Islands of Wakfu is an adventure videogame for Xbox 360, set for release on March 30, 2011. The game is developed and published by Ankama Studio.
BEAT'EM UP, SHOOT'EM UP, ADVENTURE : Whether you use single-player or co-op mode (2 players using one console), Islands of WAKFU focuses on the cooperation of the two playable characters: Nora, an Eliatrope (the same class as Yugo, hero of the WAKFU series) who can teleport, and Efrim, her dragon brother, who can fly and fire balls of Wakfu at enemies.
Depending on which of the two characters you choose, and on your progress through the game's 14 levels, gameplay switches between adventure and combat. The fighting phases use a previously unreleased dynamic system (arcade-style, somewhere between beat 'em up and shoot 'em up) in which players will master "Dimensional Arts" such as teleportation and shooting. You can complete the game in Initiate mode (for experienced players) or in Goddess mode (for beginners).

HOW ABOUT WE START WITH THE END OF THE WORLD?: As part of Ankama's transmedia project, Islands of WAKFU allows players to learn more about the DOFUS and WAKFU story and creates links with the respective MMOs.
