Hero Must Die. Again is a powerfully evocative game in many ways. You play as a hero who, after saving the world from a demon, dies. As a reward, he's granted five days from heaven to tie up his loose ends and, perhaps, have one more tryst with a great love.

It's such a powerful concept, but unfortunately the gameplay itself doesn't follow through on it. In this video I take a look at where the gameplay mechanics and JRPG structure of Hero Must Die don't necessarily pair up with the strong theme and message.
