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."

Firstly let me just say that if you think Nox is like Diablo then you must also think Amnesia is like Doom.
The games are chalk and cheese.
Nox is an adventure action game that offers you 3 playable classes (Warrior, Conjurer, Wizard) that each have their own unique story for you to play through. The primary objective of Nox is to finish the story and high five yourself.
Its not a loot grind, and the "levels" you play through don't just hurl monsters at you for the sake of it in stupid quantities.
Whilst the story isn't exactly complex, it is still good enough to get you hooked and make you want to see it through to the end.
All up its just a really fun game to play through that was ahead of its time when released, but under appreciated.
Enjoy
Many may call me crazy, but I will take Nox over Diablo 2 any day of the week. They have some similarities, but Nox was a blast. There were 3 different paths through the game depending upon the class you choose. The action is great, there's loot, hidden areas, interesting characters and locations, humor, and pretty good voice acting. It also let's you interact with the environment (using some 2D physics) in clever ways to solve puzzles and get around obstacles. For instance, you could use a push spell to push barrels of water into fire to put out the flames so you could walk through unharmed. The only downside to Nox is there was no sequel and the company that created it is long gone. It's a shame. Pick this one up if you like action RPGs.
As a player who happened upon this game almost randomly in a youtube video, this was a great bit of fun. It takes you through one of three short stories depending on which class you choose. The mechanics are decent even if aiming feels a bit weird to do, and the world and story don't take themselves too seriously. I don't play top-down action games like this much, but I'm glad I went for it when I saw this game. It's worth it a full price, and extra worth it if you get it when it's on sale!
I played this game almost every day in my youth, and when my CD finaly broke It was not for sale anymore... and know that it is here on GoG I can't play it because it does not work on OS windows 10... and that bums me out... since I am enept at tech I can
t make my computer run two systems at once.....
So my only request would be to make it work on Windows 10 since you made it work for windows 8...Thats it cause I love that you reworked this old world wonder
Bears virtually no resemblance to Diablo bar the top down perspective, so the constant referencing from release to now is mind-boggling. It's more like a top-down precursor to hero shooter gameplay than an ARPG, and was made for that PvP first.
It came with an irreverent and fun static campaign clearly intended to ease you in to the pvp skills and then they bolted on an infinite procedural dungeon, both of which hold up as long as you're not expecting to grind for loot and levels.
If you can get through the technical hurdles for multiplayer, you'll find yourself at max level with all the toys on an even playing field for capture the flag and such with people who probably have hundreds or thousands of hours of muscle memory. Which is a bit too harsh for me, but maybe some competitive types might thrive on that.
