There's only one way to the top ranks of the underground world of paid assassins and it's going to get messy.
Lucky for Travis Touchdown, he just knocked off the world's eleventh best without breaking a sweat. The life of fame and fortune couldn't be closer. Heads will roll and names will be taken, but everything is not what it seems.
It all started after Travis was assigned to take on the drifter known as Helter Skelter, the United Assassin Association's 11th ranked assassin.
After a grueling battle, Travis emerged the winner, collected the spoils of battle and claimed his title as the new 11th ranked assassin.
However, the situation turns out to be more complicated than Travis first thought. It is after the mysterious beauty, Sylvia Christel, appears that the real adventure begins.

No More Heroes is a violent action game set in the fictional city Santa Destroy in California. The main character Travis Touchdown wins a Beam Katana (reminiscent of a Star Wars lightsaber) through an online auction and decides to become a professional killer. He has a streak of otaku, not only though his looks but also through his love for J-Pop music, toy robots, wrestling and videogames. After defeating the assassin Helter Skelter in a battle, he is approached by the French woman Silvia Christel who offers him a job at the UAA, the governing body of assassins. He is given rank #11 and needs to kill his way to the top by defeating the other assassins.
The game is set in a free roaming world with open-ended gameplay, similar to the later Grand Theft Auto games. The main goal is to kill the other ten main assassins to progress the storyline, but there are numerous sidequests to earn money and additional weapons. Travis's main weapon is the katana, controlled through the Wii remote while the nunchuk is used for movement. Most attacks are performed using the A-button, while the position of the remote determines how high the katana is held. Others only become available by following on-screen instructions, leading to sword lock breaks and finishing moves. He also has a number of typical wrestling in close combat. There is a targeting system through the Z-button, B leads to a stun move and holding A and B together offers charged attacks.
During the journey, Travis is assisted by Doctor Naomi, a weapons maker, and Thunder Ryu who owns a gym where Travis can boast his statistics based on speed, combos and health. He moves around on foot or on his motorcycle Schpel Tiger. The visual style is similar to the grasshopper's previous game Killer7 with cel-shaded graphics. The game does not take itself serious and the over-the-top combat and animations offer a tongue-in-cheek counterweight for the graphical violence.
A HD remaster for the Nintendo Switch was released with improved graphics.
