✦ AI summary

Hero Tale offers an engaging idle game experience in its early stages with interesting exploration and build experimentation, but players consistently report that progression becomes painfully slow and grindy in the late game, with poor balance forcing players toward magic builds and requiring overnight auto-grinding just to advance a single enemy or two per day.

the pros its good to kill time the cons no respect system except once at level 15 after that you re ducked takes forever to get anywhere, see my hours currently at level 84 and still unable to beat certain areas because i dont do enough damage there you HAVE to go ranged ideally magic because that deals most damage wanting to go melee or archer? too bad you wont deal enough damage but wait there is more you kinda need the extra fairies if you want to progress at more then a snails pace what the game needs a skill reset function so you can adapt your build better a better balance of enemies so you can actually advance without letting the dude auto grind for hours in one area gear that does actual damage and not just decocrative plings against some enemies example in the second city area there is a pirate with a canon that ONE SHOTS you pretty much everything else in that area is fine or the swamp where you from enemies with like 400-1200hp to one with with 3400 that deals 200+ per hit and even with level 84 i got like 1000 hp again skill reset would be needed overall stay away from this game unless you want to grind for countless hours to make barely progress

Hero Tale is fun, engaging, and genuinely interesting during the first few playthroughs. Unfortunately, it is also unfinished, will most likely remain unfinished, and becomes painfully stretched out once you reach the later runs. During your first playthrough, it works well as an idle game. You place your hero somewhere where the income is higher than the cost of consumables, gain levels, develop skills, farm better equipment, look for ways to defeat stronger enemies, and experiment with different character builds. You only get one skill reset, so a bad build can significantly slow down your progress. Still, you can always start over and use your newly acquired knowledge to get through the difficult parts more efficiently. There is a real sense of exploration, although the gameplay is extremely slow and meditative. You can leave the game farming for several days. The story feels rushed, but it is unusual, with some interesting twists and delightfully strange characters. The visuals are pleasant and easy on the eyes. There are no sound effects, and you will probably disable the repetitive music fairly quickly and play something else in the background. Overall, the first playthro…

Not a great game if I'm honest, just not bad enough for a downvote. The talents are a bit lack-luster, the game's pacing is VERY slow to where you must let your pc grind overnight, which is bad game design. The late game power curve is so bad you can only progress essentially a monster or two per day which is bleh. I'm also not really sure if the graphics are AI
