Gameplay
No More Heroes III's gameplay mostly consists of third-person hack-and-slash elements in which the player controls Travis Touchdown. Using his Beam Katana, the player is able to use strong and weak attacks which charges the Tension Gauge. The longer a combo lasts; the higher the Tension Gauge is, leading to more damaging attacks. Once the enemy is at a low enough health the game prompts the player to do a "Killer Slash" an attack that cannot be dodged or blocked by the enemy, instantly killing them. After each kill a roulette will roll on screen, which can give the player money, stat bonuses, or "Full Armor". The Death Glove returns from Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes and can have the abilities attached to it changed to fit any play style. Travis can upgrade his stats before and during a rank battle with the usage of sushi bought before hand.
Between Rank Battles, the player must earn money to pay off an entry-fee to enter a ranked battle by completing odd-jobs around the open-world, which returns from No More Heroes. These jobs grow increasingly difficult with more obstacles and/or less time to complete them.
