Back of Box (German Version) - Premier Collection Release

Anachronox ("uh-NAK-ruh-nox") is a 3rd person, 3D role-playing game (RPG) using the heavily-modified Quake 2 engine (32-bit graphics, particle system, spline-based camera scriptor, APE programming language). The player controls up to three characters at a time, from an eventual cast of seven, exploring the galaxy. Gameplay is exploration and interaction of the environment, melee with various galactic foes, and discovery of unique weapons and items that aid you on your quest. You can choose different characters to play and different ways to do things, leading you to different events and areas in the game. Each character has different Battle Skills with unique effects, and World Skills they can use to access places and info the other characters can't. For instance, one character can talk to computers, another can "Yammer" people, annoying them so much by blathering on that they provide the info you need!

Exciting features include the third-person camera; real 3D battle sequences in context; 2D and 3D mini-games; lipsynched dialogue and facial expressions (mesh-deformation) during in-engine cinematics; multi-source blended directional vertex model lighting; procedural models; procedural textures (interform, etc); environment mapping; specular highlighting; various multitexture effects (shaders, etc); robust, powerful particle system (editor shipped in box); epic storyline with a rollercoaster of emotion; and tons of amazing weapons effects.
