| Anachronox V1.01 English | 
| Before i introduce the game, why a version number? This file includes both CD images, wich in themselve have the Update and matching crack for for Version 1.01 in them. Just check the readme.txt in the ace file and watch for the crack folder on CD 2.
The game follows the adventures of Sylvester "Sly" Boots, a down-on-his-luck detective trying to repay a hefty debt. Taking a simple assignment as a bodyguard, Sly finds himself caught up in much larger events, and the fate of the universe is placed in his unlikely hands.
Gameplay consists entirely of two elements: point-and-click adventure and turn-based combat. The early part especially requires you to click on every object and person you encounter. Battles are classic turn-based encounters, with combatants lined up on two sides taking turns attacking. Unfortunately, these elements are far from balanced. The first half of the game gets a little monotonous with an overabundance of pointing and clicking, while the second half contains too many battles. The former problem is exacerbated by uneven storytelling. Although the dialogue and characterizations are great, the early part really drags. The writers tried to mimic the pacing of FFVII's story, but weren't nearly as successful. While the cutscenes are very impressive, the in-game graphics are quite blocky, and you can tell that the game was based on the old Quake II game engine.
Despite these technical and aesthetic flaws, Anachronox remains a charming game. Its blend of sci-fi and humor gives it a tone akin to an edgier Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This, combined with its console-like gameplay, makes it appealing to a much broader audience than your typical PC RPG.
