Hero Must Die is Finally Coming to the West as Hero Must Die. Again. in Spring 2020

[Theswweet]

Holy shit. This was one of those really, really niche Vita exclusives that never got the localization treatment, probably due to being a 2016 JP Vita release and it being harder to justify the translation. Degica is bringing it over with a translation on PC!

Hero must die. again on Steam

The hero defeated the demon Guile, but lost his life in the process. Given five more days to put his affairs in order, guide him to the best possible funeral in this anti-RPG where he grows weaker.

From Wikipedia:

The concept of Hero Must Die was developed by its scenario writer and designer Shoji Masuda based on his experiences of watching his father deteriorate from cirrhosis. The characters were designed by Shunya Yamashita, who both had creative freedom and was asked to adjust many of his designs. The music was composed by Kenji Ito, and was his first time working on a mobile game.

Ha, I remember relentlessly begging NISA for this one on Twitter then giving up and importing.

Will double-dip.

The premise is really interesting...

The hero defeated the demon Guile, but lost his life in the process. Given five more days to put his affairs in order, guide him to the best possible funeral in this anti-RPG where he grows weaker.

Nice will wishlist it for the PC ver

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

Whoa, awesome! I thought we would never see this over here!

 

[Shizuka]

So weird. Hope Degica manages to grab some of those unlocalized NIS visual novels as well.

 

[Iori Fuyusaka]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[TrishaCat]

Hell yeah
I completely forgot about this game. I love how Degica keeps going back and finding random old games and Vita games and bringing them over.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Oh man I remember this game from a million years ago

 

[Shoon]

Have this on Vita but never got around to it! Dope to hear it's coming to PC in English!

Wow, this is the premise I've been looking for. The closest one I've ever played was a particular section in WC3 where you gradually leveled down.

 

[RecRoulette]

Damn, I never thought I'd see the day.
