    A nice an entertaining adventure that mixes the essence of the beat 'em up genre with some adventuresque elements, obtaining an interesting result from the latest chapter related to Dofus's universe. It's a worthy purchase unless you're looking for some online multiplayer options and a innovative way of presenting its unique story.

    At $15, Islands of Wakfu is a fine (but only fine) addition to a brawler fan's library.

    Islands of Wakfu's plot is interesting, though abstract, and the art and music are fantastic but the gameplay really holds it back. It's not an experience that really lasts either. Fans of similar games are encouraged to give it a try, but there are better ways of spending your money on XBLA. It's not bad, but it just isn't as good as it should be.

    Pretty, but oddly unsatisfying to play. [July 2011, p.87]

  1. Only played the demo for two hours but people are reviewing this game too low. It is around an 8.5 at least. Beautiful environments, interesting story, unique characters bring together a really good game, especially for 10 dollars. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The tutorial at the beginning is a little boring. But after, the combat system is very funny with the teleportation combos ! It's better to play in co-op mode. I think at the beginning Wakfu is a rpg but not ;) The music and the world is so gorgeous. Great game for only 800 pts ! Expand

    This game is GORGEOUS ! Incredible graphics... I like the cartoon feel that's in there. The story is amazing. 8 hours of gameplay at least, and I still hadn't found all the hidden secrets and stuff. The gameplay is very rich once you buy the right powers and make the right choices ! A xbox live-exclusive-must buy. Kudos. Expand
  4. Its and Okay game. Based on a French mmo. Wakfu bring a good story and a great combat system where you changed from human to dragon in a flash. Can get slow at times and no online co-op Expand
