Here's a trailer for an incredibly gorgeous upcoming XBLA beat 'em up, Islands of Wakfu. I checked the game out at PAX Prime, where it caught the eye of a lot of Destructoid editors for its attractive visuals, smooth animations and interesting design. 

We have more coverage of Wakfu coming, but check out the trailer above. It really does look very pretty indeed, and it's a title you'll definitely want to be keeping an eye on!

Cool! You know it's a MMO and a show, right?

Cool that you get to play as an Eliatrope, the show is amazing by the way (ep 17. 'Nuff said).

Waaaaaaaaaait a Minute!

Are they bringing this to the non-French world before the actual MMO?
That's odd...

Either way the Cartoon was the greatest thing in any Visual medium I have ever seen, so I might keep an eye on this.

As long as this has nothing to do with Shaqfu, I'm in

Hmmmm, interesting to see Wakfu put into this style of gameplay. This looks pretty cool.

Looks more like Diablo or some such and they haven't gotten as far as doing the dice rolling for damage.

Wakfu is an interesting property and the Cartoon is fairly well done. Cuts fairly close to the wick as far as what you can air in a cartoon.

Visually it's a treat, but I haven't encountered such simplistic and boring gameplay in many a year. Definately feels geared towards a younger audience

It's called Dofus and its been out for PC & Mac for a long while for free and it's definitely not a Sqeenix game. Although not to detriment the game, it's just the association with this publish will leave it open for a lot of unnecessary criticism instead of an open mind for an original game by a relatively new developer... So everyone just give a chance, not simply because Square is publishing, but that it's looks fun and definitely is if you'd ever play Dofus. So yeah.

For some reason this reminds me of Secret of Mana.
