Anachronox

He travels to other planets, amasses an unlikely group of friends, and unravels a mystery that threatens the fate of the universe. The gameplay for Anachronox is turn-based; the player controls a party of up to three characters as they explore a 3D environment of futuristic cities, space vessels, and outdoor areas. Despite critics enjoying the game and awarding it high marks for its design and story, Ion Storm closed its Dallas offices one month after the game's release. The player controls a party of up to four characters as they explore a 3D environment of futuristic cities, space vessels, and outdoor areas. Players can swap for new party members, talk to non-player characters, and collect and shop for equipment and items. As in Chrono Trigger, enemies are openly visible on field maps or lie in wait to ambush the party and thus are not random. Similar to Final Fantasy's Active Time Battle, each character has a meter that gradually fills with time. When the meter is full, characters can physically attack enemies, use MysTech magic, unleash BattleSkill attacks, use items, move to a different position, or use a nearby object to attack, if present. For playable characters and computer-controlled enemies, each attack has their number of hit points get reduced, which can be restored through healing items or MysTech slags. To create MysTech, players place colored bugs in empty slots on an Elementor Host. The color of bugs placed in the function slot determines the color of MysTech, while other slots modify the power and/or range of the spell.
