Hero Tale - Idle RPG

It looks simple, gameplay is very repetitive from the start, growth is an absolute crawl. Watch ads or pay for 3 buffs that don't do much. Ads give 30 minutes. There is nothing idle when you aren't playing. It is idle while playing only for attacks. Still have to sell items manually. Crit attacks require tapping the screen till upgraded to auto. Story is cringe. All in all it's not good. Just a data farm.

Fun, although very grindy. No intrusive ads and playable offline. Has Google Play Achievements and they're quite challenging to get. Graphics are cartoony, but they did put efforts on them; each areas have different backgrounds, not copy-paste used by many other games. Battles are mostly automatic, we only need to tap for blocking damage, to do critical hits and cast spells (which really great with how grindy the game is). Tons of items to collect (chest's storage seems bottomless). Recommended.

Decent game, but not idle at all. You have to keep the app open and running in the foreground, which is very annoying when it can take 30-60 minutes just to grind out a single level. Again, there is zero idle aspect in this game.
