Anachronox: Difference between revisions

'''''[[Anachronox''']]'' was a third-person RPG from mid-2001, developed by Ion Storm Dallas (infamous for ''[[Daikatana]]''; the ''[[Deus Ex]]'' team was Ion Storm Austin) for the PC. A sort of a love-letter to Japanese-style RPGs (especially games such as ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''), it tells a [[Science Fiction]] story that follows the tale of a down-on-his-luck detective Sylvester "Sly Boots" Bucelli and his eclectic [[True Companions]], who range from a stripper/assassin to an old collector of seemingly inert Phlebotinum to an alcoholic superhero to {{spoiler|a ''planet'' shrunken down to your size}}. In true JRPG tradition, Sly and his companions travel to a variety of planets, meet interesting and weird people, hunt for widgets, and engage in a lot of turn-based combat.
