Wind Slayer (Windows)

WIND SLAYER is a MMORG set in the continent of Beuritania. Kids join the game as a young adventurer setting out to travel and explore the continent. Along the way, you meet and talk to village elders who will ask you to assist them and the village in various ways. Many of these requests require you to rid the area of some vermin or dangerous creatures. You embark on a never ending journey to rid the continent of evil and once you have gained some experience, will choose to train in one of six adventurer classes as a warrior, archer, rogue, mage, monk, or healer.

Wind Slayer is a graphical 2-D side scrolling MMORPG, and plays just like a platformer, except that you are playing in a multiplayer world with many other people at the same time. You encounter other players, team up with them, and sometimes play against them in team based competition called "PvP" (Player vs. Player). You will also slay monsters to level-up your character and learn new skills.

Wind Slayer's cute and attractive graphics and engaging gameplay make this a fun MMORG for kids to explore. This is a MMORG that is easy to play.The game is almost "MMO Light" as it features simplified versions of almost all major components in found in subscription-based games, such as combat, PvP, questing and exploration, gathering and mining as well as three crafting skills and keeping pets.

Younger kids will find Wind Slayer approachable due to the graphics and simple game play while older children will find the PvP challenging and the in-game events and socialization via the community boards fun. As long as kids don't get pulled into buying things via the item mall, or spend hours upon hours online, this could be a fun game that, best of all, is free.
