Description
Welcome to Anachronox, an abandoned alien artificial planet at the centre of the universe, now home to lowlifes, thieves, and scoundrels. Here we join Sylvester "Sly Boots" Bucelli--a down on his luck PI--and a cast of 6 other unlikely heroes on their quest to discover who or what is trying to destroy the universe. They are the only ones that believe it is happening, and the only ones that can do something about it.

This title is a very unique game in many ways. The combination of jRPG style turn-based combat, extraordinary characters with their own personalities, an epic and brilliantly told story, colorful graphics, and absolutely hilarious humor is something very rare. You will travel through galaxies, explore bizarre planets, and journey through space and time. There are no easy choices in this game, no obvious, predictable events, no black and white characters. This complexity made the game well reviewed--it has showed up on PC Gamer's Top 100 PC Games list three times!--and will keep you fascinated and amazed for many hours.
  • Great mix of Japanese and Western style RPG elements with great humor, a gripping story, and a very unique cast of characters.
  • Excellent storytelling via professional-quality cutscenes and dialogue will accompany you through the entire 50+ hour long adventure.
  • Huge world to explore with many secrets to discover and mysteries to solve. One playthrough is, by far, not enough to see it all.

Is it good? It's certainly unique.

From the team that brought you Deus Ex, comes a game that's...unique. I've never played anything quite like Anachronox before. That's not a bad thing. The gameplay feels a bit wonky at times, mostly suffering to some choppy camera work on scripted scenes, but if you can get past that and the dated graphics, you're in for a good time. What I found to really stand out was the writing. The background information given, the character dialog, everything is coated with a thick layer of cheese and general silliness. Anachronox is a great game because of this, and anybody who appreciates these sorts of things will enjoy this game.

one of my all-time favorites

memorable and unique characters ands tory, funny dialog, great stuff overall. I've never liked timed turn-based combat with qte, the whole point would be to let me think and act without rushing, but it's worth tolerating. was supposed to be a trilogy but didn't sell well, so be prepared for a massive cliffhanger. I think the gog version comes with the semi-official patches (one of the devs kept working on it in their own time), but if not, make sure to grab them.

Cyberpunk JRPG

Great world, atmosphere and music. Plenty of unique places and characters to meet with some npcs who join your party. The turn-based combat can be a little slow, but still enjoyable.

classic that it still holds its appeal

this game is good, very good the history unfolds slowly at the start but the gameplay is fun, mixing exploration, a bit of adventure and jrpg (with combat usually being on the easy side) the characters are lovable, there is humour, and you can bypass the outdated graphics because at least the ui is good enough and the movement are fluid only small issures are that once in a combat you cannot load and you cannot skip or accelerate animations in any way but they are very small issues compared to the good things in the game
