Dofus
Dofus est un jeu de rôle massivement multijoueur en ligne et tactique au tour par tour, développé et publié par Ankama Games, qui est sorti le 1er septembre 2004. Principalement proposé en formule payante, il offre toutefois une portion de contenu gratuite et est disponible sur PC, Mac, Linux et navigateur web, s'appuyant sur le moteur Adobe AIR. L'intrigue se déroule dans la Province d'Amakna, où la disparition de six œufs de dragon aux pouvoirs absolus et instables, les Dofus, attire des aventuriers et plonge la région dans l'incertitude. La presse a salué certains aspects du titre, My Gamer notant qu'il ne convient pas à ceux cherchant à écraser facilement les novices, tandis que MMORPG.com évoquait une approche initiale teintée de crainte après la découverte de Wakfu. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic témoignent d'un attachement profond au jeu, quand d'autres regrettent une expérience devenue dépendante de son art et entachée de nombreux bugs. Dofus affiche une note agrégée de 79,45.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« 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. »
« Purely as a game, it's one of those titles that takes a little time getting to grips with the controls and the basic plotlines, but it is time well spent that can result in hours of inside-out pant-wearing hilarity. »
« 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] »
« While I am all for a rousing 2D game, Dofus gets old way too fast. [Apr 2006, p.78] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Ce jeu a visiblement une place importante dans votre cœur. Il évoque sans doute de nombreux souvenirs précieux. On comprend l'attachement profond que vous lui portez. C'est touchant de voir une telle passion. Il est certain que ce jeu continuera à vous accompagner longtemps. »
« A game that used to be great but now only relies on its art. An Alpha/Beta-test that is running on live servers at the cost of the customers. More than 700+ bugs. All around victim of bad game-design. Ankama Production treats their customers as nothing but moneybags and never really tries to communicate nor aknowledge issues. A full month since release, less than 10 bugfixes. Don't play this game unless you want to lose time and money. »
« I've played Dofus for a long time, like almost 20 years of my life. I've always loved the lore, the gameplay, the DA. But now, they tried to push Dofus 3.0 for December 2024, and since everythingI loved about the game fill me with rage. The game isn't really op, so much bugs everywhere (not all of them are important, but most of them are bugs that could have been fixed before the launch because they happen everytime I feel like i'm playing at a easy access, but the game is full and in production, so i feel like Ankama is using its fame to profit and not do to much. »

« 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 ) »
« 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! »
« Merci Ankama pour toutes ces belles années passé, présente et future. Dofus est un mmorpg génial et incroyable avec une vrai belle histoire. »
