The Basic Features of Hero Online
Thankfully the sounds of combat and even the sounds of the user interface can help break up the monotony of the general music. Each zone also has its own music that differs from the main area, and we enjoyed the change.
If you have played F2P games before, you are probably already familiar with the click to move play style. Hero Online allows you to re-bind your keys, giving you some User Interface customization in this regard. You can use mouse click to move around or you can use your mouse, or you can even use the arrow keys on your keyboard by default.
Targeting mobs is done by your typical double click method, which is frustrating to some players and quite common with others. Most mainstream MMOs allow you to tab target the bad guys and it can take a little getting used to if you're not familiar with it. Give it some time though and you'll ease into it.
The bulk of the UI is minimalist. There are some hotkeys along the bottom that work for your attacks, a map, and your group window on the left top along with a chat window with options to block all or none of the chat channels in Hero gold. On the upper potion of your screen you'll find more keys that allow you to check your character's statistics, gear, and quest journal.
