general description
Wakfu is the newest member of the MMORPG genre from French developers Ankama Studio. It features nice cartoon graphics and turn-based combat system. The game has high ratings, and since 2011, a whole army of fans has been formed in all countries of the world. You can start playing it for free, but after level 15 you will need a subscription, which is 5 euros per month or 52 per year.
Background and plot
The events in the game Wakfu are a direct continuation of the story told in Dofus. One day the Ogre fell in love with a princess who asked to get her six dragon eggs, called Dofus.
As it turned out, love was not mutual, the girl only used her hero. In a fit of rage, he killed his beloved, and then began to take out his anger on the rest of the world. Of course, Ogre was stopped and judged by the Gods, but by that moment the world was already on the brink of disaster, damaged and flooded.
The pitiful remnants of the population split into three factions: Amakna, Brakmar and Bonta. It is at this moment that the story of the players begins, who must decide on the choice of the side of the conflict. They will have to defend the interests of their faction not only in PvP, but also in PvE modes.

Classes and skills
Wakfu has 15 different classes that have their own characteristics. Each class has a chain of skills in three of the four elements: Water and Fire, Earth and Air. The more often the player uses this or that skill, the stronger it becomes, the more the experience and strength of the hero increases. The maximum value for each skill is 200 points. Initially, one skill is available in each line, but over time the rest will open. Points will never be enough to open all the perks, so you need to decide in advance which lines will be priority. Thus, there are no two absolutely identical characters in the world.
An advanced customization system will help to stand out from the crowd, which allows you to try on many unique and cute elements of appearance on the hero model. The Wakfu server can accommodate up to 25 thousand participants simultaneously. It will not be difficult for the player to stand out from the crowd and create a strong, bright and memorable character.
Combat system
The combat system in Wakfu is much closer to strategy than to Action. Each player has 30 seconds to interact with the world or the enemy, cast spells or apply buffs on themselves. This turn-based combat system requires strategic thinking, planning moves, and constant focus. You can go out against mobs not only alone, but also with a company of up to six people. If the enemy is marked in green, it means that he is approximately equal in strength with the hero. Orange symbolizes increased difficulty with the possibility of a positive outcome. Red enemies should be avoided even in the company of other players. Optimal build-up is considered to be on enemies equal to the gamer in strength.
A protective sphere is formed around the team, preventing the entry of intruders. However, there may be traps inside it that are not associated with enemies.

Craft
Unlike combat skills, crafting and gathering professions are available to everyone in unlimited quantities. Of the 16, they allow you to find materials, process them and combine them into useful items: consumables, weapons and armor. The development of any profession begins by talking with a Clan Member.
One profession becomes available to all players immediately after completing the training. This is Kamaminter, which makes it possible to convert resources into game currency. This is how money is farmed in Wakfu.
Other game features
The world is holistic and seamless, not divided into sectors or cells. Four nations are fighting for all territories, each of which a player can join, and then even take a managerial position there. The governor of the nation sets laws and taxes, appoints officials.
Depending on the legislation in force, you can attack players in all zones except the starting zone. It is possible to really influence the population of monsters and friendly creatures in all territories. You can even get your own home, improve and enlarge it, and also accumulate achievements in a variety of game aspects.
