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.

not very engaging title

The game world is interesting and full of side characters and places to visit, however, you will find yourself all to often on fetch quests and walking multiple times throughout the same environments, tirelessly walking down the same corridors and streets with repetitive missions. The gameplay is simply dated and does not hold up as a fun and immersive title to play.

unplayable :(

i remember this game with much fondness - it's a fantastic (if frequently cheesy) role-playing game (that is, the characters have personalities, things change based on who you're with, etc). i say that not because i think it'll be helpful to readers, but to contextualize my sadness that i can't play it now. the game is just too dark to see where you're going. changing the gamma levels in game doesn't do anything, and i'm not finding enough information online to guide me to a solution here. and there aren't maps to hack a solution. :( be warned, folks. i'm giving this game four stars because it is great, but...

A badly aged and flawed old game.

The game has some very interesting aspects and a good plot, but due to many bugs and bad design choices it is not worth your time, a better choice would be to watch a walkthrough video. * Slow combat, like annoyingly slow. There are large delays between player/NPC turns which turn combat into a chore. * There are many loading times that apparently not even new hardware can hasten. Also, during those loading times, you are just staring at your character as there isn't even a bar that indicates the loading progress. * Much jankiness, especially when moving you will notice that movement animations clip a lot. * Last but not least, bugs. My character got stuck at least 5 in about 6-7 hours of playtime, adding to the frustration is my first and second cons (slow combat and loading times). Honestly, I've had more fun with Two Worlds (a game notorious for its jankiness and bugs) than this one.

A missed oppertunity

IM sorry...but this game is broken, i gave it two stars basicially to be nIce. When I first bought this game when it first came it had potensial I thought, but were never able to run it, I had the computer power to run it but it never did. Now I thought..hey I`ve always wanted to play this, im gonna gonna but. To my big suprice it actually runned. However my hopes were to much, as I came into the meny it only showed half the screen. I`ve tried everything that the users here has suggested with resolutions fixes and so on but nothing has worked. I just have to realize the truth..i will never be able to play this game. Which is my loss...my suggestion to u is that if you had probelms with this game before then dont buy it.
