The game was rock solid on most fronts – presentation, gameplay and storyline, and it did really well with the critics too. Unfortunately, it was crushed by other bigger releases and just slipped by, turning into another financial failure for Ion Storm. This time around, the company couldn’t take the blow, and in 2001, the company’s main office in Dallas was shut down.
Ion Storm Inc. was a studio with a lot of potential, but very little to show for it. For fans like me however, those two games – Deus Ex and Anachronox, were of a different level and in a league of their own. No matter what, Ion Storm will always be special to many gamers out there, like me.
Rest in Peace, Ion Storm.
