aid in combat, which include the ability to perform psychokinetic throws, the ability to set up a sentry that automatically fire projectiles at enemies in a radius, and the ability to set down a field that slows down enemies within the radius. All skills operate on a cooldown timer. If the player rolls a jackpot on the Slash Reel (represented by a triple seven) the player is able to activate one of two "Full Armor" modes, which boost the player's attack options and allows them to fire projectiles. A third form of the Full Armor is employed for shooting defense missions, a new side activity which take the form of shoot 'em up mecha battles where the player must defend the planet from large scale aliens. The player can return to Travis' motel in between missions to upgrade various stats such as their health and weaponry. Unlike previous entries in the series, character upgrades employ a separate currency from the one that is used to purchase items and enter ranked battles. Scrap parts derived from battle missions can be sold off for additional currency or used at the motel to construct Death Glove chips that provide various unique stat modifiers, and the player can also order consumable items in the form of sushi that give players stat boosts in battle, such as increased damage or cooldown reduction on Death Glove abilities. At the motel, the player can also play minigames with Travis' cat, customize his wearable attire, collect capsule toys from a gashapon machine, engage in a combat tutorial room, or use a time machine to revisit past bosses. Story Setting No More Heroes III takes place in a contemporary setting and is mainly set in the fictional location of Santa Destroy, California; a seedy small town bordering Mexico which has served as the central setting of the series. Since the events of the previous entries the town has undergone urban redevelopment, with high-rise apartment complexes and businesses having spread throughout the town. The redevelopment brought a shift in economy and the construction of an adjacent man-made archipelago collectively named Utopiland. The entire island group is controlled by the megacorporation Utopinia, which has its headquarters stationed in the centermost island at Damon Tower. Alongside Santa Destroy, the neighboring islands of Utopiland consist of Perfect World, a peaceful Americana-influenced suburb; Thunderdome, a salt pan wasteland featuring a Japantown-styled red light district;
