Anachronox

This game is amazing!

I wish i had heard of this game sooner. its great

Super awesome game. Want more of Boots.

The story of Anachronox was great, full of excellent humor and surprising dark moments, with only one or two things I took issue with. I found the gameplay, however, to be somewhat flawed, particularly in the battles, which among other things were overly drawn out, impossible to skip and, depending on the person, potentially dizzying.

Before you read this, I didn't play this game when it came out. So I think I played without nostalgia glasses and, at the same time, didn't enjoy in ''its prime time''. Besides that, I guess the best review I can come up with is ''it's ok''. I would say that the most attractive part of the game is the story, with some funny dialogue, some good twist and a little pool of well-written characters (and it isn't ''astonishing'', it's good but felt like it could have been more). Instead, regarding gameplay mechanics and overall look, it's average. Not to dismiss it as ''bad'' but the effort that Ios storm put it in the game didn't match the general ''output'': slow gameplay, sometimes too simple or straightforward (besides the IMMENSE backtracking this game, sometimes, forces you to do, which slows it even more) My personal opinion is that after Daikatana failure, Ios storm (or Romero) wanted to try something more ''safe'' and came up with Anachronox. In the end, would I advise to play it? yes, if you like turn-based RPG ( or jrpg, or at least I felt like it was one) with some different mechanics than the norm, all mixed with some good dialogue and story (for the most part). If you don't like this particular genre, I would say: give it a chance, but prepare yourself for a long walk (literally, my half gameplay time was spent by only walking!)
