In Wakfu, players will start a fantastic and epic adventure. Together with their magic powers, they either fight against the fauna and flora of the World, or tame them to become breeders or farmers. Thanks to an icon-driven and intuitive language, players can interact to create alliances or confront each other in heroic fights. Each of these actions will directly and considerably influence the economy and the rules that govern the World. Wakfu takes place 1,000 years after DOFUS. The World is largely submerged by water. Wide islands and many archipelagos float in a unique Ocean. What happened? How did the DOFUS era become the Wakfu era? No one knows. Though the wise men’s specters of that time have been summoned many times thanks to specific incantations and spiritualist rituals, they all remained silent. As for the old books recalling past stories, their pages faded away. But, oral legends mention a cosmic battle between the gods and a unique enemy, an endless deluge and the advent of a titan. But the story of Wakfu still has to be written! The World is awaiting for its hero.
Wakfu is a MMOG developed by Ankama Games (the same company that brought us Dofus). If you are a big fan of Dofus, this game will knock your little boots out. Just like Dofus, it will have a freetoplay area and a subscription option. The graphics here are similar to Dofus’ 2D cartoon-like design, but with a magical touch. It has many characteristics like Dofus such as a wide range of classes to choose from like the Cra’s range and the Xelor’s sandglass. There are 12 total classes where 10 of them have not been announced yet. Characters are highly customizable from their underwear to their hair. There is also a tactical fighting system and multidirectional scrolling in a 3D universe. With up to 25,000 players simultaneously connected per world and the game being available for English, Dutch, Spanish and French, this game will no doubt have a large user base.
