Following the impressive reception of No More Heroes, Grasshopper Manufacture embarked on the creation of a sequel which hit the market a few years later.
This installment carries on the narrative of the captivating and morally questionable protagonist, Travis Touchdown.
However, it is worth noting that this particular game in the series does not have the original director at the helm.
Luckily, No More Heroes 2 received positive feedback, with some reviewers even favoring it over the first installment.
The game was commended for its unique and improved gameplay compared to its predecessor. However, it does have its flaws, such as subpar graphics in certain areas and excessive repetition of certain voice lines.

No More Heroes 2 Gameplay

Taking place three years after the events of the first game, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle continues the franchise’s game design in a natural progression.
The combat in No More Heroes 2 is largely similar to its predecessor, with the exception of a new feature that allows players to switch between beam katanas during combat.
Additionally, the cumbersome overworld from the previous game has been replaced with a more streamlined menu-based fast travel system.
While some may argue that the combat doesn’t undergo enough changes, overall it still provides a satisfying gameplay experience. If you enjoyed the first No More Heroes game, you’ll likely enjoy this sequel as well.

Unlockables
- Prequel bonus
To unlock all the masks that you have previously obtained on the walls of your room in No More Heroes 2, you need to have a saved game file from the original No More Heroes.
- New Game +
After successfully finishing the game and saving your progress, you can start a new game using the cleared saved game file. This allows you to begin the new game with all the equipment and items you had acquired during your previous play-through.
- Memory Of Demon ability
In order to unlock the Memory Of Demon ability from the original No More Heroes game, players must play mini-games to reduce Jeane the cat’s weight to less than 11 pounds.
Once unlocked, this ability allows players to perform a powerful slash attack by shaking the Nunchuk.
However, it is important to note that using this move consumes more energy from the beam katana than usual.
- Avoiding death
If Travis’ health is depleted and he starts to lose balance, you can save him from dying by vigorously shaking the Wii-mote and Nunchuk. This action will restore a small portion of his health.
However, it’s important to note that this can only be done up to five times and will not work if Travis is already lying on the ground when his health runs out.
