S4 League
S4 League has been released in Korea since 2007 but has recently been brought to North American and Europe by the publisher Alaplaya. S4 League of a third person shooter game that can be tweaked by a few settings to make it work like a first person shooter with some great FPS action.
There are a variety of game modes, which you’ve come to expect in most MMOFPS games, like Death Match and Capture the Flag, which they call Touch Down. In each game there is up to 12 players that battle it out for victory. The coolest part of S4 League if that players have the opportunity to use the environment to their advantage. What does that mean? Well, you are able to perform various acrobatic acts across the map, such as running along and up walls and jumping around from various areas through the air.
The game has a great tutorial system when purchasing new weapons. Basically there is a small licensing test that you have to pass before you can get the weapon. The tests are just short tutorials that teach you the basics of the weapon. These tutorials allow you to use the weapon for free for a few hours, and then you have the option to purchase it if it’s a weapon you enjoyed.
Florensia
Florensia is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG published by Alaplaya. The game conquers something that many other MMORPGs don’t put much effort into, the sea. Florensia offers great looking animated graphics and a special gameplay that they can claim all for their own. The game is truly unique in that it allows you to play on both land and the sea, and you will have to conquer each in order to see any progress in the game. But what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, and that’s where Florensia stands out.
Upon leaving your starting continent you are forced to take to the open ocean and test your sea-legs. But don’t expect your hard earned skills and levels that you learned on land help you on the ocean. Oh no. You will be learning an entire new way to fight, new skills and a new leveling process while on the ocean. But that’s only natural right? You wouldn’t expect to take your sturdy land legs onto a boat in the ocean and think everything’s all fine and dandy.
All in all, Florensia is a great game that will give you many hours of fun and something a little different from the rest of the MMORPGs out there. Give it a shot.
C21 Online
C21 Online is an action MMORPG by Cyber Step Inc. The game features an online world that’s inhabited by advanced robots who have developed hearts and feelings (this is very important, i think). Anyways, the evil Devil Robots numbers have been thinning, which means it’s time for The Good Robots (unofficially titled) to take back the Cosmic Renaissance, which is the entire galaxy in this game.
Basically the game has players taking on the roles as robots, which can be customized by the players using component parts like: head, body, arms, legs and booster parts, as well as decide what your visual appearance and colors look like. The game has various enemies and missions to take part in, and honestly, I’ve written too much, you probably shouldn’t play this game.

Zombie Pandemic (ZP) is all about content — something that Pixel Pandemic Games delivers on in full force. The game boasts over 8,000 locations spanning three different maps, 500 weapons and 150 zombie types. All of this comes to you 100% free-to-play.
ZP is a text-based browser game which requires more thought than the standard run-and-gun zombie games currently on the market. Every action in the game requires the use of Action Points. Theses points, which refill at a set rate over time, are used to navigate to new locations, attack enemies and to loot found goods. Players must plan their moves carefully so as to not find themselves stranded in a zombie hot spot.
Various NPC factions are also scattered about, offering a safe place of rest and an opportunity to purchase new items and sign up for missions. While experience from battle is used to level up your character and their customizable traits, various NPCs also offer training sessions to give your stats an extra boost for fighting the zombie hoard.
Combat is a turn-based system based on stats. To add depth to the battles, various components such as distance from target and weaponry factor in to deal an amount of damage that corresponds to each unique scenario.
The free-to-play zombie game features a top-down perspective of different blocks of the city. All the visuals are fully illustrated giving great detail and style, and every item is examinable. Zombie Pandemic offers an MMO experience that is vastly different than your typical MMO which should serve as a breath of fresh air for most zombie apocalypse gamers.

In the game you choose to be an officer in the navy of either Spain, France or England.

Pirates of the Burning Sea is such a well made game that it’s surprising that not more people play it. There is a real sense of adventure on the high sees. And
Dead Frontier
Welcome to the dead frontier. Caused by a pharmaceutical drug gone wrong, the world is left in a state of chaos with few survivors. It is now up to the players to work together or individually to survive the zombie apocalypse and preserve the human race.
Players customize their avatar through the selection of a profession (class) which can range from Police Officer (stat-boost class) to Scientist (production class) and so much more. From there it will be up to the player to work alone or as a group to traverse Fairview City to complete a wide variety of missions. Besides a zombie outbreak, players must also contend with the clans that dominate the city — some out to help, others out to harm. Outposts are scattered throughout the city to act as safe houses to take a break or to do some business.
Dead Frontier is a free-to-play browser based MMORPG that features top-down gameplay with fully 3D graphics that serve to heighten the tension. Players can expect a steep learning curve and plenty of deaths to begin with, but experience gained from killing zombies levels up players quickly. Those willing to push through will find an extremely enjoyable survival experience that offers a nice change of pace from other MMO worlds.
