    Combat and story is great, could have done without the open world as it is somewhat shoddy even for a switch game but ur not spending very much time there anyway and the combat story and replayability more than make up for it

This game isn't always perfect but everything is filled with love every touch is filled with Meaning this game every step of the way blew me away. This is a game made by a team that loved everything they made and you can feel it. Its so rare to find a game with so much love and care put into every little detail. I honestly haven't played a game in years that made me feel so much like id feel sad when i was meant to' happy when meant to ect' everything landed perfectly on the story side.

    And on the fun side (the most important thing in a game lets be honest) its great i was smiling the whole time always something fun to do or see. i loved nmh1 and 2 but i LOVE nmh3 this game will be put back into my switch yearly (if not weekly) for a long long time.

    Now i can't say all good so lets just say the bad and get it over with. fps and pop in can be a problem but they never pop up in combat the devs knew where the focus should be and honestly its better than nmh1's open world fps so if you were fine with that you'll be more than fine with this. oh ya arts really good but do i even need to say that.    … Expand

    As a fan of No More Heroes and Suda51's works as a whole, this game feels so rewarding and fun to the point where I'm just happy with it despite its flaws (which aren't even major to me but I can see why they are to other people).

    What makes the 1st game so great to me was that it's story is the most compelling, and the style is unparalleled. NMH1's story managed to be grounded in reality while being insane at times, and it had a distinct look which worked for it.

    The 3rd game is probably the least grounded in reality (as you can tell by the colorful aliens) and unfortunately for me, the customization is probably the weakest in the series (not including TSA). Some people have complaints about the art direction, but even though I liked when it was more cell shaded I still think the game looks nice.

    However, the game's story kept me entertained the whole way through. The comedy in this game is the strongest in the series, like Suda knows exactly what buttons to push to get a kick out of you. While the story isn't nearly as thought provoking, I had a smile on my face for the whole thing.

    Finally, I gotta mention the music. Its gone away a bit from rock sound of the 2nd game and went with more of an electronic soundtrack, but thats not a downside to me at all. It fits the futuristic setting and fits the game's moments. Calm/relaxed when theres downtime and upbeat/intense when there's action. Wouldn't have it done any other way. On a smaller note the combat is pretty fun too but I don't have as much to say about it since its similar enough to the previous games.

    Overall, I definitely recommend this if you're a fan of the series. If you're a newcomer, you might wanna start with the earlier games, and if you skipped Travis Strikes Again, then maybe watch the dialogue scenes if you don't wanna be confused about sudden developments that came from there.    … Expand

    A word of warning though, it definitely caters to hardcore fans as a sequel. I don't know if I'd recommend picking it up if you haven't played 1, 2 and Travis Strikes Again.

    No More Heroes it's one of those franchises that I kinda don't love but can't resist playing it either. Its alluring punk and inspired B-movies spirit are some of the things that keep me getting back to it.

Its alluring punk and inspired B-movies spirit are some of the things that keep me getting back to it. While I'm not sure if creator SUDA51 has achieved the title of genius, at least not yet, one must commend his way of making games, unrefined but with a lot of heart and passion kind of games.

    The story takes place 9 years after the events of NMH2 and apparently 2 years after Travis Strikes Again, Santa Destroy has been invaded by space pirates led by the once cute and seemingly harmless Jess Baptiste VI A.K.A. FU.

    Although the narrative has more cohesion, it is also divided by episodes, literally, episodes with an opening and ending song (both of which are great by the way), these episodes are more or less self-contained stories which is not a bad idea but it is also a double-edged sword since it still separates the main narrative albeit less than the other games.

    It is worth noting that NMH 3 it’s more a sequel to Travis Strike Again than NMH 2 or at least that is my perception as I didn’t and regrettably haven’t played TSA. The story has many key throwbacks to TSA and a few to the numbered entries. If you played TSA then you’ll be rewarded by having faith in Grasshopper and expect some important twists related to that game.

