Well it's a lot more linear as well.
Basically take No More Heroes, take out the open world, and each level before you reach the boss is essentially fights like the mission based ones in No More Heroes, with the occasional mini-game and motorcycle-like segments in No More Heroes.
Enemies are more varied like No More Heroes 2 was like, and well, the combat is a bit better than No More Heroes, but it's not anything ground breaking or fantastic, just basically what you would expect from Suda51.
