@r_hjortYeah, after Killer is Dead (kinda fun but ultimately a disappointment) I haven't followed him much. I know some people liked that free to play Souls-like game he put out a couple years ago? He's almost like Tarantino, Killer7 and Pulp Fiction were these groundbreaking masterpieces and since then they've been doing tonally similar stuff that doesn't push the envelope too much (though I love all of Tarantino's movies except for maybe Jackie Brown and Death Proof). Flower, Sun, and Rain = Reservoir Dogs Killer7 = Pulp Fiction No More Heroes 1 & 2 = Kill Bill 1 & 2 Shadows of the Damned = Death Proof Lollipop Chainsaw = Kill Bill again? Lollipop Chainsaw was actually pretty cool and unique ...maybe this theory doesn't hold up. Suda needs to make a Django Unchained. |

So no one actually played it?!
I just grabbed it from the libe and played through the first cartridge. Kind of digging it! Suda remains one of the only people that can make me give a shit about story in a game, and Travis Strikes Back definitely has that subversive, meta, player-mocking, America-by-way-of-Japan No More Heroes charm. Which is cool. I hadn't even realized how much I'd missed it! And the series art and musical themes are still hella stylish. I just like the overall vibe.
As for the actual brawler gameplay, it's solid. I kind of wish that it were flashier and snappier for how much of it there is, but it works, and has some interesting layers with the special move chip system. And gameplay was never really the reason to play NMH.
So, yeah, some interesting characters and dialogue, so far. Lots of clever nostalgic touches and callbacks which made me chuckle. It's kind of a game for geezers like me! After each cartridge, you have to play through a monochrome, mostly text-based visual novel. The first chapter was oddly enjoyable! |
