One more review from Just RPG. In it, Anachronox receives two ratings. A D- for the 1st half of the game and an A- for the second half.
Here's a tidbit:In the end, after playing it all the way through, I am glad I finished Anachronox. Although far from being an RPG classic, it has some of the most memorable characters in an RPG and I will never forget the stranded in space cut scene. The combat is easy, and although I never really needed the ultrapowerful weapons I created with mystec, it was still a blast to use them. Tom Hall, lead designer, and the crew of Ion Storm have all been fired, so it is unlikely that we will ever see a sequel to the game. That is a shame; if a game picked up where this one left off, had a nice new shiny engine, and followed the plot through other universes, I would believe we have a classic RPG. |
