anachronox

I've had it for a while, but finally played an hour of it last night.  AMAZING game.  Really enveloping and immersive, great world, characters, humor, etc.  And it's turn based combat!  It's got everything.  

anachronox

I've read about it for a long time.  It's built on a modified Quake 2 engine, and looks its age, but it doesn't look too terrible, and has a kind of charm I think.  

I got stuck in it last night which is why I quit, wasn't sure how to progress but I'm gona figure it out today and proceed.  Really neat game!

Both me and Ben have played it. We've both made blogs about its awesomeness haha. It was in my top rpgs of all time. Probably one of the funniest games I've played as well.

yeah, it is really funny, and the voice acting is surprisingly good for such an old game.  I'm really enjoying it.

Is it a retail version, the Steam or the GOG version?

I have it from GOG. It was recommended by Blake but I haven't really played it yet other than to check it out for 15 minutes. It one that I want to get to. 

It is in the current Humble Bunble too.

If it a PC Game then I probably never bothered with it. Is it in a need of a remake/HD re-release you think though?

i dunno, I've only played a bit, but it's pretty amazing.

That sounds like an interesting game, and the graphics aren't that bad, especially compared to some PSOne games (yikes!).

yeah they're better than a PSONE, but still look a little ugly sometimes!

Supposedly it was Ion Storm's homage to Chrono Trigger. Ironically, since it's an Ion Storm game, I guess that means it's now a Square Enix property.

hmmmm I'm not sure.  If it's an homage, it's very cleverly disguised.  It's cool though to play a game like this with a turn based system.  a lot of the mechanics are very interesing.

According to Tom Hall, the game's lead designer, the game did take a lot of inspiration from CT.

I checked it out the other day. My biggest beef so far is that I can't play it with my 360 controller. It's not that big an issue but it's there.

yeah the first time I played it I didn't like the control, but I'm used to it now.
