No More Heroes Review (Nintendo Switch)
After being ranked #11 in the United Assassins Association, Travis Touchdown puts his trusty beam katana to the test as he faces off against the world’s top 10 assassins in deadly battle. It’s a long way to the top, but this all-American otaku won’t stop until he’s the #1 assassin, baby!

- 2.1GB download size.
- Two difficulties-Sweet and mild.
- Motion control support.
- Can Invert axis.

- Death blow-when an enemy is dead you get a quick QTE and if successful you get a set of 3 slots spin, match them for a bonus attack/special.
- Opening tutorial split into sections and each of them is optional.
- Beam sword aka lightsaber loses power with attacks, you go into recharge mode to umm recharge it by sliding the right stick sideways.

Cons:
- A lot of Annoying QTE moments and feels like anything and everything has a QTE.
- Combat has a slight learning curve.
- First impressions are just a lot of tutorials.
- Stop-start action.
- Screen gets overly busy and distracting.
- Slow menu transitions.
- Interaction points don’t always describe what they do.
- Combat is slow and not that fun as you do the whole death blow sequence, it drags it all down.
