Looks like hell FROZE over ! This is exactly what I can say about the port of the No More Heroes series to PC. I remember when No More Heroes 3 was released, since I love the hack and slash genre and am a fan of Suda 51, I immediately tried it and by the end of it, it became one of the top 15 best games of my life! After playing the third version, I really wanted to play parts 1 and 2, but unfortunately, when they were first released, they were not optimized at all and did not even support mouse and keyboard, until I realized that this support was added to the game in recent updates, so I quickly tried it. Now, after playing the second part, I have to say that this game series is a masterpiece in the truest sense of the word for me. Desperate Struggle has tried to fix some of the shortcomings of the first part, such as the open-world map, excessive forcing to complete side quest to advance the main quest, the Improvement of the game's combat system, and a few other positive points. However, the game is still not without problems, and points such as sudden crashes and the game being short can annoy the player. In the story section, we will continue to face interesting characters (read: killers) to advance the story, each of whom has an interesting story behind them, and fighting them is truly enjoyable. Speaking of gameplay, it must be said that the flagship of this part is the bloody fights and Travis's unique suplexes! The fights may not have changed much compared to the previous part, their essence has been preserved, but they really cannot be ignored because they are extremely attractive. In the end, it must be said that Desperate Struggle is a wonderful game And fans of the hack and slash games should experience it.

An absolutely great game from better times. The PC port launched in a pretty bad state, but the patches released in 2025 fixed all the PC-specific issues. If you don't care about motion controls, the PC port is the best way to experience the game.

They trimmed alot of fat from the first one. No more open world. Good. No more money grinding. Good. (Almost) no more "real" minigames. Most of them are NES like games now. Not good, I really liked them in NMH 1. Way more action without any downtime. You can just fight one boss after the other and most of them are really interesting. Other than that it's very similar to NMH1. Travis has to be one of my favorite game characters. Good stuff.
