I mean, the guy really need a proper disposal device. Would have saved him a LOT of trouble (instead of casually tossing the MP3 and the wand without even checking their destruction)
Kale honestly just doesn't want to do any real work either. He had everyone around him work on his project to subconsciously control people to want his products instead of making things better. He literally decides to blow himself up because it's all too much work. He presents serious and competent but is honestly terrible lol
Yeah I was like "so he beats them up unconscious? Nah, just belt is left, Rekka exploded" - "WHAT!? How is everyone so nonchalant about it - especially Chai???" The game feels so light-hearted and then that? Would have it been so hard to just show bosses staggered / groaning on the ground / incapacitated?
Considering they wanted to murder Chai simply cause they installed him a "defective" prosthetic, this is basically a self-defence. Also, not six but three. Korsica became an ally, Zanzo is unconscious and Roquefort buried himself under his own gold.
@@redbaron9420 Gold is extremely heavy, though. But then again, this game isn't great at adhering to the laws of physics, since Roquefort swam through it like Scrooge McDuck
I agree, cyborg werewolf that's totally awesome. I wish there was a game that had bosses like that, you know, more cyborg monsters from other mythologys.
Rekka as a boss fight is so funny to me. We have female Senator Armstrong, with the mannerisms of Recoome from DBZ, with DBZ Broly's death animation, all in a rhythm based beat'em up like No Straight Roads, with DMC rankings, in a cyberpunk world, with a massive helping of Persona 5 vibes, in the visual style of Slugterra. It's great.
This game just looks beautiful. Why are companies scared to take this artistic route? The humor and art style just works. Voice acting is great. It's just... Looking like a fun experience.
Corporate is usually out of touch with things I've observed. And also money, because making mediocre games works for some reason so probably better to not bother
cause even if it gets good critics this games never get the recognition they maybe deserve, specially having to compete against giants that will just beat them in sells. I didnt even know that there was a game of the same style called "no stright roads" that came in 2020 and actually looks quite good but as I said i dint even know it even existed until just today that i fount it casually in a video like this one. its just like those really good movies like Iron giant,treasure planet,rise of the guardians... movies that people loved and still love but where not that good on ticket office sometimes cause they got released at the same time as movies that got all the attention and the money here its the same the idea its not bad, people like it but the games that use this idea didnt show off like other titles like elden ring,god of war,hogwarts legazy....
@@someonewhospams0w0inchat16 hm? im not crying about it, im just saying it, analizing it, im not a particular fan of this kind of games i mean i didnt buy HiFI rush and i will not do it probably. still i think is a cool game and that this kind of games deserve to be more popular.
So we have a woman who could probably destroy people IRL, a living JoJo reference, a Scottish redhead with less R34 than I expected, a pompous performer who craves attention, a Persona 5-like boss, and Roger Craig Smith. Wow what a lineup…
dude itd be so sick if they release a dlc with a drummer instead of a guitarist and they play with more advanced rhythms like polyrhythms and swing time. im praying we get any extra content with this game its a gem.
I find it hilarious that it was cause of him he pretty much caused his entire plan to crumble to dust. If he simply put it back none of the events in the game would have happened. It's kinda interesting to think about.
A mistake I see some people make during the arms phase of the Kale fight is to attack Kale instead of the arms. Each arm may take 2 stuns to break, but each break takes a quarter of Kale's health, heck, 50% of the whole bar for the Z-shield arms.
If you look closely during the boss zoom chat, you’ll notice Korsica is the first one to notice Chai’s on screen instead of Rekka and that after Chai presents Rekka’s belt, Roquefort’s monocle pops out.🤣😂🤣😂
