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.

Amazing, Unique, Immersive Experience

This rpg is so very hard to classify, it's in a class of its own and pulls bits and pieces from everywhere to make a truly unique escapist experience. It is one of those truly original games that must be played if you are a crpg fan, a bucket list game.

For newcomers

You can't change the difficulty mid-game, so choose wisely, but hard will be HARD at the very end (nigh impossible, if you don't spec correctly). Also, if you value your time, hold the \ key to fast forward the game.

A true RPG jewel

Anachronox has the best story, both fun and serious, ever made. It is not that generic cliche story about saving the world by a generic good/bad guy character. It is a journey with fantastic music, setting, brilliant dialogues and characters you will fall in love with. I wish that somewhere in a distant universe Anachronox and all its characters really exists.

Love this game!

I played this when it first came out in 2001. Yeah, the graphics may look a little dated, they did even then. But the art style of this game is beautiful, it's funny, simply just a fun game.. I highly recommend it!

Exellent.

This is a magical RPG with so many different places to discover and superb puzzles but not too many, this game was made before its time and if it was to be made today with the advancement in gaming it would really blow you away its truly a super dooper game, if the people who own the game and make a complete remake from the drawing board it would really be a fantastic number 1.:-)
