About WAKFU

Story

In the time of Dofus, an ogre named Ogrest managed to acquire six rare Dofus eggs for the sake of someone he loved. However, she was interested only in the eggs, and Ogrest killed her in a fit of rage. After realizing what he had done, Ogrest climbed to a mountaintop and cried for several hundred years, bringing utter ruin to the universe.

Features

• Freedom of Choice – Players can choose to be an insanely-strong warrior, a magical healer, an assassin or even a summoner of plants or animals, among several other playable character classes, each with a total of 25 spells.
• Strategic Gameplay – The turn-based, tactical combat system challenges players to size up their opponents and think their way through battles
• Evolving Environments – In WAKFU, a player’s actions affect the environment. If they kill a monster, it might be gone for good, and if they mine an ore, it might never appear in the game again. Players will have to carefully choose when they should protect or exploit their environment’s natural resources
• Dynamic Challenges – Unique, area-specific quests keep players entertained as they adventure through the various parts of the world
• Wicked Humor – Players will notice an unusual sense of humor, as WAKFU is the only place where they’ll find a suit of armor that makes the wearer look like a giant rabbit
• Customizable Characters – Players can bring their characters to life with a robust set of customization features. Purple hair? Check. Grey skin? Check. A far-out hairstyle? Check.
