Dofus News - MMORPG.com Review

Posted by Dana Massey on Jan 10, 2006  | 9 comments in our forums

Staff Writer James Pittiglio took the time to give Dofus a try and files this MMORPG.com Exclusive Review. Dofus is an anime-styled isometric title that promotes itself as a "tactical MMORPG"; a reference to its turn-based combat.

Following the tutorial, players are dumped into the world with very little direction as to what to do or where to go next. There are a few minor quests they can accomplish at the start, but they feel very shallow for the most part, and often involve a simple delivery or kill quest.

That is not to say that the world players enter is not a pretty one. The Dofus world is undoubtedly beautiful in its own way. If you are looking for a game with cutting edge graphics, stay far away from this game. Everything is done with simple 2-dimensional sprites, which are animated well enough. The environments have a beautiful, hand-drawn look to them, and the game certainly has an anime theme and inspiration behind it. Some may enjoy this simplicity, while others may be put off by it, but there is no denying it all looks great. 

You can read the full review here.
