What is Hero Tale?

Hero Tale is an idle RPG set on a medieval fantasy island, where a fairy helps your character become a hero. You choose map tiles for battles, collect loot, train melee, ranged, or magic skills, spend points in a skill tree, and help characters with quests while the game can run in the background.

What players say

69% of 429 reviews are positive

Some players enjoy the idle progression, but many say later progress becomes a grind and skill-tree choices have little impact.
