An excellent action/RPG hybrid with very unique gameplay. Your name is Jack Mower, a 20th century dude who just happened to be sucked into the world of Nox via his TV set. The world is in danger and you have to save it! But before you embark on your epic journey you must choose your path: warrior, wizard, or conjurer.
Choose the path of a warrior, and you will be able to equip and use all manner of swords, battle-axes, war hammers, and chakrams - though you’ll leave the magical mumbo-jumbo up to the Conjurer and Wizard classes. An enchanted weapon is the closest a Warrior gets to magic but that’s OK, because magic is for sissies.
As a Wizard you will explore the mystical art of spell casting, ranging from enemy-confounding illusions to devastating displays of metaphysical force. You’ll also learn to set magical traps containing deadly spell combinations to thwart the unsuspecting foe. Although you’ll have to renounce the use of ungainly swords and armor in the name of your art, you will still be able to wield a staff as a last-ditch physical defense.
If you choose a Conjurer you will be able to magically charm and summon creatures to do your bidding. You can even create a magical creature called a bomber which can wreak sorcerous havoc on your enemies. You’ll also get plenty of experience wielding staves and bows to fend off the few enemies who manage to slip past your minions.
Throwback Thursday Recommendation
We share the earnest reasons that make a classic game so dear to us!
Recommended by Kilg0re_Tr0ut from GOG Stream Team: Nox is a truly underrated game from Westwood Studios. Often written off as a "Diablo-clone", this is really a unique quest oriented action RPG. You play Jack, a young man who (along with his TV) is accidentally teleported to Nox by the evil Hecubah, and it is your job to right things in Nox and eventually defeat her. The story and gameplay adapts to accommodate one of three different character classes you have to choose from, the Warrior, who can't use magic, but has access to all armor and weapon types (except bows and staves), the Conjurer, who can use bows and crossbows, can use some spells, but specialize in summoning monsters that can fight alongside them, and the Wizard class, who specialize in the vast majority of spells in the game, and can even teleport and become invisible. This adds tremendous replayability as playing the game with each character makes for a completely different experience, basically giving you three games in one. Easy to get into, Nox is highly recommended for fans of the genre."

Nox must be regarded easily the best aRPG of all time! The first time i played it was back in 2001 when i was like 17 years old. Still intact to this day. Lots o' congratz to GOG/ CD Project. Ah the games of that era were special, for instance check the interface of Nox, Max Payne Series etc. were so magical. I'm just sad thinkin that this gem of game ended up in EA's garbages. If E.A. didn't buy Bioware Studios and they closed it shortly after, we might have seen like a Nox 2. A 12/10
A great thing about Nox is that it does not take itself too seriously:
-The main character is an average guy called Jack. Jack, the Warrior. Jack, the Conjurer. Jack, the Wizard.
-The dialogue is corny and satirical. I am sure it's on purpose.
As for the game itself. The graphics still look great, sound is good to excellent, challenge level is good up until Chapter 9 where the game gets considerably more difficult. Spells are very interesting, the controls feel great. Expect to spend 10-14 hours per character completing the campaign. There is also multiplayer through alternate service providers, if that's your thing.
All things considered, great value for the price.
Nox is one of those game that, no matter what, it stand true against the test of time.
Indeed, Its core gameplay is something out of a diablo two-clone ( with little bits of divine divinity 1?) but with its own incredible style and quirks, such as environmental puzzles and interesting spells ( to be clear, they are not unique, but really well done, and also these features are made to work amiably together).
Furthermore, the game wants the player to feel fast but deliberate in its action, with a reasonable amount of spells that allow a good gameplay's personalization, and that's not taking into account that the game offers three different classes with different spells lists.
On top of that, all of the gameplay's mechanics are in perfect harmony with the difficulty of this game: never a moment feels dull or a mindless grinding, a terrible defect that many games of the same genre share.
Speaking of the game's story, it oscillates between serious ( in-game story) and comedy tone ( cinematics), and it does a matching soundtrack ( with some epic tunes).
But really surprised me is the graphics: always colorful, fun and made in a way that this game never looks old, but just stylish and cool.
So, it feels, by this review, that this game is good but not truly a 5 stars, but trust me: to get me hooked in what it's basically a isometric hack'n'slash with a classical fantasy setting that I personally hate, you know this game is really outstanding.
P.S.
I'll write this here, if you don't want to search too long for the screen flashy problem: just change the compatibility setting in the .EXE file in windows 98, and the problem is solved 80% of the time.
A game that brought magic into my childhood, so glad to see it here, the details and the ambience are the best part of it, making you feel the magic in such a way other games can't.
*For people having trouble with the crash!! found an easy fix just find the exe file that starts the game, run it on compatibility mode with windows 98/Me and run as admin!! Pure magic
Everything in NOX is beautiful and atmospheric, full of incredible details and particle effects which I've never seen in any ARPG before or even after... Definitely has a unique artistic "DNA"!
Well, don't go into the adventure expecting a "Diablo clone", as NOX isn't one, nor does it try to be. Keep in mind that is an "Adventure" with ARPG elements and everything else your way. Honestly, this is one of those games that deserves more love, unfortunately, it didn't get the attention it deserves because Diablo 2 was released in the same year (2000). NOX is graphically more beautiful than D2! So don't pay attention to the negative reviews and BUY! And use the "cnc-ddraw" wrapper to make NOX work on your system. Believe me, you won't regret it. ;)
