DOFUS 2.1 New 6 Sep 10 16:56
submitted by ankamaposted by nath
Category: action
Description: A tactical MMORPG

DOFUS is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Being a mixture of video game and interactive animated cartoon, DOFUS brings a new concept within online games.

Since the precious DOFUS disappeared, the province of Amakna is in turmoil but not without any reason! Indeed, the extraordinary powers contained in these magic dragon eggs start to arouse the greatest covetousnesses, and the cities of Bonta and Brakmar are already confronting each other. Yet, an even more fearsome threat seems to hang over Amakna. Strange creatures suddenly appear in an already lush flora and fauna, and lands appear in places where there used to be absolutely nothing. But, no matter where they come from, their motives or the events going on, all the adventurers have one single aim: lay hands on the six precious DOFUS.

An amazing and amusing world
With its colourful 2-Dimensional graphics and mischievous legends, DOFUS is an unusual video game.

An unusual gameplay in a Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Game(PvP - PvE)
With hundreds of possible combinations associated with random variations, the tactical fighting system adds an undeniable interest to the MMORPG type.

Numerous functionalities
DOFUS offers the MMORPG players a wide range of opportunities: numerous quests, fighting possibilities, different professions to learn and practice, regions to explore, the merchant mode, guilds, pets and many more.

A constantly revived interest
The DOFUS world is constantly evolving as new things are regularly added: new monsters to confront, entire new regions, new functionalities.

An online game accessible from anywhere
You can play DOFUS on Windows, Mac or Linux, with very basic configurations, and you don't have to save anything since everything is online. You can then play at home, at school, in your office or in a cyber cafe for example.