    NMH 3 maintains the simple yet satisfying combat introduced in NMH 1, you have two types of attacks, light and heavy which can be used to connect pretty basic combos and once you completed a full combo the screen will prompt you to use motion controls to simulate a final slash, this slash was satisfying in NMH 1 and 2, and it is still quite satisfying in 3. It’s possible to change the motion controls if you don’t fancy them but I highly recommend keeping them.

    The main dish in this course are the boss fights, they always have been the center of NMH and they still are, every single one of them introduces a new boss with quite different mechanics and gameplay options, some of them have several phases but every one of them surpass your expectations and makes you want to meet the next fight as soon as possible, they make you forget the repetitive process of accessing them, so I assume a big part of the budget and resources were used in them.

    One thing the game excels at and isn’t debatable for me is its amazing presentation and art direction. From the very beginning when the game starts with a 2D mockup game in Beat em’ up fashion and right after that a beautiful and stylish animation kicks in about FU and Damon, from the tutorial cards and its classic bathroom saving scenery, it is just wonderful. The surprises don’t end just there as each chapter comes in with its own pieces of stylization, and every time a new graphic style comes in it is hard to not be smiling all the way through.

    Another highlight from the series is its music, same as the game and maybe Grasshopper philosophy too. It has a renegade/punk spirit that it’s hard to overlook, it doesn’t have a song with the iconic NMH 1 theme but it’s filled with leitmotifs here and there. The music’s so versatile that you also wonder what will be the next tune to hear. Maybe I’m over-excited about the soundtrack but it might be my favorite from the series.

    Sadly NMH3 only features an English dub, it has been this way since the start of the series but I was hoping this time around we Westerners could choose between Japanese or English VA. The result it's in line with the previous entries of the series which might sound great if you liked it, I sure like it back then when I was younger, however, the game has an over the top quality while going from whimsical to serious in many scenes, and it's on the darker more serious parts where the acting seems to miss the mark by far, in general, they sound more like caricatures than characters and that killed the mood of many scenes for me, serious or not.

    No More Heroes 3 still struggles to be an overall great game but it also delivers in different aspects, I don’t think I have played a game as committed with its style as this one. Some of its parts could be tainted with budget restrictions or questionable acting but I didn’t encounter any dull moment in my entire Spicy 23-hour campaign, it is rough around the edges but its edges are quite sharp. Goichi Suda stated that this would mark the end of Travis story for the time being to focus on creating new IPs that belong to Grasshopper and that could be a good thing, maybe 10 years later when the team has acquired more experience still we could finally see a less limited version of what their vision is for NMH 3, but for the time being, it is a satisfying conclusion for the series.    … Expand

    The Open World: the open world isn't that great, but it has some charm to it. There's not much to explore and its filled with side-missions and collectables. It's definitely better than NMH1, but not by much. The new mini-games, side missions, and new wave-like missions are a nice touch but aren't all that interesting and fun. The new enemies in this game are very unique and fun to fight against compared to previous games. The new mechanics such as Death chips, Death Glove Chips, and new Full Armor Travis are nice additions. They make the combat insanely fun.

    The story is quite shallow and works more like a sequel to Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, than to a sequel to No More Heroes 2. It's a great conclusion to the series, but feels a bit rushed at times. But overall, it was a nice conclusion to the No More Heroes franchise.

    Nitpicks and some Criticism: many of the plotlines and such felt shoved in at the last moment. Open world is dull and boring, but they tried to make it fun. We were given a bunch of exposition, but it was never explained. Anways! It's a great final entry in this weird series, and I can't believe it's already over.    … Expand

Para gráficos chulos en 4k tengo otras consolas. Lo que vuelve grande a No More Heroes es su historia, la empatía con Travis Touchdown, la irreverencia y genialidad de Suda, el sistema de combate chulísimo, las épicas batallas contra los bosses y su banda sonora excepcional. Esta tercera parte es un éxtasis visual que refina el combate a un nivel satisfactorio, a mi parecer es el mejor de todos. Además todas las batallas están muy bien optimizadas para lograr los 60 FPS estables. Se me ha enchinado la piel en muchas partes, me he impresionado y hasta se me han aguado los ojos. Me he divertido un montón caminando por el mundo abierto, viendo sus bugs, sus pop ups y algunos glitches. Es diversión en estado puro, sin pretensiones. Para quien nunca haya tocado un juego de la saga, entiendo que se pueda decepcionar y odiar el juego, sobretodo por los estándares gráficos de hoy en día, pero si comprendes que la esencia de estos juegos no radica en eso, encontrarás una joya de culto.

