Really disappointed

The game itself is nice, and for the most part even the other players there are helpful and nice, it has a kids-like 3D design in mind, and there's also a censor/filter system for the chat which doesn't work very well since in many cases blocks also legitimate words. Also, you may find mixed players from different countries, so it can be hard to communicate at times. Development of the game has ceased since Junebud failed for bankruptcy and the current company, Dohi, took over. The plugin required to play the game is also very outdated thus the game crashes or hangs quite often. The worst thing though, is the really poor customer care: my account got banned after one month of playing due to a bot detection. After quite some time of struggling to track down the issue and offering total cooperation with the support person and getting harsh and unreasonable replies in response, it turned out it was a false positive (a Firefox plugin considered cheat cause it could potentially alter the content of the webpage) and the one month ban with threat of lifetime ban was confirmed. This happened just two days after buying lifetime membership, despite the "cheat" being detected several days before. Nice game, really poor support. Stay away and don't waste any money on it. I sincerely don't recommend it.

What’s It About?

In Milmo, kids get to explore a series of islands and learn to fight monstrous creatures, dig for treasure, catch bugs, and help the people that live on the islands. Kids can earn titles and achievements in the game and play with others to help each other in quests. There are many items to be earned to customize characters and events with quest rewards that coincide with real-world holidays such as Christmas and Valentine's Day.

Milmo is available both through its own website for kids ages 10-13 and via Facebook for teens ages 13 and up. It also makes use of the Facebook Login to share passwords. Playing through Facebook provides the player a Facebook Page with tool-tips and the ability to use Facebook credits.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (2 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

The gameplay in Milmo is fairly generic, but actions such as switching to various other implements besides the sword, including the spade to dig or a butterfly net to catch bugs, add a bit of variety and quite a bit of fun. Kids also get to make choices in some quests about whether to help others. This is seen fairly early in the game when players must decide whether to help hunt down a sea monster or help the researcher to study it.

The look of the game will attract younger players, and the ease of the game-play is suited to kids as young as age 10. However, while this game can be played on Facebook, kids ages 10-12 should play it via the Junebud portal. The game continues to evolve, and as the developers strive toward country specific ratings and compliances, they'll also introduce more and more safety features and more transparency for concerned parents in terms of updated FAQs.

Online interaction: The game has been submitted for European PEGI and US ESRB rating and is not COPPA compliant, but has its own safety rules designed to keep children safe. The "bad word" filter is on by default and cannot be turned off.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about Internet Safety as it pertains to the features of the game. Yes, you can add friends to a list and "teleport" to them immediately, but you can also take them off your list if you aren't friends anymore.

  • Families can also talk about setting computer time limits as well as physical health and the possibilities of eye-strain. How much time should be spent playing computer games? What about other activities?

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
