Wakfu Review: The Sequel of Dofus
Dofus had always been a unique gameIt was 2 dimensional, it had many classes which not one other game had, its community was amazing and it had a lot of amusing featuresAfter the success of Dofus, Ankama decided to develop a game that had the good parts of Dofus combined with modern graphics and a new world: Wakfu.
Even though the game is still in Open Beta, and it is still being developed, it is already popular and many former Dofus players decided to give the new game a tryThey noticed many similarities with Dofus, but it was somehow differentThey thought it was an amazing game, but could it beat the great reputation of Dofus?
At the Start
Right from the beginning of the game, you will notice that there are many differences if you would compare the game to Dofus.
When logging in to the game, you will have to create your characterSadly, you will only be able to change the color of your skin and hair which means that you will encounter many people ingame that look exactly like you.
Keep in mind that Wakfu is only partly Free to PlayMost of the areas can only be accessed as a subscriber.
Stats and Combat
Wakfu is a turnbased game, just like DofusThis means that you will have to wait for your turn before being able to do anything.
The combat of the game is not very complexYou basically have to wait for your turn and select a spell to castAttacks and movement is limited; It is not possible to kill all your enemies or to move through the whole map in one turn.
Every player has an amount of AP (action points) and MP (movement points) to keep the usage of spells limitedSpells cost a certain amount of AP and moving costs MPThis is a great way to think very well before using a spell.
Features and graphics
The graphics of Wakfu are way better than Dofus'The characters have been completely changed and the monsters look even betterThe only negative part of this upgrade is that many players with an old computer will not be able to run Wakfu without any lag. Wakfu offers us quite some featuresThe game has PvP, but it isn't really special
It basicly is the same as normal combat; The only difference is that your opponent is a real playerA great feature of the game are the professions such as harvesting and plantingThere are many different professions in WakfuSome of these can only be executed if you are a subscriber, which is quite disappointing. The most unique part of the game is that the economy is completely player basedThere are no NPCs who buy your items which means that it could go wrong if the players decide to ruin it
Conclusion and personal opinion
Wakfu is a decent game and a good sequel of DofusAnakma has done a great job on upgrading the gameThe bad parts of Dofus, such as the graphics and many bugs, have been fixed and many players will enjoy Wakfu
I personally don't think Wakfu has 'beaten' DofusDofus will always be a great game that gives you everything you want of a game and nothing can change thatNot even a sequel.
