Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes - more info on special abilities, gameplay, and end-game secrets
We now know that we have to wait until Jan. 2019 to go hands-on with Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, but at least a demo was set up at PAX West. The Dtoid gang got to check out the latest build, and shared a few new tidbits.
- Travis has four special abilities that run on a cooldown
- he can fire projectiles out of melee swipes
- Badman is able to heal
- you can build up a meter through combat to unleash combo attacks
- the top-down hack-and-slash action is roughly 50% of the game
- the other 50% is filled with a racing game, a puzzle action game, and a side-scrolling game
- you're always inside the game, but you're able to choose the cartridge or game you want to play from inside it
- there are six games in the Death Drive machine, which is part of the story
- the final 7th stage remains a secret for now
- the only motion control feature is when you're charging up your beam saber
- there are certain special moves at the very end that use motion as well, but details on those are being kept secret
