Не открывается тупо в феи возможность купить. И так же не восстанавливаются старые покупки. Покупал феи уже, когда играл первый раз, сейчас решил поиграть заново, скачал игру. Ничего не происходит после попытки восстановить покупки, хотя аккаунт тот же. ### 5/5 — 5 звезд *2026-02-17* Игра просто отличная, 10 из 10 Приятная графика, приятное звуковое сопровождение, система прокачки героя сбалансированная и затягивает НО! Уже очень давно нет обновлений и нововведений, хотя игра супер и есть куда развивать Надеюсь, что ее не забросили и игроков еще порадуют обновлениями, а игроки в таком случае порадуют разработчиков покупкой фей 🪄 ### 5/5 — Игра супер, НО *2026-02-01* Займетесь чутка хотя бы игрой пожалуйста, глобал обнову хотябы одну 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Needs better Data saving, cloud saving unreliable… *2026-01-26, version 1.4.18* This game is great, literally the only thing wrong is saving Data, otherwise this game is easily better than most in my personal opinion. Cloud saving is unreliable and I‘d rather you have Game Apple/Google Login implemented so that data is sure to be stored safely and attached to your google account.. Otherwise cloud save throws all your progress to the wind when you get a different device. ### 2/5 — Eh. Needs a balance overhaul *2026-01-01, version 1.4.18* There seems like there is a decent idle rpg in this but very few will ever get to experience it due to the staircase progression curve of “get strong enough to kill the next tier of enemies and progress the game several steps and then you have to sit there and grind for an absurdly long time before a single inch of progression can be made.” And then repeat so it becomes a cycle of 10% doing several things 5% grinding for the next tier of gear and then 85% grind in one spot mindlessly until you can progress. It’s a flooded market and there are hundreds of idle games that do progression better. I will say the one good thing is ads are not predatory which is always nice ### 3/5 — Buffed enemies *2025-12-13, version 1.4.18* I watched videos online of other people playing this game, they have little to no trouble fighting and surviving, but everything is unfairly different now. I am multiple levels above them, i can use the same gear, i mastered everything yet i can’t win and they do it with ease. Conclusion, you made the game ridiculously harder, and it’s unfair. Why. ### 5/5 — Настоящая игра *2025-09-22* Очень мало настоящих игр, тем более мобильных. Это пример собственного подхода к игрокам/клиентам, я обязательно куплю одну из фей и поддержу проект деньгами, но после полного прохождения. Я уже один раз прошёл игру и начал новую с плюсами за прохождение. Хочу посмотреть остальное и когда уже окончательно интереса не будет, тогда, не хочу с бафами играть. Игра супер! Спасибо разработчикам. ### 3/5 — Не грузит бонус *2025-06-29* Бонус за рекламу не прогружается полностью, и ничего не меняется со временем ## Frequently asked questions about Hero Tale ### What is Hero Tale - Idle RPG about?