This game is _heavy_ on the details. Ya know, I kinda wonder if Korsica actually had a decent relationship with Rekka, since she was the first to notice her absence, sounded concerned when asked where she was, and looked shocked when Chai held up her belt (though you can only see one of her eyes ghrough Chai's arm, lol). 🤔
Honestly this game feels like No straight roads but with a cool art style! Don't get me wrong NSR has nice art, but i feel like this art fits the music more.
@@Tortilla_Pizzeria_Pixels I think "man or woman" was referring to how Chai will beat up women just as readily as he'll beat up men. Equal rights, equal fights.
A more lighthearted NMH, though the murdering of almost every boss is still there, but if I had to be honest, if you gave Suda51 as much creative freedom and budget as he wishes he would probably make another Killer7
I love how at 20:56 it says high level because people are too stupid and would leave the documents on their desktop, and that's exactly how they found it.
41:57 I love this, from a funny moment to an epic moment because of the music that become even better from the past rounds to the third round against Korsica. Masterpiece.
I love that the attacks in this game lock to the beat of the music Also the fights kinda remind me of Scott Pilgrim fight scenes lol Also also. Chai is kind of annoying
I've seen action rhythm games before, but to the point that even your combos are attuned to the beat, dare i say, not even No Straight Roads went that far
Rekka’s soundtrack is my personal favorite. As for Mimosa, I kinda wish they did more segments where we had to mimic her. Reminded me of old music games on the PS.
So, you probably already know at this point but Kale's voice actor is Roger Craig Smith, very well known for voicing Ezio from Assassin's Creed and Sonic from... Well, Sonic
So they all humans with robotic enhancements but they still... explode? That's kinda gruesome, also should we talk about how Peppermint aided in the murder of her dad
You could argue Roquefort and Zanzo could've survived given that - Zanzo only took a slap into a wall and was out for the count. - Roquefort was buried in cash, but his large exoskeleton was literally swimming through it moments beforehand.
@@wanderingaceminecraftandmo8034 To be blunt, there's no indication Zanzo survived, lol. If he had, we would've heard SOMETHING about him in the rest of the campaign (Kale would still need a head of R&D afterall), yet he doesn't seem to be active at all. So either he died, or went into hiding for no reason 😆
The game is really good and the idea is really cool, but still i love No straight roads just because it has a beautiful meaning, the music is super good (you can chosse any remix) and the caracters i love them
When Rekka was done done for I was like... *Did she... did she just blew up like a Megaman ZX boss held in still mid-air* God damn... And it was mostly all external beating up... These guys have a nuke in them all each ?
what is with the weird words in the Boss tital cards?, Korsika's had Patatra, Mimosa has Stone....ok hers is mostly blocked by her wings but you get my point.
I love the fact that Kale is this serious, competent villain that's just *done* half the time cause he's surrounded by complete goofballs
I mean, the guy really need a proper disposal device. Would have saved him a LOT of trouble (instead of casually tossing the MP3 and the wand without even checking their destruction)
@@thibautisserant if you're talking Chai's wand, that was built into the hand for the waste disposal job.
The MP3 player is on Kale though.
Considering how friggin hard he was as the final boss, this sums him up prefectly
@@wanderingaceminecraftandmo8034 I believe he means when he kicked it over the ledge to fall into the lava
Kale honestly just doesn't want to do any real work either. He had everyone around him work on his project to subconsciously control people to want his products instead of making things better. He literally decides to blow himself up because it's all too much work. He presents serious and competent but is honestly terrible lol
Love how casual everyone is about Chai straight up murdering six people
Yeah I was like "so he beats them up unconscious? Nah, just belt is left, Rekka exploded" - "WHAT!? How is everyone so nonchalant about it - especially Chai???"

