    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by its complex mechanics and engaging character customization, appealing to fans of idle RPGs despite a lack of visual appeal. While it offers a decent gameplay loop and meaningful features, many players find the progression slow and the interface underexplained, leading to frustration as the game progresses. Overall, it has a mix of enjoyable mechanics and significant drawbacks, resulting in a mild recommendation from users.

    • “It's the Dark Souls of idle games, with its complex mechanics leaving clicker heroes in the dust.”
    • “While the game mechanics of Incremental Epic Hero are reminiscent of clicker heroes, it stands out with its combination of idle gameplay and detailed character customization, providing an engaging experience.”
    • “Decent gameplay loop, but progression is too slow in this idle game.”
    • “The gameplay gets even worse as you progress.”
    • “It has a few neat ideas and I like the relatively slow grind, but without directions, you have nowhere to go, as well as a relatively disappointing prestige mechanic.”

  • grinding
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring players to invest significant hours to progress. While some players find enjoyment in the grind and appreciate the quest system, many note that the game can feel unbalanced and frustrating, especially with certain achievements locked behind particularly grindy tasks. Overall, it appeals to fans of idle and incremental games, but the grind may deter those seeking a more streamlined experience.

    • “It's an auto-battler, JRPG-style incremental game, where progress is abysmally slow even with long hours of grinding.”
    • “It gets really grindy quite fast though, so don't expect to finish the game any time soon unless you spend real money.”
    • “But once you're at about a 370k slime coin cap and start to get all skills to level 200 minimum, you're starting to realize that you only have a few more ways to progress, each more grindy than the other.”
  • story
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is generally perceived as lacking depth but offers an enjoyable experience through its quest system, which features various objectives across different areas. While some players appreciate the original settings and interesting dialogue, many find the missions grindy and repetitive, often requiring extensive completion of tasks like defeating bosses or capturing enemies. Overall, the narrative elements provide some engagement, but the focus remains heavily on the gameplay mechanics rather than a compelling storyline.

    • “The story has a nice original setting for each little area, and even the quests have some interesting dialogue.”
    • “As you play the game, you'll get your hands on those epic coins from daily quests, missions, and bonus codes (found in the ieh fandom).”
    • “Its story, though lacking depth, provides an enjoyable, casual gaming experience.”
    • “Each area has a set of missions you can try to attain, simple as kill __ number of monsters or gather __ number of materials.”
    • “Upgrades often have their own story too, which just means there's plenty to read while waiting for things to pick up speed, or while waiting to get levels or loot while farming.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as sub-par, pixelated, and poorly optimized, leading to performance issues. While some find a bit of charm in the visuals, overall, the graphics are considered a significant drawback, lacking polish and failing to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Graphically it's fun to watch because you can see your player become stronger/more efficient.”
    • “Not the most graphically pleasing game but it has the basics and it’s understandable.”
    • “The graphics are sub-par but do have a bit of charm.”
    • “This game has horrible graphics; everything is pixelated, and it takes so long to progress because of how long resources take.”
    • “This clicker grindfest wouldn't be too bad for what it is if it weren't so horribly optimized. It's making my CPU overheat, and it's got barely any graphics.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is hindered by a significant glitch that affects the display of info boxes and skill icons upon loading save data, requiring a toggle of performance mode to resolve. However, the performance mode itself is highly praised, with users recommending it as an essential feature for idle games with animations.

    • “This version, however, does have a really annoying glitch that needs to be fixed: when loading save data, info boxes and the 'ghost' icon of selected skills will not be displayed, and this continues until you toggle performance mode on then off.”
    • “Performance mode - 10/10 - this should be a feature in every idle game that has any kind of animations.”
    • “I realize that's theoretically the point of an idle game, but usually you can still see some tangible increase in performance over time.”
    • “This version, however, does have a really annoying glitch that needs to be fixed: when loading save data, info boxes and the 'ghost' icon of selected skills will not be displayed, and this continues until you toggle performance mode on and then off.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its immersive quality and ability to enhance the gaming experience, while others find it repetitive or lacking in variety. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the atmosphere, though opinions on its effectiveness vary among users.
