## About No More Heroes

No More Heroes is a 2021 action game developed by GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE INC. featuring an open-world setting where players follow assassin Travis Touchdown through a bounty-hunting career structured around an assassin-ranking system. The game mixes combat-focused progression with weapon upgrades, training exercises, and various side jobs that break up the main missions. Reviewers highlight that each mission tends to have its own particular gimmick, boss fights require unique approaches, and the combat loop becomes increasingly addictive as players advance. Players describe the overall experience as challenging, dark, and funny in equal measure, with a grind that feels oddly satisfying. The campaign offers a medium-length solo experience priced at $19.99 USD, currently holding an 83% positive rating from 1432 Steam reviews, and is not supported on Steam Deck.
