Dofus is a French MMORPG from Ankama, released in 2004 and something of a cult hit in France, with spin-off comics and even a film. It is set in the World of Twelve, named after its twelve gods. Since late 2024 it runs on a new Unity client, known as Dofus 3.
The world moves in real time, but fights are turn-based like a tactics game: each side spends action and movement points on spells and on moving across a grid. There are 19 classes, each with spells no other class can use. Beyond combat there are gathering and crafting professions, city marketplaces and guilds.
It suits fans of tactics and slow, steady progression. Free accounts reach only the starter part of the world; the rest needs a subscription. Fights take patience, and dungeons are harder without a guild.
