Oct 18, 2012I must admit that I was a bit full of trepidation when trying out Dofus for the first time, having liked Wakfu so much and being worried that its predecessor would turn out to be more basic or unpolished. I'm surprised and happy to report the exact opposite, and that I like Dofus' fun approach to traditional MMORPG gameplay even more than Wakfu's open-ended sandbox and social features, which is saying a lot.

AceGamezPurely as a game, it's one of those titles that takes a little time getting to grips with the controls and the basic plotlines, but it is time well spent that can result in hours of inside-out pant-wearing hilarity.

If you like to easily create uber-characters and enjoy killing clueless noobs, Dofus probably isn't the game for you. But, if you want something that's a little offbeat, with a heavy reliance on community and group goals, you can do a lot worse than spending $7 to see if you like it.

PC GamerWhile I am all for a rousing 2D game, Dofus gets old way too fast. [Apr 2006, p.78]
-
This may not capture the fancy of hard-core gamers who like to battle mobs in real time, but relaxing into the pacing of the game provides a lightly entertaining experience.
-
Despite its eccentricities, Dofus remains a solid and occasionally brilliant proposition for those looking for something different in an MMO.
-
The comic-style and ironic atmosphere are nice, but there are other games of the same genre who are much more convincing.
