Hero Tale Level up while you live

Hero Tale is an idle RPG built as a background companion. Start it up, let your hero fight on their own, and go do other things. When you return, there are levels waiting and rare loot to sort through. The rhythm is simple: battles, upgrades, a look at the map, back to whatever you were doing. One thing to know before you settle in: the game only progresses while it is running, so it earns its keep on a second monitor or during long stretches at the desk rather than overnight. If that pace suits you, it becomes a pleasant routine, a few decisions here and there while the experience quietly climbs.

The talent tree holds almost 300 nodes, and how you walk it is the real game. Want your hero to heal faster than enemies can hurt them? There is a path for that. Prefer striking things down before they get close, or simply being too tough to scratch? Also there. Combat skills grow with use too: every hit with melee, ranged or magic levels that style up, making you faster and stronger where you actually fight. Later runs add dark skill points on top, so each new playthrough starts a little differently. You decide what kind of hero this is going to be.
