How it feels
It's a hands-off fantasy grind where you let your hero grow stronger and collect loot while you do other things.

What players say
Players are split on Hero Tale. Some enjoy it as a slow, background-friendly idler with a story, but more say it is an excessively grindy game where the large skill tree only gives stat boosts, forcing hundreds of hours of repetitive playthroughs. Many also note that there is no offline progress, requiring the game to run constantly.
