Great old-Eidos ideas, poor execution

The setting and presentation of the world completely reminds me why Eidos was such a powerhouse during this time period. I was instantly hooked on the story, despite the gameplay being a bit wonky. Ultimately, after about 3 hours of playing, re-treading old ground countless times, and fighting minimal, repetitive grunt battles, I had to uninstall. I found that all the cutscenes and such are on YouTube and, combined, it only takes a couple of hours to watch. To me, that is the efficient and ideal way to experience this story - without the boring and bland gameplay.

Competent but unremarkable 3D science-fantasy jrpg

Anachronox is the kind of game that you can play, enjoy, and then set down and never think about again. It's not bad. It's not even bland. It just doesn't stand out against the better entries in the genre, nor does it make any attempt at solving the problems inherent in the genre. If you absolutely love 3D science-fantasy jrpgs, then you might as well play this one too, after playing all of the better entries in the genre. If you're not a fan of that particular subgenre, then this game is certainly not going to change your mind.

Only works with nostalgia goggles on

I did not play this game when it originally came out, so I came to the experience with a clean palette not knowing what to expect. TL;DR The game is broken on so many levels, not just because of age. So I was thinking what could be so wrong with a game made in the golden age of 3d games of the early 2000s and made by eidos? apparently a lot. The acting for starters, so bad, not resident evil bad, but so bad. add to that the dialog cuts and pauses caused by the engine and you get the worst storytelling experience ever. And that is accompanied by the biggest flaw in the game, the pace. everything and I do mean everything is slow. painfully slow, as in get up to the bathroom come back and then continue without missing a thing slow. This is not a technical bug, it's how the game was designed. battles are slow, walking is slow and spoken text is also slow. to the point, you feel tired after a session of the game and not in a good way. I will touch on combat lastly, yes, it was relatively a new genre in the west, doing RPGs that are not based on d&d, but they could have looked at any RPG from japan to avoid all the pitfalls of the combat. I'll list a few areas where the combat is broken, compared to my vast RPG experience from all over the world. 1. Buttons placed in weird unintuitive places, and the icons not clear enough to understand what they do. 2. Filling the ATB takes ages, and when you do finally attack the animations are slow and convoluted. 3. Missing happens way too much, and stats and levels do nothing. 4. Skills and magic and items are mostly unused to the point you forget they exist. And I'll end on one final thought, this game tried to be a lot of things, and succeded in none. Stay away and keep your money for something good.

Hmm

I don't know if this version is updated and fixed, but the original game had serious bugs issue and if I remember correctly problem with some missions. If this is the fixed version, and you don't mind the early modern age 3D graphics, go for it. If it is not fixed, and/or you have a problem with low resolution textures and polygon count you can count with your naked eye, don't buy it. The heart of the game is made of gold, but there is plenty of dirt around.

Good writing/story, bad gameplay

Like others have said. Get it if you can stand slow paced repetitive turn based combat otherwise watch vids.