The transitions, the animations, the soundtrack, I literally wanted to cry. I've waited 11 years for this and it is everything I could have dreamed of. The game is gorgeous, UE4 shines in my opinion, of course it has the strange texture load in that is present in any game running on this engine, but they optimized graphics in very interesting ways. The game focuses on the most important scenes at all times and makes sure they look amazing, you lose quality into the distance, but for me it was only noticeable in the open world......but even then the open world "technical issues" are not present, at least from my point of view, also the frame rate seems to be locked at 30... (texture pop-in, but it fixes itself and that doesn't bother me personally). I take into account that the Switch internal hardware can only be pushed so far and Suda's team did an amazing job with optimizing performance in the open world...It feels the opposite of dead and empty, it feels ALIVE. Look at the amount of detail in this world vs. the first, the huge freaking space ship constantly hovering in the sky and the several different locations you can now visit. It's honestly a bit overwhelming! But in the best way possible. I cannot wait to keep playing this game, it's literally all I have thought about since I began. The combat btw, PHENOMENAL, Suda and team have out done themselves, it truly feels like Travis has finally found his groove as an assassin and he is not afraid to show it. Once you get a handle on the controls, combat is so fluid (the frame rate truly shines here with what feels like a locked 60 fps) and the pumping soundtrack makes you want to find the next battle! Seriously, if you are a fan of Grasshopper Manufacture's games, this is the best one they have made to date. It's the best No More Heroes game and Travis's final chapter in the saga. Do yourself a favor and pick this up!!!

    UPDATE: I love how each boss is set up like an episode, it makes the game more fun to play in segments. You can divide it up like you are watching a TV series, (If you are anything like me, I cannot focus long so it drives incentive for me to play each week.) On top of that, the Intro and Outro videos are perfect, the songs are perfect. (The entire soundtrack rocks)    … Expand

    The combat is satisfying, definitely my favorite in the series, only played NMH1 & NMH2, never got to TSA. My only gripe is the open world because it's still janky after the patch but when you're in combat it's a totally different game, maybe it's my eyes but graphics look smoother and better too.

    Suda51 gave us the best no more heroes formula in this game! a healthy balance of grinding for money and fighting between the boss fights, aspects that nmh1 and 2 either exceed or lack. Good gameplay, story, art and music as always, the graphics are a little janky and the textures are always popping in your face, but being a Suda51 game this is part of the charm. Good game.

If you would like to have the latest part of the series, you should gladly take a look at "No More Heroes III" for the Nintendo Switch. Give the game a chance, you won't be disappointed.… Expand

    Cult game director Goichi Suda a.k.a. "Suda51" has made a name for himself over the years by putting out a variety of eccentric titles with a one of a kind punk rock style. What's kept him from breaking out into mainstream success however is that the gameplay of his projects has never quite matched their personality. Well, in the 11 years since we received the last mainline No More HeroesCult game director Goichi Suda a.k.a. "Suda51" has made a name for himself over the years by putting out a variety of eccentric titles with a one of a kind punk rock style. What's kept him from breaking out into mainstream success however is that the gameplay of his projects has never quite matched their personality. Well, in the 11 years since we received the last mainline No More Heroes entry, it's clear Suda used the time to iron out all of the faults and deliver something that will finally allow a much wider range of gamers to embrace his madness.

    Rest assured, things are just as delightfully wild as ever. I missed the grindhouse vibes and sexuality of its predecessors, but III's new more lighthearted tone that parodies stuff like today's superhero blockbuster obsessed culture somehow ups the levels of creativity, absurdity, and unpredictability. There are a plethora of inventive one-off oddball scenarios and the series' typical brand of vulgar, violent fourth wall breaking humor to ensure you never know what's coming next. Only now all the wackiness is supported by some of the best hack and slash action around.

