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.
I 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.

I have played over 12,000 hours of Dofus spanning from its earliest stages, to the masterpiece it is today. I have yet to play a game as captivating, engaging, and entertaining as this one! There is thousands of hours of gameplay you can go through, and all of it is unique, and challenging! From the beginning island of Incarnam, to the beautiful deep sea of Sufokia, there is never a dull moment! You can play with friends, or by yourself. You can also subscribe for free using in-game currency! I cannot say enough about this game, you HAVE to give it a shot!

Dofus is the most hilarious, light-hearted game I’ve ever played. The story writers are geniuses, and they make humor out of anything and everything! From beginning to end it is gripping, and never dull. There is something to do for every type of gamer! The amount of content is staggering, and so unique!

Despite its eccentricities, Dofus remains a solid and occasionally brilliant proposition for those looking for something different in an MMO.
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.
The comic-style and ironic atmosphere are nice, but there are other games of the same genre who are much more convincing.
Quotation forthcoming. [Jan 2006]
This is not an easy MMO. Don't expect to have your handheld by the game much more than the tutorial. The early content won't put up too much of a fight. make it to even the mid levels while running content at the appropriate level and prepare yourself for a challenge.
One thing I do have to say is If you are starting in the English community, beware some of the servers are underpopulated here as of the time of writing this review. Currently, Rushu is the most populous English server.

Please do not waste your time on this garbage, filled with bots and real money traders, there is 0 in game moderation and you are expected to talk in fluid french every time you party up with randoms, this game could be fun with friends you could ignore the bots and have fun, but its absolutely miserable solo, also the population is dead there is no new players joining only old players coming back and the addicts (check the games twitter comments if you dont believe me every time there is a maintenance people lose their **** xd )

The idea itself is brilliant, but it's all good I have to say about this production.
People behind the game do not hold any respect towards the players.
Game is flooded with bots for 10 years straight already, and only couple of actions had been taken against the plague. All those actions only made game harder for players, and not bots. Bot flood means that all encounters are being taken away from players, making certain areas unplayable, and some resources unavailable. It happens especially in 'free to play' zones.
Players get no attention upon facing a problem, and are only rewarded for taking part in events that are run by marketing team. Moderation team is all but unexisting, leaving you with your problems and bugs alone.
Beacuse of marketing-orientated development, ran by out-of-touch people, the game changes drastically every year, demolishing and turning useless any character builds you have been preparing for months, spending both of time and money. I witnessed many changes made to please "vox populi". Most of them were just making the game idiot-friendly, while leaving truly overpowered exploits and features untouched.
Technical issues occur often, especially after untested updates. Ocasionally servers are unavailable for hours, with no reimbursement for lost "premium" time people pay for.
From pleasant tactical game with a lot of versatility in crafts and combat about 12 years ago it slowly became dumbed down soulless atrocity.
It keeps getting downgraded in almost every single possible area, especially in new implements.
Stories, puns, humour, combat, crafts, pvp system, guilds, servers, areas, bosses, mobs - they all went down from well thought and joyful to bland.

Summary This unique online game, midway between heroic fantasy and cartoon, lead the players to take part to a fabulous adventure in the colorful, 2D designed Universe of Amakna. DOFUS is a Tactical MMORPG which means that players progress in a real time universe, but when they fight against monsters or against other players, action is turn-base...
