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.

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.

buggy

about 20 minutes into the game the entire thing glitched post-dialogue, at which point my character was suspended on the ceiling. reloaded game, same issue. Add the outdated graphics, bad jokes and stiff controls, quick uninstall.

high expectations. couldnt play it.

ion storm, the makers of Deus Ex. must have been a great game. atmosphere and setting seemed great. seemed to age but i have no problem in playing old games. what i have a problem with is not being able to fix gamma and the game being too dark to see anything. this is a problem that has been reported on line with no solution apparently. cant play it. I rate it as a 1 star based on its issues today. no nostalgia affecting me as I didn't play it back in the day.

Wonderful game

A lightning spark of creativity. Even people who don't like console-style RPGs much, this one's something special. Great writing, voice acting, and world design.