I did get a little shocked when Rekka just exploded. "And now for her dramatic collapse--oh, nope, dead... Uhh, okay..."
@@redbaron9420 I mean you would still expect something a bit more than Chai being just "Rekka?" - "Yup, killed the b*tch"
@@redbaron9420 Gold is extremely heavy, though. But then again, this game isn't great at adhering to the laws of physics, since Roquefort swam through it like Scrooge McDuck
Roqueforts "reveal", fight, and music was all absolute perfection. Easily one of the coolest bosses ive fought in a game.
I agree, cyborg werewolf that's totally awesome. I wish there was a game that had bosses like that, you know, more cyborg monsters from other mythologys.
@@emanuelcampelo1199 cyborg accountant werewolf
Yeah, an absolute baller concept.
With a soundtrack that slaps harder than an abusive parent.
@@emanuelcampelo1199 i agree too
Furries, it's your chance to shine
Mimosa's whole level felt like I was playing through a Persona 5 palace again
More like Space Channel 5
How fitting since Chai's voice actor played Akechi.
This is even better than Foddersona 5
For me it was totally a reference to Space Channel 5.
@@estenne8061
So this is where Akechi went after 5.
Rekka as a boss fight is so funny to me.

It's great.
I knew Project Armstrong wasn't a random name!
With a splash of Space Channel 5
Not to mention her grab move is a clear reference to Potemkin Buster
Wow people remember Slugterra
Finally someone mentions NSR

HEAVENLY
REKKA
BUSTAA!!!!
*so your saying you checked if they had r34.*
Hey man, it's been 5 days, wait for this game to blow up in the next month or so and you'll get your "content" for her.
For Korsica, I'm gonna say... Just give it a week or so.
Wait really?
Zanzo is probably got to my favorite out of all the villains, he’s literally a walking JOJO reference!!!😂😂😂😂
And Kale's Japanese va version has familiar voices...reminds me of a certain JoJo character as well lolol.
Bro has jojo poses and even done the torture Dance- l
Edit: and I forgot he’d done the barrage and DIO pose..
@@manuelabreu1444 LOL 😂
Zanzos japanese va is also Okuyasu

Gotta agree with you on that, a drummer with a portable drum kit ingame would be so cool
wouldn't that just make it No Straight Roads then?
That's just Korsica
What about a trumpet player?
@@DNightingale41 This comment right here. This person knows cool games.
3:38 little did kale didn't know that hunk of junk become his downfall
I find it hilarious that it was cause of him he pretty much caused his entire plan to crumble to dust. If he simply put it back none of the events in the game would have happened. It's kinda interesting to think about.
He thought he was too big to fail.
Gotta say, the Irony of Kale being the reason of Chai becomming a "defect" is golden.
That Uncle Scrooge money bin arena was not expected. The boss even swam around in it!
A mistake I see some people make during the arms phase of the Kale fight is to attack Kale instead of the arms. Each arm may take 2 stuns to break, but each break takes a quarter of Kale's health, heck, 50% of the whole bar for the Z-shield arms.
I had that issue as well.
I'm not sure, if it's a design flaw or people trying to beat the boss.
That parry counter can save so much time, just do that and the regular strong attack combo. You're done with that phase before you know it.
You can break the arms in one shot if you use Y,X,Y move when they’re stunned. It does enough damage in the shortest time
@@loganreano1910 good to know.
Thanks a lot
Gotta love Zanzo just being a huge Jojo reference
JOJO REFERENCE
I love how roquefort is literally the wolf of wall street
I think that’s the joke

Exactly
Feels like it was by Cartoon Network
Yeah that's what I thought too
There are good rhythm games like Mad Rat Dead (platformer) and NecroDancer (turn based strategy)
Bro kale made his own downfall when he threw chai’s iPod away and onto chai.
Roquefort = my undisputed favorite boss. love his design and his music.
Mimosa reminds me a lot of the Alligator voodoo boss in Sly Cooper. I'm getting the same goosebumps from this.
You mean Ms Ruby
@@damonlam9145 Mz Ruby was awesome. (The Z is important)
It’s funny how you don’t really fight Zanzo but close enough 😂
His budget was the boss fight
I love how Roquefort can swim through money like Scrooge McDuck

