RAWR
Dofus
Dofus is one of the undiscovered gems of the internet. It is a free MMORPG with over 25 million players. It is outstanding because of its battle system and its graphics. I am only going to scratch the surface with this review.
Gameplay
This is a pretty straightforward MMORPG. You have multiple character classes to choose from, of which there are 12 (from warrior to animal trainer). Then you assign your skill points and you wander around. Yes, they will train you how to move around and stuff. That’s not important. If you have started, by now you will notice how incredible the graphics are.
I have quite honestly never played a multiplayer game that is as visually appealing as this one. The creators obviously took an incredible amount of time on this, and it shows. With the blend of American rhapsody and Japanese attention to detail, you will have fun simply walking around.
Home Sweet Home
Yes, I suppose you’ll have to battle someone at some point. This leads me to the second part of what makes this an exemplary game, the battle system. It is turn based. Yes, you read that correctly. You can form a team and have 8 person turn by turn battles. It’s awesome, and it’s a thinking man’s RPG.
Technical
What is also striking is the size of the world this game inhabits. 7 continents with over a thousand monsters to battle. This is an incredibly complex game. On top of character class, you can choose a profession for your guy or gal. Maxing out is a barely attainable goal, you have to get to 200.
I’m sure you’re wondering where the word Dofus comes from. Well, a dofus is a dragon egg that you collect by finishing huge quests or beating certain dungeons. I won’t go into details, but they are very powerful.
This game is very accessible. There is not the ‘hardcore’ element that is present in most online RPGs. You can have fun battling or selling your profession. I wouldn’t say that it is a combination of Second Life and WOW, but that would be a useful way to think about it.
Final Verdict
You know what’s the best part? It’s free. WORD. Play this game. You will find it to be much more than a pleasant experience.

Yeah, that looks pretty nice! You say turn-based battles, but I assume the rest of the game is played in real-time?

Yeah, you move around in real time, but when it’s battle time, it’s turn based.
