Having played for a while now, here some remarks about Hero-U:

- It’s completely lacking in the point-n-click adventure department
- It’s fairly light in the RPG department, but lots of activities are governed by your character’s skills
- It does a pretty good job at simulating an environment (just not a very big one) and giving the player free reign, constrained only by time and (lack of) skills.

The biggest point it has going for it (aside from the [Sauerbraten](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/the-2018-what-are-we-playing-thread/2236/359)) is its atmosphere: good-natured, light-hearted, perhaps a bit silly even, with the occasional earnest undercurrent here or there. Quite a difference from most of today’s games with their serious themes and ambiguous morals.