It’s like someone finally gave Suda51 the budget to finally make a No More Heroes game like he’s always wanted.
A more lighthearted NMH, though the murdering of almost every boss is still there, but if I had to be honest, if you gave Suda51 as much creative freedom and budget as he wishes he would probably make another Killer7
48:29
Is it weird that when I saw the shark suit, my mind went: “Kaggy?”?
I love how at 20:56 it says high level because people are too stupid and would leave the documents on their desktop, and that's exactly how they found it.
Am I the only one getting DIO vibes while fighting Kale in japanese dub(Yes I know he has the same voice actor as DIO)
My my Rekka, you were a long way to your retirement 😶
This game's graphics and animation literally rocks
41:57 I love this, from a funny moment to an epic moment because of the music that become even better from the past rounds to the third round against Korsica.
Masterpiece.
1:13:34 My cat when a stranger wants to pet him 🤣
Good god, it's like Space Channel 5 all over again! I'm 100% buying this one.
the thing i like abt this game is all cutscenes looks like a show💀
💀
I honestly thought this was a netflix show when i first saw it in my social media feed😅😂
I just realized that the password for turning Spectra off was "PASSWORD"! XD
Given you still needed *Six* Executive Keys to Activate the process, I don't think Kale was bothered to place an _actual Password_ on it...
I was so disappointed that you couldn't do Mimosa's boss fight in the shark suit !
(Also, was Chai trying to look up her dress at 52:44 ?)
There's always mods
You can buy the suit once you finish the game
I love that the attacks in this game lock to the beat of the music
Also the fights kinda remind me of Scott Pilgrim fight scenes lol
Also also. Chai is kind of annoying
I mean he's supposed to be the typical snarky annoying teenage protagonist
@@alexanderstottlemyre3679 which could work except he’s 25 lmao.

Also starting to use "punchability" to describe characters
Still better than the forspoken maincharacter, she was mean spirited and spiteful lol.
apparently, the people who made this, made the Evil Withing series.
I feel this studio might be something to look at.
Oh my god I just noticed that all the characters are named after different types of tea drinks or coffee flavors that’s actually kind of clever😂
Why does is sound like Roger (VA of Sonic) is the villain's VA? Like did he just get fed up of bein' good? 😂
Game looks banging
There is another ending if you beat the 16 challenge rooms that are unlocked after beating Kale
hi fi rush totally needs to be an actual show like seriously
Watching Kale fight, all I could picture is him turning into one of the Unicorn Gundams with that final power up he did
Zanzo's amount of jojo references: YES, the embodiment of it
thanks for including cutscenes
good video loved it!
Kale has that Handsome Jack energy when he finally gets serious.
21:46 I guess you could say... Rekka got REKT
I've seen action rhythm games before, but to the point that even your combos are attuned to the beat, dare i say, not even No Straight Roads went that far

Rekka is a certified glue eater
My favorite boss was Roquefort
He's got one of the cleanest intro

*Did she just pull a Bordelands Steve?*
I won't lie I love Korsica's accent
the artstyle and gameplay look fun

Omg who's the voice actor for kale, he sounds so damn familiar, but oh my Lord this game is BRIMMING with creativity and character
So, you probably already know at this point but Kale's voice actor is Roger Craig Smith, very well known for voicing Ezio from Assassin's Creed and Sonic from... Well, Sonic
I knew there was a reason why Kale sound cooler than he should
1:03:06 The roasting Is real x'D

Now that's
wait for it..
Using your head!!!!
Bang in four times
If I knew you could use the magnet ability to teleport to the bosses, their battles certainly would've been easier to beat for me.
Any idea when the games music will be released on Spotify or iTunes?
Glad to see that No Straight Roads isn't alone anymore
So they all humans with robotic enhancements but they still... explode? That's kinda gruesome, also should we talk about how Peppermint aided in the murder of her dad
Kale is her brother, not her dad. I know its weird given how much of an age difference they seem to have but its the way things are.

There is no way Left shark isnt a Vanoss reference from the old days

Nice
Is it just me or does kale give handsome jack vibes
We he’s Handsome but he certainly isn’t Jack
Man this really reminds me of NSR
bro a action platforming rhythm game hybrid??
COUNT ME IIIIINN!!
after beating Kale myself, I cringe seeing how this youtuber defeated Kale, not destroying his arms when he had the chance to.
Gotta remember to replay this in Streamer Mode.

So salty that this isn't for PS4/5. Hoping that it'll go the route of stuff like Cuphead and come to other consoles in the future.
