Review: Dofus

Dofus is a 2D Flash-based tactical MMORPG developed by Ankama Studios. Billed as a tactical game in an interactive comic book, the game is set in the lands of Amakna, where players set out to find and collect Dofus (dragon eggs), which give their owners incredible powers. Players will take on quests to search for the Dofus through 200 levels of adventuring, all the while learning spells, exploring dungeons, battling opponents, mastering Professions, and much more. Dofus has a Free To Play trial area with a monthly subscription to access more content.

Step into the World of Twelve and explore its vast, lush landscapes, its gloomy moors, and its many treasures. Its cities are bustling centers of commercial (and criminal) activity... The wildlife is magnificent, the water is pure, the air is fresh and sharp, and the earth is the most fertile you've ever seen... But behind the idyll, shadows and traps lurk... Its boundaries are still unclear, and new areas are being discovered all the time... especially since the Divine Dimensions, the worlds of the gods, opened up to brave adventurers.

There are 16 different character classes to choose from in Dofus and each has its own weapon and actions. Each class can also be categorized into the traditional tank, healer, and DPS roles. Battles are turn-based, requiring Strategy and resource management to attain victory and there is a multitude of dungeons to group up with others and gain experience.

Dofus Gameplay

When you finish making your account on the main website, the first thing you want to do is launch the client then hit play. Few moments later, you will see a big earth globe which represents your journey and countless adventures the game offers. Once it finishes to 100%, you are greeted with a warm welcome to Dofus page. In the first box type your account name, second box type your password, then hit play. You will then be asked to choose a unique nickname that people will see you by when they add you on friends list or hit your information with the slash whois command. We'll dive into that a little later.

You will see three boxes with the option to select epic, classic, and heroic. Make sure you pick classic which has a female sadida conjuring magic by raising her arms into the air. You can't miss it as it automatically refers you to this choice. Once you hit select, you're probably thinking what is the name of the server? Do I belong to the right community? What is the main language of the server?

There are about 38 servers with many different nationalities and languages, but only 1 official English server with the name being Echo. If you're trying to play the game when you live in Asia, you may have some difficulties. For that, you may want to contact ankama support while providing as much information as possible describing your situation. There will soon be 10 servers so it will be easier to know where you really belong.
