Dofus + Mobius

Category : , , , ,

Just about a month ago, Mobius games announced that they will be a gateway for subscribing on Dofus. Furthermore all accounts made from January 1 onwards will automatically be assigned to an exclusive Philippines server. Although Reema and I are hoping this is a SEA server not a pure IP blocked Philippine one, we always like diversity.

On that note, Dofus isn't a new MMORPG, in fact a handful of Filipino players are already playing it long before Mobius and Ankama (dofus publisher) had this recent partnership. Dofus is a turn based tactical MMORPG with a bit of cartoon-ish graphics, but don't be fooled some contents are a bit surprising. Besides that, the gameplay itself is unique to any games we played, it's the main reason why we love this game. Since it's a turn based tactical game, you can throw away that point click fighting style. It's economy is entirely run by players, everything, and I mean everything is player dependent. This is the main reason why a new server starts up very slow unlike other games. We already reviewed this game a while back when it was on it's infant stage, and a lot has changed, but one thing remains the same, it is still very addictive and fun. We are glad with the new payment system, most filipino gamers who did not have the privilege to enjoy this game will finally have that opportunity. So what are you waiting for? =)

(Top 5) #3 : Dofus

Category : , , , , , ,
We introduced Dofus in our past entries, but since it's one of our Top 5 Favorite Games, we're writing about it again. You have no choice, haha. Kidding!!!


Dofus is actually the first game Xeph and I played as a couple (teehee!), and it grew on us. We pretty much memorized everything about this game considering we keep coming back to it even after playing different kinds of games (with better graphics/game play). It's a 2d, Turn-based MMORPG which runs on any OS you can imagine.

It started out as this cute browser game, and now with over 10 MILLION players, Dofus is proving itself to be one of the games to compete with. The French scored big on this one! Although it's not known in our country (the Philippines), Dofus has been spreading their franchise, slowly and carefully, throughout the years.

Dofus has 12 classes, with 12 different specialties. This game not only enchants your eyes with it's cute interface it also challenges your brain. Strategic as it is, Dofus is still one of the most relaxing games we have ever played, also one of the most thought of! Who would think that, with graphics built for a child comes a very complex game with really wide choices on jobs, clothes, equipments and quests.

Xeph and I loved this game even more because of it's community. GMs are very accomodating and hands on, the players are very friendly and approachable. This is one of the games that value their players' loyalty and hard work. And for that, they beat any hardcore-super cool graphics-MMORPG any day.


Another thing that drew us closer to Dofus is the fact that you wouldn't get bored playing it, if you don't want to level up, go explore the maps, or hunt emotes, or do jobs, or window shop, the list is endless. You'll never get tired of it 'cause there's so much to do and so much to see.

Dofus is definately and will forever be on our top list of games, so to Ankama, KEEP IT UP! haha.

Dofus...the World of Twelve.

Category : , , ,
One of the first MMORPGs I ever played and fell in love with is from a French gaming company called ANKAMA Games.

Xeph introduced me to Dofus a few years ago. Back when everybody in the Philippines played Ragnarok Online (RO).

I instantly fell in love with the characters, the interface, the environment and the community. The server we played in was based in the US, but it was open for everybody. It was still in it's open beta phase when we started playing.

Dofus is a turn-based MMORPG. Which means you have to take turns attacking the mob or the enemies. You have 12 Classes to choose from, the Ecaflip, the Sadida, the Eniripsa, the Osamodas, the Iop, the Enutrof, the Cra, the Sram, the Feca, the Xelor, the Sacrier, and the Pandawa.

The Ecaflip is a risk-taker's choice. The wild card. Most of the time they would have to gamble for their lives and the lives of their party members. Every skill they cast would have to rely on chance, which can turn out to be very powerful or very weak. Players often choose Ecaflips, but beware improper use might lead you to switching to a different class instead.

The Sadida - a bit of Magic and Summon combined. They make use of poisons, dolls, and brambles to inflict massive damage on an enemy. You better think twice before messing with these creatures.

The Eniripsa is everybody's favorite support. Not so much of a damage dealer, Eniripsas have the ability to become a very powerful healer. You wouldn't want them on the enemy's side during a battle.

The Osamodas are born Summoners. They have the ability to summon different creatures. Osamodas pretty much let their summons do the work for them. For a strategic game, this class is a no brainer, all you have to do is find a spot and then summon your way to victory or until you annoy the hell out of your opponent until he gives up, that is.

Massive damage, you say? Then the Iop is a perfect choice for you. They excel in close range combat. Always the front liner, their main goal is to approach and kill the enemy. You wouldn't want to get in their way if I were you.

The Enutrof are well-known treasure hunters. They will boost your luck, which means a better chance for mobs to drop good equipments. Players love them for the items, though they also curse the Enutrofs for being soooo time consuming.

The Cra specializes in Archery. Their arrows can inflict massive damage on an enemy. Melee often stay away from these talented archers unless they are on the same side.

No MMO is complete without an Assasin, in this case the Sram. They specialize in their deviousness, traps and their invisibility. Aside from that, the Sram is the only class where you have the choice to use a dagger or a bow as your main weapon. A slight mistake on their build and you can just forget about it, log out and create a new one. But once you learn how to use a Sram there is no stopping you. Unlike the Osamodas, Srams require you to put your brain into good use (haha). They excel most during the late game, which means you would have to wait a little while before you see how powerful a Sram really is.

The monsters are so cute it's hard not to fall in love with them, but once you see how vicious and powerful they are, you might think twice. (The picture on the left is a Gobball probably one of the first monsters you'll cross paths with.)

The jobs are very exciting too, you can be whatever you want, an alchemist, a baker, a farmer, a tailor, a fisherman and more!

Well...what are you waiting for? Log on in their website and download! There is a catch though, it's Pay-2-Play. But with their affordable rates, I don't think paying will stop you from playing it.

That's that. Let me leave a bunch of pictures to tempt you a little bit more...LOL.