    This has always kind of been a boss rush franchise where the goal is to take out a collection of memorable psychopaths to make it through the story. These challenging encounters are what carried the prior two (and a half) entries in the trilogy, and that's no different here. Where this third chapter improves though is in the downtime spent in-between each big showdown. Once again you'll need to raise funds in order to access the next fight, and there are a number of ways to do so from "Designated Matches" against the (surprisingly difficult) basic enemy types to odd-jobs. Even the most menial tasks like grass mowing or unclogging toilets are unexpectedly fun and Suda at long last figured out how to make the open-world all of this takes place in interesting by littering the map with objective markers, side quests, and hidden collectibles.

    The combat itself also flows much smoother than it did on the Wii due to not having to put up with that consoles awkward control scheme. It reminded of what a revelation I found Heroes Paradise on the PS3 to be. You have a mix of light and heavy attacks, returning "Death Glove" powers that run on a timer from Travis Strikes Again, a gauge that determines the strength of your combos depending on how well you perform, and unique abilities like being able to slow down time after pulling off a perfect dodge. All of which come together to create a complex system with a lot of options. You can even upgrade your base stats with a secondary currency (which is basically just EXP) gained from missions meaning that character progression is deeper than simply grinding to buy a new beam katana.

    All of this makes No More Heroes III the most polished and complete effort from Grasshopper Manufacture to date. I'm not going to lie and say everything is perfect. You can tell there are some aspects that suffer from budgetary constraints, such as the lack of compelling rewards for completing the secondary tasks. Yet, Suda's imagination is in top form to deliver a vision more memorable and gonzo nuts than ever before, and with the always enjoyable test of clashing with bosses being surrounded by stronger supporting content than any time prior there's truly no reason to not give one of Japan's particularly intriguing distinctive minds a well-deserved chance, whether it be once again or as your very first experience.    … Expand

    the lack of actual linear levels leading to bosses like the other games was odd to have absent, instead the player clear 3 challenge levels before fighting a boss.

    Some character stuff was really odd like a previous character for some unknown reason is now a tree (naomi) ?? the game also really misses an oppertunity to do more with its other characters like Shinobu and Bad girl who seemed like she would have a larger part.

    I don't think it has the musicla score of No More Heroes 2, although some tracks do hold up, nor did I enjoy the gameplay variety as much as I did in NMH2, but it feels as though Suda51 and the team took all their ideas from NMH1, and polished them to perfection before releasing it on a new console.
    I will say I certainly recommend playing with motion controls. NMH as a franchise never quite measured up to other contemporary hack n slash titans like Bayonetta or DMC when it came to combo variety and mechanical depth, but it has always excelled at providing a visceral and engaging experience despite that, making up for it with style and flavour, and the act of doing the motions for all of Travis' coolest attacks absolutely accentuated the experience for me.
    You're gonna like this game if you like Suda51. If you don't like Suda's games it may not be for you, so I'd advise you do a little research and see if this is the type of thing to appeal to you. Overall a solid experience that didn't quite live up to its predecessor for me, but was absolutely worth playing regardless.    … Expand

Combat is easily the best in the series taking ideas from the previous titles and combining them to make something unique, fun, and satisfying to play around with. Every gripe I had was easily tossed aside as the amount of love and passion put into this project kept me grinning ear to ear. In my experience there are some visual hiccups and glitches that mostly occurs in the open world, but nothing game breaking that may halt your progress. In fact, the game runs surprisingly smooth at least for the most important sections that being in combat. Anyone who is familiar with Suda51's work will know his writing style isn't for everyone, despite all the craziness that happens almost everything has a reason behind it and is left open to leave players pondering and coming back for more. After beating the game twice I'm still trying to take everything in and some aspects of the game may not be fully realized or appreciated until years later similar to Suda51's best games. What I appreciate most is how Suda handled Travis as a character, going from the loser otaku who didn't understand the concept of fear to a genuine badass who has a lot to lose seriously makes him one of my favorite protagonists in gaming. I could keep going but I'll end it on this, No More Heroes 3 is peak fiction and is easily my game of the year.

