Heroes Must Die

Heroes Must Die is an action RPG about a young hero forcibly conscripted into a villain’s army. You see classic RPG trials from the perspective of the villain’s side, as you try to survive a world where the villain’s boss, minions, freedom fighters and other would-be heroes are all in conflict. The story follows an attempt to break the world and then save it, told through memorable characters, funny dialogue and unexpected turns.

Combat

Battles use an action-and-puzzle system with simple rules that are easy to learn but difficult to master. The game offers hours of challenging combat and has no inventory to manage.

Style and soundtrack

The visuals draw on 16-bit-era roleplaying games, with detailed backgrounds and expressive sprites. Its soundtrack combines fantasy, orchestral and progressive rock music.

Interactive stage show

Heroes Must Die also has a sequel in the form of an interactive stage show that brings video games to life.
