4/5
One of my all time favorite RPGs. Rough around the edges for sure, but well written, funny and absolutely oozing with personality. Definitely worth a playthrough or dozen.

A good game that's aged a little
Anachronox was not a favourite when I first bought it way back when. It had an odd control system, was not what I expected of an RPG of the time and took ages to get going. The control system I got used to. The unusual RPG aspects quickly became likeable quirks and once past the initial down-and-out solo detective bit of the story it became much more engrossing. There's no way i'm spoiling this game, what the creators of it made was short of brilliant - but not far from. At times it reminded me of FFVII, sometimes Guardians of the Galaxy, other times it seemed to be a trendsetter. I see many aspects of this game used in others long after. OK graphically it's aged badly but I think nearly all people who play these good old games don't play them for superficial looks. It's story and content and enjoyability that counts and anachronox delivers. Lol moments, funny dialogue and REALLY quirky aliens and characters (Vox for instance) If you have this game and are frustrated at the start, persevere and I think you'll find a little patience will be rewarded.

Best overlooked game ever
You know how disappointed you are that fire-fly didn't make it? You'll be equally disappointed when you see the end of this game and realize they never made a sequel. Probably my favorite game ever.

I've been waiting so long!
This game was so highly underrated it's a crime. Outstanding turn base "JRPG" style gameplay that doesn't actually suck like nearly every JRPG since FF IX. Amazing characters, some of the best writing for a game since Planescape: Torment and addictive gameplay make Anachronox one of my all time favorite RPG's on the PC, and among the only JRPG style game on the PC that's worth playing. And it's definitely worth playing. If you like the JRPG style of gameplay without the terribly annoying, brooding, emo, drama filled whine-fest, shallow characters that comes from Japanese game writing, Anachronox is for you!

Quirky, unique, amazing
Just as one of fellow reviewers here, I had problems getting into the game initially. No, nothing technical either, just wouldn't "click in" initially... I think my main issue with the game was the jRPG style - I'm not a fan and it took me a while to get dragged into the narrative. Boy, was that worth it... This game is unique. Not only because its planned sequel never got made, but also because it is an unusual mix of RPG, comedy, romance and tragedy (quirky and sometimes dark sense of humour prevailing). All that in a scifi package. The story is quite complex, not going to spoil anything in here, and borrows a lot from Douglas Adams-style storytelling ("The Hitchhiker's Guide). Add some Terry Pratchett, some epic scifi adventures worthy of Babylon 5 and unforgettable characters, and you get Anachronox. A real treat, I'm so happy to see it on GOG :)
