Hero Tale Reviews

I played this on mobile already, but enjoyed the game so much, I decided to get the PC version. One of the best idle games I have played. It is fun camping enemies to see what they drop and maybe change your strategy up because of a new piece of equipment. The game actually has a goal, or ending even. Easily worth the price.

a surprisingly fun little game, my only complaint would be to have a sound settings option, as the game can be quite loud with it's OST Edit: Never mind, there is a sound settings option, i am just blind

This is actually a pretty great game, if you need to work and only have something on background... The graphics are awsom, the progression is interesting, the art is artistic... Well, and the price is low ;)

After the initial town, everything is completely inaccessible. This game shouldn't even be allowed on Steam.

Somehow good game but god lord do something with the inventory. I have 9 pants of the same type because you won't stack them. Also the DLC prices are trash. But the game is okay for you to play if you are at work and stuff

Thank you Idler Fest for allowing me the privilege to pay for this game when I already played it for free on my phone

This is a really bad idle game, but in fact it is a great RPG game with speedrun-able replay-ability. The biggest failing point that this studio decided is to categlorize this game into an idle game. This is a grinding RPG game with speedrun potential! If you consider this game as a RPG game, it is in fact a good game in my opinion!

Its a great game, that i played on a mobile years ago. Now its finished and im happy to play it again. New content and cloud-saves for steam are great here. For people who says that this game has slow progression: Its right, because its an idle game. You make some build, figure strategies and leave it be on the second monitor while you play other games, work, eat or walk (or for the whole night). It rewards you when you come back (yes, no offline progression, leave it working, huh) and you progress further. This game has its charm and i love for the atmoshpere. Its my cup of tea.

Has "Idler" tag but you have to be active to play it. Why not instantly start combat when I go to an area? Makes no sense I have to click to "search" for enemies and when I die I'm forced to wait for my HP to go up and click to attack enemies again. Everything about Hero Tale seems nice -- until you play it.

The game being cheap is covering for a lot here. This game has a ton of issues, but ultimately it gets a positive. Issue #1: It's a ported mobile game and it shows. Not many, but two microtransactions that are more expensive than the game itself, you could watch an ad to have those for free on mobile, for 30 minutes. But on steam, no ads, so just flat cost for permanent. Which is fine, but expensive for all you get, which isn't a lot. Issue #2: The character model is hideous and not customiseable [spoiler] at first, it gets better later. [/spoiler] Changing armour does not change the model, you can be in full plate and still look like you're wearing nothing. You cannot choose male or female, you cannot change your hair or eyes or whatever. You're stuck with the base character who is so unloved by the devs they didn't even give him a name. He is just "Boy." Even Kratos' son has a name for all the use it gets. Issue #3: This is an idle game, some might argue it's not, but they're wrong. You have to be idle for a ton of this game. So why is that an issue? There's no offline progress. None at all. Not even the pitiful two hour cap that a lot of mobile games are doing now. There's just no offline progress. I leave it on in the background while I'm doing other things, but I still turn my computer off when I sleep. Which is a good 5-6 (I don't get enough sleep D=) hours of the game doing nothing. And for an idle game, that totally sucks! Issue #4: The writing is quite poor. I'm not saying the story sucks, that's a matter of opinion, objectively, the writing is poor. I don't know if they used google translate for the dialogue or maybe they're just not very good at English. The dialogue makes sense for the most part, but it's poorly written. Issue #5: You have to grind a LOT to progress. There's an achievement for beating the game in 9 hours, which seems extremely unlikely, [spoiler] There's a new game plus though, that helps... a bit. [/spoiler] I'm currently at 33 hours 25 minutes and sure, I've not taken the most efficient rout, but I'm still really far from the end of the game. Early game there was an enemy that, if I'm honest, I probably still cannot beat. I had to skip it by leaving combat whenever it appeared. (It looks like a child who is part tree, you'll know when you get there.) It's possible to skip really difficult enemies, but it sucks that you have to so much, especially with no offline progression. So why am I recommending this game? Well, to put it bluntly, it's cheap. It's pretty bug free, which is a huge plus. The games problems are not errors, they're just issues that I have with the game. If you do play it, I recommend including the price of the first DLC into the cost of the game. (Warrior fairy) because it will help you a huge amount. Without it you'll have to grind roughly twice as much. I also recommend joining the games discord, as the people there can help a lot. But man this game does have a lot of issues. Hopefully some day they are seen to, the devs are still releasing content for this game... So there's hope.
