No More Heroes (Japanese: ノーモア★ヒーローズ, Hepburn: Nō Moa Hīrōzu) is an action-adventure hack and slash video game series developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and was created by Goichi Suda, also known by his nickname Suda51.

There are numerous part-time job side quests to earn money which can be spent on weapons, training sessions, clothes and videotapes.

In No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, the open world is replaced by a map screen, and the minigames that Travis can do to gain money and become stronger are 8-bit style games, in genres including action, puzzle, and racing.

In addition to attacks with the beam katana Travis can kick and punch, and when enemies are stunned he can throw them with a number of professional wrestling maneuvers, done by manipulating both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

Upon successfully killing enemies, Travis has a chance to activate a "dark side mode", represented by a random roll of a slot machine.

Starting from No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, the series introduced additional playable characters such as Shinobu Jacobs and Henry Cooldown, who control differently from Travis.

The game also expanded Travis' move repertoire by allowing him to switch beam katanas in combat and introducing the "Ecstasy Gauge", which rewards the player with passive boosts when successfully dealing uncontested damage, as well as offering a unique dark side mode on command.

Introduced in Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, is the ability to equip "Skill Chips" (named after Gundam models) that allow the player to utilize an array of special attacks, ranging from a scattergun-type blast to an orbital laser.

Realizing that he has the opportunity to make it to the top, he sets out to secure himself the coveted position of number one assassin in the UAA.

He encounters a huge artificial metropolis floating in the sea, and a mysterious flying object high above the city.
