
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle takes place three years after the original game No More Heroes and its tournament. Players step into the role of the “Otaku Protagonist,” Travis Touchdown in another violent journey to the top of another ranked tournament. Once again, he’s hounded by Sylvia, “the hottest woman alive”, to take up the challenge in the new battle. Travis is not longer going into the tournament just to win sex with Sylvia, as they say, “this time it’s personal".
Gameplay & Core Systems
Like the original title, it features wrestling moves and finishers, known as “Death Blows,” as well as the same blood-strewn, over-the-top violence. Enemies may be slowed down, Travis is able to shoot fireballs, and he can even be turned into a tiger or explode like a human bomb to take out up to a room full of enemies.
Standout Features
- Travis' motel room, or his home, once again features a variety of distractions such as his television, closet, and wrestling magazines.
- No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle also includes more playable characters, including fan-favorite Shinobu.
Modes & Ways to Play
Darkside Mode operating with a kind of in-game slot machine returns as well. There are five “Darkside Modes” which give Travis a variety of bonus powers for a short time.
Presentation & Atmosphere
A HD remaster for the Nintendo Switch was released with improved graphics.
