DOFUS Review

Developed and published by Ankama Games, Dofus is a unique MMORPG with a turn-based battle system and cartoonish environment, but it’s mired with frustrating navigation.

Characters are hand-drawn with an anime style. There are 15 classes to choose from, each with a distinguished look and each with a different play style: Enutrof is a treasure-hunting class that increase drop rates; Osamodas rely on summons that fight along them; Panda was, the “boozer” class, use spells that can only be active if the player is drunk or sober. Customizing your character, however, is limited to skin, hair and clothes colour. You can have purple or green skin if that’s your style. But you can’t change your main outfit, but you can distinguish yourself with hats, cloaks and shields.

After creating your character, you will enter Incarnam, a floating continent high above the World of Twelve. Rocks float in the air, and the area is enigmatic. The point-of-view is top-down, and the camera is stationary. Clicking on the ground moves your character to that location, and if you need to get to the other side, you need to click the edge of the map which takes you to the next area. This becomes tiresome, especially when your destination is diagonal from you. Just imagine traversing nine screens to get to your destination that is four screens diagonally. acheter des kamas

As you head out to explore Incarnam and the World of Twelve, the environment is lifeless. The leaves on the trees don’t sway, the grass is stationary and the rivers don’t run free. We are surprised and disappointed that the environment is not animated. The music is great and appropriate to the atmosphere. Forest areas are calm with flutes and woodwinds, and the battle music is jittery and engaging with strings and horns. The music, however, becomes repetitive.

The user interface was intimidating since everything is crammed at the bottom of the screen. The chat window is located on the left, the mini-map on the middle, and the spell and item hot bars on the right. Below the hot bar are even more buttons that brings up the character sheet, inventory, quest log, etc.

Combat is turn-based and simple to understand. Players have six action points that are used for spells, and three movement points that are used to move in the battlefield. Points are replenished at the start of every turn unless your enemy uses a spell that decreases your action or movement points.

Combat is fun and thought provoking. We played as an Iop, which is the Paladin class in Dofus. It’s possible to spam a specific type of spell, but the same spell won’t be as effective on a different mob. Each spell utilizes a specific element: air, water, fire and earth. Some mobs are weak against fire or resistant to it. You can get this information by hovering your cursor over your enemies.

Combat doesn't feel repetitive as there are a variety of mobs in Dofus and each mob have unique spells and movement points. One annoying yet challenging mob are Tofus, tiny yellow birds that litter the world. They have ten movement points, and they fly away after they attack. As a melee class, trying to pursue a Tofu would work against you so it’s more strategic to move away and bait the Tofu towards you. Evil Sunflowers are the same – but worse as they have ranged attacks. Mobs are usually grouped and rarely alone. Some have two to four varying mobs which can be soloed. There are some that are intended for team play since the mobs are grouped in seven or more. But the more mobs there are, the more experience points you gain.

In every battle, challenges are given to spice up the game play. There are challenges that require you to use all your action points or movement points in all your turns, kill a specific mob first, or avoid getting damaged. Completing the challenge gives you bonuses on experience points, loot and Kamas, which are the game’s currency.buy or sell GW2 gold

After the battle, the pace of the game is severely hindered by slow HP recovery. Sitting down speeds up recovery, but it still takes time, finding myself hitting Alt+Tab to browse the web. To keep the momentum going, you would need a stock of potions and food to replenish your health.

Pulverizing WoW MMA fighter Jens "Little Evil" Pulver has been trying his hand at Mists while preparing for his next fights. "I have not been inside a dungeon or raid but I have enjoyed leveling a few characters," he writes. "My hunter is my PvP character, and I try to get in a few games in the evening. Outside of WoW, I have been wrapping up my career as a MMA fighter and will be fighting in the semi's of the ONEFC bantamweight Grand Prix in April." Jens is also hard at work on projects including gaming hardware, depression, and motivational speaking.

Raegwyn the solo artist Raegwyn the DK soloing specialist has mostly wrapped up Mists content by now. "I'm just working on some smaller video projects like Scarlet Monastery challenge mode solo or Spine of Death wing, which will probably both be done when your article goes online," he wrote in December. Next up: some DK-only raids. "I'm also thinking about making a mega-event like 500 DKs vs. Sha of Anger just to see 500 armies at one time -- but not sure if i will be able to organize that," he says, "... although I think six DKs should be enough for that boss." Keep up with Raegwyn on YouTube and Facebook.

The Megaguild business Mists has reinvigorated several hundred members in the WoW branch of mega-guild The Syndicate. "Those members are really enjoying the new content and specifically the endgame zones," writes leader Dragons.