I can confirm that all pop in is exclusive to the open world segments and is rarely noticeable when driving between buildings or at high speeds with nitro.

    Let's get the obvious out of the way - the game looks a bit rough, runs a bit rough. Big deal. It's on Switch. This thing can't even handle PS2 era emulated ports at 60 FPS at 720p. And before you go saying "well Breath of the Wild looks amazing and is a much more open world, so it should be doable" don't forget that this is Unreal engine and it's not as flexible as what Nintendo has hidden in their magical development labs. Okay, are we done complaining that performance and visuals are sub-par?

    The gameplay is the best in the series, taking many mechanics from TSA. The story starts off strong but near the end I kind of felt a bit disappointed, but overall, it was silly and entertaining shlock and it kept me hooked. Not that the story was the only thing to keep me hooked, the gameplay and mechanical depth (while not as complex as the likes of DMC or the like [although there are triple SSS ranks for some reason and that is hilarious]) serves a variety of flavors almost all of which left me feeling very pleased. Literally only one gameplay segment in the whole game made me say "yeah, that was lame, shouldn't have included that one" out of like a hundred or something. That's a pretty decent ratio.

    The reason I wouldn't straight up give it a 9 comes down to the fact that I have some minor gripes here and there when it came to the repetitive nature of encounters and lack of traditional levels + the obvious technical issues. I have no idea why you people are complaining over the open world chugging so much - it works - it works very well in fact ( except for Call of Battle - that map feels like some intern made it [or maybe that's the joke?]).

    The soundtrack slaps real hard and I can't think of many tracks that sounded forgettable - maybe the free roaming theme in Call of Battle (which goes toward my theory regarding that whole area being designed specifically to seem like it was made to look and sound bad + be horrible to navigate).

    Each boss battle had me on the edge of my seat and they are definitely the highlights of this game. You just keep on getting bamboozled right up until the end and even if you think you know what's going to happen, it doesn't.

    The overall style is Suda Ultimate, Unleashed, Unshackled, the dude did whatever he freaking wanted, and it still was better than that last time in 2019 when a certain prolific game making person went haywire proceeding to create the world's most dramatic and pretentious parcel delivery simulator (which unlike No More Heroes 3, wasn't very fun to play. This is.)

    So, 8.5's the final score. Worth a buy, honestly, maybe not full price, but if you like fun combat, self awareness brought to extremes, unique and out-there visual designs and straight up sick-boss fights, go ahead and indulge, I know I did.    … Expand

    No More Heroes 3 is most definitely the best entry in the series!    … Expand

    Great game with very interesting and funny twists!
    I already played NMH, NMH II and Travis Strikes Back Again and as a fan of the series, i'm satisfied!

    It's just sad, that a lot of the planned content didn't made into the final game. It's still great though!

    Wow what a game, dont be discouraged to try this game out, it is one of the most stylish and beautiful games I have ever played. The menus, the music, the colors. The combat. It has a few minor issues and the overworld isnt greatly optimized but this is not what the games is about.

    Completly crazy Game. Excellent game design and character. Great work from Suda 51 as ever. I'm waiting for no more heroes 4.

    The combat is very meaty, boss fights are properly varied and the absurd story is one of the strongest points of the game. However, No More Heroes III is very uneven and got stuck in the past decade both in terms of gameplay and design. Actually, the series regressed in some aspects. Goichi Suda obviously ran out of ideas an is chasing his own tail. [11/2021, p.62]

    It’s ironic that the original game used to satirize the stagnation of video games industry, but now, No More Heroes 3 is afraid to leave familiar ground. Still, long-time fans will enjoy this new chapter of Travis Touchdown’s adventures. [Issue#255, p.54]

    Travis Touchdown has grown in his “final installment” of No More Heroes. Because of this, the overall game has a different feel than previous entries and might be why it’s my favorite game in the franchise. Travis is a much more likeable character with some tangible realizations of action’s consequences. Paired with an interesting story, this makes No More Heroes 3 the best entry in the series. If you are a fan, No More Heroes 3 should definitely be added to your library.
