Classic

I'm part of the way through my first play through. I did not experience this game when it was new. It's a combination of point'n'click adventure and turn-based CRPG, and executed amazingly well. It just keeps getting better. A few tips for using it on modern systems, though: 1. Use a mouse with adjustable DPI, via button. While running around, high-DPI is nice, but when clicking on everything in sight, or while in combat, low-DPI is easier on the wrists. 2. Play with AA settings, if you need AA. I found light SGSSAA, mixed with FXAA, to look the best, for me. Some AA settings don't work quite right, and may result in artifacts. Due to the futuristic look, with lots of black and near-white lines, plain old supersampling doesn't quite do it. 3. Set the vertical resolution to the closest setting possible for your monitor, then, in your driver settings, set scaling to be 1:1, rather than doing any stretching. 4. Don't bother with Glide. nGlide supports it, and that's cool, but it looks really off, sometimes. Some games, like Rayman 2, are JUST RIGHT with Glide wrapping, but the "flatness" of OpenGL is a bit better, for this game.

Genius.

Anachronox is a masterpiece of RPG joy. As a lover of RPG's you really, truly should get it - bargain of the decade for such a fun and funny, complex and intelligent game :) The quake 2 engine now looks so bad it is brilliant and feels like stylized cartoon graphics. You can speak to almost everyone in the game and get unique responses. Combat is like Final Fantasy but the game itself is one of the best written and well realised Sci-Fi universes in the RPG genre, rivalling mass effect for imagination. It is in my top 10 games of all time, and top 5 RPG's.

Good writing and story; gameplay lacking

Anachronox has some pretty good story and writing, with gameplay from a third person perspective and combat akin to old school turn based Japanese RPGs along with equipment, item and leveling mechanics. I'll admit, I was pretty engrossed with the story and the writing at first when I purchased this back in 2013 and was really charmed by the fact that it plays on my love for old-school JRPGs. However, that novelty wore off, as I continued to play. Here are the issues I have with this game: - Slow combat: In classic JRPGs, such as Final Fantasy, the party and enemy hit each other relatively quickly and responsively. Anachronox, on the other hand, each characters' animation, including the enemies, are so drawn out, you actually wait for them to finish. - The MISS mechanic: But you know, what's even more infuriating? Your characters MISSING their attacks. After waiting for your characters to finish their move only to have it miss was one of the things that turned me off real quickly and made me quit. I revisited the game from time to time, but this MISS mechanic always got on my nerves. When I did finally decided come back to finish this game (for my completionist sake), I thought this mechanic would improve as you level up or got better equipment. But you know what, it doesn't. Despite being higher level and having Excellent weapons for all your characters, this mechanic NEVER goes away! Thankfully, reading through some of the Community forums, I learned you could speed up the game including combat by pressing and holding the "" key on your keyboard. This feature is the ONLY reason I was able to complete the game. But a game should never need an outside feature to improve QOL. - Yoyo Questing: My last and final gripe is how some of the quests you constantly need to go back and forth between places to get your items or rewards, not a big deal generally, but this often involves going through combat areas to reach your NPCs (see above..). Would I play this again? No

A Diamond in the Rough

The first three hours are a bit slow, but once the game gathers speed it shatters every expectation. Well crafted humor, brilliant plot and a fascinating setting mesh well with the JRPG style gameplay. One of my personal favorite games, despite its slow start.
