AnachroNOT for Me

by mickp Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 07 '01
Pros: Nice speech. Detailed world.
Cons: Graphics very clunky and drab. Not ENOUGH speech. Dull. Control Method.
Anachronox is one of the few games that I find very difficult to review. I can concede that the majority of todays gaming community is going to enjoy themselves to some extent or another, but personally, after about four hours of play I was...

"Poison from the past" may be a glimpse of the future...

by albrtlee , Jul 16 '01
Pros: Exceptional environments, engaging characters, solid voice acting
Cons: Instability and poor performance
Anachronox is an ION Storm game. Yes, the same game development company that produced such wonderful gaming masterpieces like Dominion and, of course, the forever immortal classic Daikatana. Ok, I'll try to contain my sarcasm, but its hard to keep...

This came perilously close to making me forget all about Final Fantasy.

by churst , Aug 11 '01
Pros: Genuinely hilarious, fascinating level design, simplistic yet cool RPG system
Cons: Too short for an RPG, it starts off quite slow, ***patch*** it before playing!!!!!
I, being a fool who has pretty much confined himself to computer games only (and occasionally playing PSX fighting games at a friend's house), had heard time and time again about how freaking great all console-style role playing games are. But you sure...

Suprisingly, Anachronox Is From Ion Storm

by gorocco Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 26 '01
Pros: Console RPG gameplay on the PC, rich soundtrack, humor
Cons: Linear story, lack of side quests, dated graphics
Ion Storm, the laughing stock of the gaming industry for the coaster named Daikatana, has released yet another game. This time, however, Tom Hall delivers the goods with the sci-fi RPG, Anachronox.

The dancing robot made me laugh so hard I tipped my chair!

by lorinsilver , Jul 27 '01
Pros: Lots of variations, very funny, excellent storyline
Cons: A little easy, graphics are a bit outdated.
Anachronox is one of those games that seemed to take forever to make. A long, long time ago (2 year), when the Quake II-engine was the hottest thing around, Ion Storm announced they were making a sci-fi Role-Playing Game Adventure, and many...

Ripping off Squaresoft has never been more fun!

by kfj001 , Jan 19 '03
Pros: Good gameplay, interesting story, great graphics
Cons: Mediocre music, bad ending to a good story.
Intro...
Ok. The makers of Deus Ex come together for one big send off... That final, fated title; Anachronox. 'Nox, as I will hereafter refer to it, is a PC RPG played from the 3rd person perspective, featuring a turn based battle system,...

Third time's the charm.

by Tyger13 , Nov 10 '01
Pros: Really interesting world and characters, well done graphics, good speech.
Cons: Not enough voice work. Slightly unstable, some really annoying bugs.
First off, let me say that there is no such thing as a computer role playing game. I don't care what people say, a rigidly bound computer game does not and will never match a pencil and paper game for flexibility, and that is what makes a game...

Console Game on the PC?

by daleth , Dec 24 '01
Pros: Original world, interesting concept
Cons: Plays like a console game, the soundtrack put me to sleep
Anachronox has an interesting concept. Sometime in the future, mankind has found a bunch of technology left by highly advanced aliens, who are now long dead. Chief of these discoveries is a city in the center of the universe, dubbed Anachronox, and...

Anachronox

by benerdin , Jul 15 '01
Pros: Gameplay, cut-scenes, story-telling, living environments, humorous character interaction
Cons: Bugs, unplayability
WARNING: The detailed review of this game is long. Below is a meager attempt at a paragraph summary. It should provide basic answers, but the detailed review should be read for indepth gameplay information.

Engrossing.

by mute , Oct 24 '01
Pros: Depth! Lots of depth! Engaging storyline, bizarre characters.
Cons: Slightly dated graphics. Combat gets tedious.

So, I don't usually get into computer or console RPGs. I think they're difficult to translate to computer screens. I tried to play the various Final Fantasy games, and they failed to engage me. Anachronox, though, sucked me right in and didn't...
