A Suda51 banger. You play as an otaku who becomes an assassin and murders dudes so he can bang a hot babe. Don't be fooled by the premise and fourth wall breaking gags, the game may seem shallow and purposely zany, and whilst it does definitly lean into it's dumb elements, the game is more than that.

The hyperviolence , the way the characters potray the assassination gig/ killing and the game making you do menial jobs so you can afford to keep living out your otaku murder fantasy, plus the way Suda51 likes to play with the narrative and player expectations give No More Heroes a punk edge that makes it special.

In general, the game is awesome. The motion controls are implemented in a fun way, boss fights are GREAT and the world of No More Heroes is enjoyable thanks to its cast of slightly off dudes.
