I knew a lot about this game before playing it. I loved its style and I listened to its music really frequently. Point being, I may have some bias.

Half of the game is combat which is simple enough and repetitive. The other half is some also simple mini-games to grind up cash. Despite me calling the combat repetitive, it never made me reach the point where I was dreading doing more. The closest I ever got to that point was when the game threw too many of a tankier enemy at me at once. As far as money grinding goes, it seems set up so you will never have to do an excess of grinding unless you want to buy everything. I had to do a little extra towards the end and while it was tedious, the end didn't feel too out of reach.

This game has flair and for myself that gives it a huge buff. Some things that in any other game would make me groan end up being tolerable and don't turn me off at all. If you think you are going to enjoy No More Heroes when you see a bit of it, you likely will. Travis is a unique character and the game is pretty funny.
